Movie quotes

  • (..) That's because God put 'em here for us to fear. We knew to be afraid of snakes long before we ever even got into this world. The Cherokee would wrap their pregnant women's bellies in snake skin. Induce labor, scare the child out. Put that around your bed at night. Snake won't cross a braided rope. (..)
