That's the first place I looked as well, but thought it might be possible that the quote was somewhere else in the book even though it was at the end in the movie.
Did a quick look through of the whole thing, can't see it there, the closest thing is the line "Friends come in and out of your life like busboys in a restaurant, did you ever notice that? " page 476 of the paperback.

The last line in the movie Stand By Me is one of the best movie lines EVER!. “I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?” I haven’t read The Body... Is that line, or something like it, in the book?
If the article is accurate ......
The ending quote of the film, "I never had any friends like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?" is such a perfect way to end the film. I'm not surprised it was King who wrote those words. The screenwriters lifted them from the middle of the novella and inserted them perfectly into the end of the script. Great choice, in my opinion.

Thanks, but now I can’t quiz the author? Are you and Ms Mod in cahoots? :)
