Hiding in the school library, Bastian finds his favorite book of THE NEVERENDING STORY, where it is later found by Slip, the gang leader. The latter recognizes the power of the book and begins to form Fantasia after his bad intentions. When the chaos becomes worse the Child-like Empress requests Bastian to move back to the real world, get the book back and save Fantasia.

(Gnomes keep yelling)

The mall. OK. 'Bye.

(Gnomes wail)

Shhhh!

Stop!

Let us out!

Ohhhhhh! Candy?

Let us out!

There's no time.

We gotta go.

BOTH:
No! We've got to go!

(Giggles)

Ugh!

(Laughs)

Do you see what I see?

Hey, that's it!

If anybody says anything to you,

just say, "Trick or treat?"

Twick or tweat?

Don't put words in my knothole.

I'm 300 years older than you.

You wanna end up

in a botanical garden?

Twick or tweat!

OK, trick or treat.

This is so embarrassing.

Oooooh! That's so gross!

My costume's real.

Where'd you get yours - K-Mart?

Ooh, pretty!

Yeah, yeah.

She looks like leaf mould.

If this is the way

you humans amuse yourselves,

take me back to Fantasia!

(Chuckles) What a dweeb!

OK, come on, guys.

Balthazar's sister's right upstairs.

ALL:
Whooo!

SONG:
I'm so happy I'm a girl

'Cause I'm a girly girl...

Oh, it fits so perfectly.

I really wish I had this dress.

You look just stunning in that.

Darling, it's yours.

Could you wrap it up

in big, fluffy bows?

Fluffy bows?

Oh, gosh, I don't know.

We're awfully busy.

I really wish you would.

Red... or blue?

Red.

Oh, look! They're havin' a sale

in the garden department!

There's no time for shopping.

Let's split up.

If you guys find Nicole,

bring her back here.

Watch him.

Oh, great!

Leaves me with the mini-landslide!

We go see toys!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Just don't expect me

to change your diapers.

There was a girl

looking so delicious

Standing at the bar in front of me

The guy who touched her hand

is looking pretty

Now he's turned around

watching me...

Right, you've convinced me.

I'll take it.

I am so happy I'm a girl

'Cause I'm a girly girl

Come over here, little boy

We gotta twist and turn

'Cause I'm a girly girl

I'm a girly girl...

(SONG FADES)

Hmm. A little more purple.

You know something?

In all the time I've been Empress,

it never occurred to me

to go shopping with the Oran.

Well, that's because you serve

a higher purpose, my Empress.

Oh.

Here's where we spread out

and get the gold.

SONG:
We're livin'

in a nasty world...

Oooh! Funny!

(Giggles)

Let's see a smile here.

Come on.

(CAMERA SNAPS)

Next!

Me!

(RAP SONG PLAYS)

CHILD:
You bully!

It was my turn!

Twick or tweat!

Twick or twea!

(CRASHING SOUND)

(Junior cries)

This is the time

to change your mind

Maybe together

We can be strong

so give a sign...

Ugh! Bastion!

When are you going

to return that book?

Mr Coreander,

have you seen my sister?

I wasn't aware you had a sister.

I don't.

I mean... not a real one.

Look, I gotta find her before...

...the Nasties do!

Don't believe an illusion

You're never

gonna change the world...

Got it!

Livin' in a nasty world...

Whoo-hoo-hoooo!

Hey! Come back here!

Nicole, where's the Oran?

He just took it!

(FAST DANCE MUSIC)

(Laughs maniacally)

(SMASH!)

(WHOOSHING SOUND)

Ohhh! I've got the Oran!

I've got the Oran!

Had the Oran!

(Screams) Ooh! Aaagh!

Nicole, hurry! She's got the Oran!

She's got it! She's got it!

She has got it!

Come and get it, Balthazar!

She's getting away!

Hey! Wait for me!

(Both scream)

Ahhh, I'm going back

to the garden department.

(FRENZIED, VIOLENT MUSIC

POUNDS)

Where'd they go?

I don't know.

They must've used

the Oran to disappear.

What'll happen if you

don't get the Oran back?

Don't you realise what you've caused?

The entire civilisation of Fantasia

will go down the toilet!

And maybe ours will go down with it.

I really hope you enjoyed

your little shopping spree.

(Laughs malevolently)

Oh, Nicole!

Now I'll be telling

the story forever, Balthazar.

Yo, Empress!

Check it out, Wilma -

I'm the new keeper of the book.

My name is not Wilma.

Oh!

Yo, Large Head! What's up?

(Laughs maniacally)

And, um... Old Man,

you've got more company coming.

(Both laugh)

Then Bastian has failed

and the Fantasia that we know

will be a thing of the past.

(Both laugh)

(Creature screeches)

(SINISTER MUSIC PLAYS)

(Creatures squawk and chatter)

Let's get outta here!

Barky! Let's go!

Bastian!

Come on, Barky!

Wait! I'm not validated.

Oh! Ow!

Stop shaking us around,

you great lump of lumber!

Ah! It's gridlock out here!

Hundreds of humans are testing out

their air bags at the same time!

These creatures are crazy!

(ANGRY SHOUTING,

BANGING AND SMASHING

Why are they all being so nasty?

Mr Coreander?!

Yo! Chief!

What about the luck dragon?

(Groans) This is not

my favourite part of the story.

Looks like he's out of luck.

(Laughs)

BARNEY:
Stay with me, Jane!

Where is... Oh, God!

There they are! There they are!

Bastian!

Why didn't you say

you were coming here?

It's like Armageddon out there.

I keep telling you,

let me know where you're going.

Nicole, look at you.

GIRL:
Nicole, would you

take your stuff now, please?

Where'd you get the money

for all this?

They gave it to me.

They gave this to you?!

Nicole, sweetie,

I don't quite understand.

The stores just decide to give

Nicole half their inventory?!

I want the truth, young lady,

and I want it now!

I wished for it.

What?!

Barney, give her

a chance to explain.

Don't tell me what to do, Jane!

See? I knew this would happen!

Nicole!

You come back here this second!

Dad!

The Nasty is controlling you!

Don't give in to the darkness.

Come on!

This is so cool!

No, no!

Vile creatures, stay out!

Let them in, you globe-domed geek!

Empress, you said

no cheap head jokes.

So sue me! Huh!

Honeykins, can you come in here?

What is it now?

Yaaaaa!

Is that the best you can do?

Ugh!

(Roars) Eeeeeow!

(Rabbit groans weakly)

BASTIAN:
Nicole!

Nicole! Wait!

Nicole!

Nicole!

Hey!

Let me go!

Your mom and my dad

are at each other's throats.

I don't care!

You must!

They're our parents! We're a family!

No, we're not! It's better this way.

Better to do it now.

Do what now?

Let them fight and get divorced.

My parents used to fight

all the time.

First my dad would yell at me,

then they'd yell at each other!

It's all happening again!

It's not! It's the Nasty!

We have to stop it!

You can't stop it. I tried.

No matter what I did

it didn't stop.

They still got divorced.

This is my story

and I'm not gonna let it happen.

Bastian!

(LOUD EXPLOSION)

Bastian!

Are you OK?

What happened?

I thought you were electrocuted.

It scared me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Bastian, I'm gonna help you

get the Oran back.

Why should you help?

At least this way your mom will get

her stupid sewing room back.

(Sniggers)

(Voice echoes) Bastian. Bastian.

What? I look too 'un' for you?

Stop it!

Unsophisticated? Uncool?

I'm sick of it!

You're a spoilt little brat!

Stop it!

It's the Nasty

that's doing this, not you.

You would never act this way.

Don't you understand?

You're too nice.

Oh, yeah!

I want it to be your room.

I'm sorry for all the mean things

I ever said to you.

I want you to be my brother.

You really do want me for a brother?

Yes.

I just didn't want
