Never has. And Never has.

Hello,
The following sentences are from a movie - The Grinch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grinch_(film)

What if Whoville (a village name) is not safe???
Nothing ever goes wrong in Whoville.
Never has.
And Never will


When I saw it, I guessed something was omitted.
So my guessing is as follows.

(Anything) Never has.
And (Anything) Never will.

Is is right?

Thanks.

Nothing has ever gone wrong and nothing will ever go wrong.

We use these reduced constructions fairly regularly.

Helen: Do you like asparagus?
John: No. I tried it once when I was seven and hated it.
Helen: Have you really never tried it again?
John: Nope! Never have and never will.

It's fine as is. Spoken English is different than written English.

So my guess[STRIKE]ing[/STRIKE] is as follows.

It never has.
And it never will.

Is is right?

Almost! See the corrections.

Thanks.

As Ems says, in spoken English, words are often understood, not stated.
