• Batty Koda : [crashes into a tree]  I'M BLIND, ON, NO!

  [opens his eyes] 

  Batty Koda : I can see! It's a miracle! Another perfect landing! No worries! I'm okay! Thank you for caring. Just a few bruises.

  [sees that no one is listening] 

  Batty Koda : Nobody cares about me.

  Zak : I do you, bat-man.

  Batty Koda : You sure?

  Zak : I'm positive.

  Batty Koda : Only fools are positive.

  Zak : Are you sure?

  Batty Koda : I'm positive...

  [as Zak laughs] 

  Batty Koda : I fell for it! I should have known!

• Crysta : But how can you live without trees?

  Zak : Easy.

  Crysta : But trees give life. They make the clouds, the water, the air.

  Zak : We have air.

  Batty Koda : Yeah, if you don't mind getting all your minerals in one breath.

• [Zak is trying to convince Batty to turn back] 

  Batty Koda : What're you, crazy, that's lemming talk!

  Zak : [hits Batty's antenna]  Wrong channel!

  Batty Koda : [in English accent]  Hail, Caesar! Emperor of Rome!

  Zak : [Batty floats offscreen]  Wrong channel!

  Batty Koda : [back onscreen; imitates John Wayne]  Well all right, Gunny! We're goin' to war!

• Zak : Am I dead?

  Crysta : No.

  Batty Koda : We can fix that for ya!

• Crysta : Are you okay?

  Zak : [screams to his horror]  WHAT HAPPENED TO ME! I-I-I'M THREE INCHES TALL!

  Crysta : Oh... I shrank you.

  Zak : You what?

  Crysta : Well, it was the most amazing thing. 'Course, it's not what the spell was really supposed to do, but Magi Lune will fix you.

  Zak : You... you shrank me?

  Crysta : Yeah!

  Batty Koda : Catches on quick, doesn't he?

• Crysta : What are you doing?

  Zak : Carving your name. See? C-R-Y-S...

  Crysta : No, no, you mustn't do that! Here.

  [puts Zak's hand on the carving in the tree] 

  Crysta : Can't you feel its pain?

  Zak : [in disbelief]  Its *pain*?

  Crysta : Yes!

  Batty Koda : Humans can't feel anything. They're numb from the brain down.

• Ralph : [sees Zak sliding on the windshield]  Hey, Tone, there's a little man on the windshield here.

  Zak : TONY, RALPH, IT'S ME, ZAK!

  Ralph : [suddenly recognizes him]  Hey, Tone!

  Hexxus : KEEP IT MOVING, BOY!

  Ralph , Tony : AAAAAAHHHHH!

• Crysta : Will you both just calm down?

  Batty Koda , Zak : He tried to kill you!

  Batty Koda , Zak : I did not! You did!

• Zak : What about you, Crysta? What is it that fairies do?

  Crysta : Do?

  Zak : Yeah, do you have jobs or something?

  Crysta : What's a job?

  Zak : Guess that answers that question. Look, what do you do all day?

  Crysta : Help things grow.

  Zak : Really? That sounds cool.

  Crysta : No, usually it's warm.

  Zak : No, cool means it's hot.

  Crysta : What?

  Zak : You know - bodacious, bad, tubular...

  Batty Koda : Awesome use of the language, dude.

  Zak : As in, you are one bodacious babe.

  Crysta : And that's good... I mean, cool?

  Zak : That's right! We're communicating.

  Crysta : Tubular!

• Zak : Buzz off? I'm not buzzing anywhere. Now unshrink me, and I mean now.

  Crysta : Well, I guess I could take a bash at it.

  Zak : "Take a bash"?

  Crysta : Actually, I'm just sort of learning.

  Zak : Great, I've been shrunk by an amateur. I don't believe this. Okay, okay, come on! Bash away!

• Zak : What are you supposed to be, some kind of fairy?

  Crysta : Of course I am. What about you? Are you really a human?

  Zak : Last time I checked.

• Tony : Zak!

  Ralph : What happened here?

  [they see the entire forest almost empty with tree stumps, Zak smiles and plants a seed remembering what Crysta told him] 

  Zak : I will remember.

  [Zak leaves with Tony and Ralph] 

  Zak : [solemnly]  Guys, things have gotta change.

• Crysta : [after Zak lights a match, gasps]  What is it?

  Zak : It's fire.

  Crysta : [curiously]  That's fire?

  [Crysta touches it until] 

  Crysta : OW!

  Zak : Careful!

• Crysta : What's a machine?

  Zak : It's a... thing. Cutting down trees.

  Crysta : That's terrible!

  Zak : Only if you live in a tree.

  Crysta : I *do* live in a tree!

  Zak : Oh.

• Pips : Hey, what's going on, Zak?

  Zak : Huh? What are you talking about?

  Pips : You know exactly what I'm talking about: the forest! You know what's happening, don't you?

  Zak : But...

  Elder : Good idea, ask the human. He may know.

  Crysta : Crysta?

  Crysta : [in tears, angry]  You lied to me!

  Zak : Uh... I... Crysta!

  [Crysta flies off in anger] 

• Zak : [remorsefully]  I wish - I wish the human tales were true. They're not here to protect the forest; they're cutting down trees.

  [the fairies gasp in shock] 

  Zak : They're destroying the forest! And I was helping them do it. Batty was right.

  Batty Koda : [in surprise]  I was?

  Zak : They're coming this way. You can't stop them. You'll have to leave.

• Pips : Why don't you come with me and the boys? We'll give you a taste of real FernGully wildlife? Unless of course you're not up to it.

  Zak : I'm up for anything you can dish out, bud.

• Zak : Keep the stereo, dude.

  Pips : Thanks... dude.
