Quotes
Puff:
"Imaginary friend or not, Terry was nobody without Nobody. He lost interest... his marks dropped off in school... who would laugh at his squishy jokes now? That is why one night, after his mother had tucked him into bed, Terry ran away. He was determined to find his friend. But since his friend wasn't there to help him knot the sheets correctly..."
Puff:
"(singing) It's sad, I know; it was once told in some old dragon song:
We children learn that pretend friends can't stay the whole life long.
Pretended ducks are wonderful, but then it's time to grow...
It's so hard to say goodbye, as we magic dragons know."
Puff:
"Terry needed a friend--a companion of his own frame of mind, with whom to share his wonders and discoveries, exhilirations and disappointment, trinkets and treasures."

Puff:
"That house? Impossible! Nobody lives there."
Terry:
"You know him, too?"
Puff:
"(setting Terry down) Hmm, a distant cousin, but a bosom companion. He lives there with a chap named, um... Terry."
