Movie quotes

  • (..) - They are saying giants. Armed giants. Wolves to carry them. What are the other kingdoms? Are they suffering the same? All seek our protection yet not trust us enough to tell us anything. We know nothing about these so call monsters. Even a corpse can tell us something. (..)
