Quotes
-
Jo Biddle : Sir, the Still sighting was here, the 2 teenagers disappeared here, Simpsons place is here. And the most recent attack of, uh... was here.
Nick Hashimoto : Ok. And that's all the attacks that you know about.
Jo Biddle : Yeah that we know about.
Nick Hashimoto : Hmm. Well, it's pretty clear that he's marked out his territory.
Sheriff Ben Lowry : That's a pretty large area, my friend.
Nick Hashimoto : He's a pretty large snake. Dr. Burns, how did you manage to cross an African King Cobra with an Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake?
Dr. Irwin Burns : Gene-splicing.
Nick Hashimoto : Gene-splicing. Interesting. Why would anyone want to combine two of the most deadly species of poisonous snakes?
Dr. Irwin Burns : We wanted the most aggressive animals possible for testing.
Nick Hashimoto : Fascinating.
Dr. Irwin Burns : Foolish.
Mayor Ed Biddle : So how do we get rid of it?
Nick Hashimoto : Well, first we have to find it, of course. I want to make sure that we all know and respect exactly what we're dealing with here.
Deputy Bud Fuller : Respect?
Nick Hashimoto : Yeah. Um, you see, in order to overcome a deadly opponent, you have to learn to think like it.
Deputy Bud Fuller : I hate snakes.
Nick Hashimoto : All right. Consider deputy Fuller, snakes kill in one year more people than sharks kill in a 100 years, hmm? They are responsible for more deaths then all the other dangerous animals in the world combined. Now that is a power you have to learn to respect just a little bit. Let's consider 'Ophiophagus Hannah' oh, the African King Cobra. Its venom, a tablespoon, even dried, can kill 165 people or 165,000 mice. Oh, and then there is 'Viboras De Cascabeles' spanish for Rattlesnake. Rattlesnake can strike at 10 ft. per second. It has the most highly developed fangs of all the venomous snakes. Now, my whole point is as if nature wasn't good enough, and thanks to science, we now have here a specimen with all these beautiful traits. Ha ha.
