Quotes 

• 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 : Am I dead?

  Crysta : No.

  Batty Koda : We can fix that for ya!

• Crysta : But just think. Humans back in the forest!

  Batty Koda : Yep. There goes the neighborhood.

  Crysta : Be nice, Batty.

  Batty Koda : First thing, all these trees go. Then come your highways, then come your shopping malls, and your parking lots, and your convenience stores, and then come...

  [Zak shorts out Batty's antenna] 

  Batty Koda : Price check on prune juice, Bob. Price check on prune juice.

• [Crysta pulls Batty from tree he just flew into] 

  Batty Koda : Oh, sonic interference, what a nightmare... I thought I saw a human...

  [sees Zak] 

  Batty Koda : AH! HUMAN!

  [falls from tree] 

  Crysta : That's a human?

  Batty Koda : Yes! Yes! Kill it! Restrain it! Medicate it! Something!

  [takes deep breaths] 

  Batty Koda : Puff up! Puff up! They hate that!

• 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.

• Goanna : [about to eat Zak]  Welcome to the food chain.

  Crysta : Stop! He's a human!

  Goanna : Uhh... what's a human?

  Batty Koda : Delicious and nutritious! Tastes just like chicken!

  Crysta : [Crysta glares at Batty, then flies over to the Goanna]  He's my friend.

  Goanna : Any friend of a fairy...

  [spits out Zak] 

  Goanna : ... is a friend of mine.

  Crysta : Thanks.

  Goanna : You owe me a free dinner after this one.

• Batty Koda : [after saving Crysta and Zak from the leveler]  "Don't go," I said. "Bad idea," I said. But would you listen? No. Don't listen to Batty. Well what do we have here? Shoes... animals don't wear shoes... A HUMAN!

  Crysta : A TREE!

  Batty Koda : WOAH!

  [flies into tree...] 

• [Crysta looks at cloud of black smoke coming from Mt. Warning and realizes Batty is not with her] 

  Crysta : Batty? Batty... Well come on!

  Batty Koda : [looks around]  My heart! Oh! My heart!

  [falls back] 

  Batty Koda : ... I can't go on... heaven my little wings can't make it!

  Crysta : Hmmm maybe you should wait here for me...

  Batty Koda : A fabulous idea... only why don't you stay here with me?

  Crysta : [kisses his nose]  Don't worry I'll be right back

  Batty Koda : Why do I not believe you?

• Crysta : Will you both just calm down?

  Batty Koda , Zak : He tried to kill you!

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

• Batty Koda : [follows Crysta]  Yeah, this territory looks kinda familiar. Fabulous day in the canopy, isn't it. Well, where do you think you're going?

  Crysta : Mount Warning.

  [Batty goes stunned an knocks into a tree] 

  Batty Koda : I know where I am. I know where I am. HEY! You scared me there. For a minute, I thought you said you were going to Mount Warning.

  Crysta : Well, I did.

  Batty Koda : BUT THERE'RE HUMANS ON MOUNT WARNING!

  Crysta : Exactly!

  Batty Koda : Fractured fig, fairy bug, come on! Mount Warning is the last place a little fairy like you wants to go. Look at these! D'you think nature did this? D'you think I put this on to get better reception? NO! Humans did this. We should stay here. It's nice here.

• 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.

• Crysta : [feeling a freshly cut stump with her hand which glows from the pain]  Magi, can you heal it?

  Magi Lune : [solemnly]  A force outside of nature did this. I can't heal it, and I can't stop it.

  Crysta : Zak can! I know what did this, Magi: a monster the humans fight. Humans can stop it. They have these magic red marks that...

  [Magi cuts her by shaking her head no as they turn seeing a huge dark red 'X' mark on the stump] 

  Crysta : [appalled]  But Zak said...

  [Crysta flies further out passing all the red X's, to her shock the whole forest is gone, she then sees humans loading the logs onto a tractor-trailer] 

  Crysta : [sadly]  Humans did it. Humans did it all.

• Crysta : [preventing Batty from getting dizzier after his first appearance]  Bless your heart with magic light; I give the gift of fairy sight!

• Crysta : Magi, don't leave me!

  Magi Lune : I love you. I'll always be with you.

  [Magic fades away into blue specks] 

  Magi Lune : We all have the power - and it grows when it is shared. Remember what you learned, Crysta.

  [the specks scatter to all the fairies, including Zak as the tree opens back up] 

  Crysta : [sadly]  Oh, Magi...

• 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!

• Pips : So, what the Mage have to say?

  Crysta : She said I should start getting serious.

  Pips : 'Bout time.

  Crysta : Oh, and stop hanging around with bug-brained layabouts like you.

• 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.

• Crysta : [seeing a tree about to crush Zak after he catches her]  Bless your eyes with magic light; I give the gift of fairy size - oh, sight!

• Ock : Halt! Who goes there!

  Rock : Hi, Crysta!

  Ock : Okay, what's the password?

  Crysta : Oh, come on, you guys!

  Ock : Hey, is that the password? It sounds good.

  Crysta : [flies off]  Bye!

  Rock : Bye! That's it, that's the password.

  Ock : I don't know if that's the password or not. I'm so confused!

• 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] 

• Crysta : [about to change Zak back to his normal size]  What was done, now undo. Return you to the form that's true. Good-bye, Zak.

• Crysta : [about Zak]  He's a bodacious babe!
