Movie quotes

  • (..) - OK. Heavily armored skull and tail made for bashing and crushing! Steer clear of both. Small eyes, large nostrils! Relies on hearing and smell! OK, Lout, legs! Hang in its blind spot, make noise, keep it confused! Ruff, Tuff, find out if it has a shot limit! Make it mad! That's my specialty! (..)
