I wonder how many people will pick up on what this scene script represents essoterically... ...Rob. The Neverending Story Script Page 3 of 6 Atreyu: The Shell Mountain. VIEW: of Bastian as he looks up from the book. Bastian: Morla the ancient one. WIDE VIEW: Atreyu climbs up the muddy mountain and calls for Morla several times. The mountain starts moving and he grabs a tree branch. The branch breaks and he slides down the mountain, hurting his shoulder. He lands in the swamp ground below and turns and crawls away to a tree nearby that faces the mountain. He climbs it and sees a giant turtle head coming out of the mountain. Bastian screams and Atreyu and Morla look around. Bastian sits up SURPRISED. Bastian: But thats impossible, they couldnt have heard me. Atreyu: Are you Morla, the ancient one? Morla: Not that it matters but yes. Atreyu: Please help me Morla. Do you recognize this? Morla: Well, we havent seen the Auryn in a long time. Atreyu: We ? (he looks around) Is there someone else here too? Morla: We havent spoken to anyone else for thousands of years, so we started talking to ourselves. (she sneezes and blows Atreyu out of the tree.) Atreyu: Morla, I bring terrible news. Did you know that the Empress is very ill? Morla: Not that it matters, but yes. Actually we dont care. Atreyu: If I dont save her, shell die! Theres a terrible nothing sweeping over the land. Dont you care about that? ! Morla: We dont even care whether on not we care. Atreyu: Do you have a cold? Morla: No, were allergic to youth. Atreyu: You know how I can help the Empress dont you? Morla: Not that it matters, but yes. Atreyu: If you dont tell me and the nothing keeps coming, youll die to! Both of you! Morla: Die ? That at least would be something. She starts to sneeze again, but doesnt so Atreyu relaxes his grip on the tree. Unknowing that she can sneeze at any moment. Atreyu: Please tell me. You said you knew the answer. She sneezes and blows him out of the tree. She becomes agitated. Morla: Were tired of sneezing, go away. Nothing matters. Atreyu: (He climbs back up the tree) Thats not true. If it didnt really matter to you then youd tell me. Morla: Hah hah, clever boy. Atreyu: Tell me please ! Morla: We dont know, but you can ask the Southern Oracle. Atreyu: How can I get there? Morla: You cant . Its ten thousand miles away. Atreyu: But thats so far. Morla: Thats right. Forget it. Good night.
