Getafix : We shall return home when I've seen the last of the druids.
Asterix : [Snaps] Oh, I can't believe this! We've been trudging all over Gaul with our stupid little crib notes for weeks! Not one of these guys is good enough!
Vitalstatistix : Asterix, don't get upset.
Asterix : I am not upset! Just like you, I can stumble and fall.
[Pretends to fall]
Asterix : Oop! Ow! See that? I almost fell down. That's it, I'm done. I need a replacement. There. Meet my successor. The new first warrior of our village! Here's your dagger. And your helmet too and your potion.
Geriatrix : Hmm? - What was that? But by Teutates...
Asterix : You have a good time now. I'll be doing something else! 'Cause I'm good and fed up with the indomitables who can't see beyond their own moustaches! Obelix, are you coming?
Obelix : No Mister Asterix I'm very much not coming! I'm not following a little man who chooses an old fogey to replace him over his so-called bestest buddy! Fare ye well, Mister Asterix!
[Asterix is shocked over Obelix defying him and leaves]
Vitalstatistix : Asterix, Asterix, don't be foolish! Come on! Please, Getafix, do something!
Getafix : Asterix is free to go. My quest is not over. And if you choose not to follow me, I will understand. And I will climb up the mountain without you.

Getafix : There you go... Beautiful. But this time, I dare you to tell me it's useless.

Getafix : What's this, Pectine? You don't look so happy?
Pectine : I just can't forget!
Getafix : Can't forget what?
Pectine : The formula for the potion! I've tried and I've tried but I just can't!
Getafix : Do you really try your best?
Pectine : Yes, I do! I know I'm not supposed to remember it, and I don't want to remember it, because it's much too dangerous. Only you should have that knowledge!
Getafix : Don't worry about it, Pectine. In due time, I can promise you that you'll end up forgetting.
Pectine : Sure?
Getafix : Quite.
Getafix : [Watches as Pectine runs off to play with the other kids] ... Then again...

Asterix : [Watches the village children playing, when he's joined by Obelix] This is a disaster, Obelix. Entrusting the potion to a rookie druid with zero experience? Who says he won't misuse its power? What if he reveals the formula? That'll be the end of the indomitable Gauls, simple as that!
Getafix : The end of the indomitable Gauls, simple as that?
[Obelix turns around, revealing he's carrying Getafix]
Getafix : See those kidlets playing over there? They are Gauls. We are holding out against the invader, are we not? And what about those childrens children? For them to be Gauls as well, they too will have to resist the invader. You're absolutely right, Asterix. My quest is a risky one. That's why the first warrior of the village must travel with me, to be sure I make no mistake in the choosing of this Rookie stranger of a druid with zero experience. It'll take at least the two of us.

Vitalstatistix : [Cholerix has just demonstrated his spell] I'm not an expert or anything, and sure, it's nice to look at, but... what's its use, exactly?
Getafix : It has none... It has no use at all!
Getafix : [gets up and approaches Cholerix] Young Cholerix, will you be my successor?
Cholerix : ...I will.

Demonix : I was confident you'd appreciate my alpine apprentice. Just the kind of limp-spirited peerage you favor. Too bad you didn't trust him in the end. Too much of a mountain billy-goat, was he?
Getafix : Too much like his master.
Demonix : He doesn't deserve to be your successor. Neither does anyone else, really. There's no one but me, Getafix, and you know it. Tell me the final ingredient and I'll spare everyone. The Gauls, the Romans. I'll even spare you.
Getafix : Demonix, I would rather disappear with my formula than give it to you.
Demonix : ...So be it.
