Movie quotes

  • (..) We asked if it still existed and they laughed, and said it was destroyed almost as soon as your father sailed away. But that they allowed some of the settlers to escape, so they would take the word to your father, as a warning. He never mentioned it. Ask him now. We don't know where Ragnar is. (..)
