The NeverEnding Story III Page #3

show you a thing or two, young man!

Bastian?

Engywook?

Welcome back, me boy!

Ha! Engywook!

Sorry I wrecked your house.

I must've taken

a wrong turn... somewhere.

Ah, yes, well, inter-world travel

is a very imprecise science.

I wrote a paper

on that very subject, didn't I?

Yes, yes!

Alright!

It doesn't look so bad.

I can fix it.

When I get my hands on that slippery

weasel, I'm going to rock his world.

(Pushes over books)

Ah... Yo! Maybe he's hiding

in one of these books!

Yo, Balthazar!

(Chortles)

Did anybody check in there?

Yeah, just a pile of junk.

(HAUNTING, MAGICAL

(MISCHIEVOUS MUSIC PLAYS)

'The Neverending Story'.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Ah!

I don't believe I've read that.

I must put it

on my preferred reading list.

Why don't you put 'Learning to Read'

on your preferred list first?

Why you always dissing me, man?

Why don't you look

into the mirror and find out?

(The others snigger)

Shhhh!

"In order to escape the Nasties..."

The Nasties?

"...Bastian rushed inside the nearest

door of the school library."

(Gasps) The Nasties - that's us!

Now how can something

that's happening right now...

...be in this book?

It ain't possible!

"Slip, the leader of the Nasties,

exclaimed to the others,

"'How can something that's happening

right now be in this book?"'

Yo! I just said that.

(Grunts)

Yeah.

"'Yo! I just said that."'

That is so cool! Let me try.

OK! (Clears throat)

Um... the-the print's too small.

You know what it is?

Your brain is too small.

The print is fine.

"Safe at last

among his tiny little friends,

"Bastian settled in front

of the patched-up gnome hovel,

"chewing on the last tiny morsels

of a gnome-cooked meal.

"When he finished his account

"of what brought him

back to Fantasia,

"Engywook popped a fresh toothpick

in his nearly toothless mouth,

"shook his onion-sized bald head

and sighed to his human friend..."

That's quite a story, young man.

These Nasties

sound downright... nasty!

Are you finished

with your snake patties, dearie?

Snake patties?

Snake! Yeah, I'm finished.

(Laughs nervously)

Where exactly

is the book now, Bastian?

It is in a safe place, isn't it?

(DISTANT WOLF HOWLS

OMINOUSLY)

Well, uh...

"It's safe alright."

(Laughs)

I smell wood burning!

(Laughs)

Well, if Balthazar could make up

anything he wanted to happen

in Fantasia while he read this book,

maybe we could make

a few things happen to him...

...while he's there.

What are we waiting for?

Let's get NASTY!

(All shriek and whoop)

(VIOLENT ROCK MUSIC POUNDS)

What's this?

They said it'd be sunny today.

Oooh! I think I'll take

a raincheck here.

Whoa! Careful!

Watch the leaves, will ya?!
