- Puff the Magic Dragon: Never ain't forever/ When Teacher makes the rules/ And squishy cherries just don't float/ At least in Terry's school.
- Teacher: *Real* trees, Terry, and *real* houses. And make sure nobody helps you.
- Terry: Next time I'll just tell them Nobody did it, then I won't get blamed.
- Puff the Magic Dragon: [singing] Terry was so hurt and sad, that his talent,/He just hid./ When someone said, "Did you do that?"/ He said, "Nobody did."/ Soon he believed that all his talent/ Came from his dear friend/ Sometimes we talk ourselves into what starts out as pretend.
- Puff the Magic Dragon: Nobody told me all about you. Did he ever mention me - Puff the Magic Dragon?
- Terry: You're... Why, he taught me a song about you. We played it on the piano.
