HILARIOUS SPECIAL EFFECT MOMENTS
QUOTES
Maeve: I only wish
my magic could conjure days like these.
Sinbad: It’s a
day like this you wish would stretch out, sweet and long, without a single
interruption. {enter interruption}
Firouz:
Euphemistically it’s called ‘getting the wind knocked out of you.’ I assure you
it’s a passing condition. {falls as he gets his legs swept out from
underneath him} Now that was completely uncalled for!
Archer: So, what
brings you to the edge of the valley of the Colossus?
Sinbad: Would you believe we’re lost?
Firouz: I
thought I found a shortcut to the Harbor of Night—turned out it was an earthworm
lying on the map.
Sinbad: Okay,
let’s… dance!{they begin dodging arrows}
Doubar: You
know, I don’t dance as well as you two.
Maeve: Ugh, it
certainly smells powerful.
Firouz: Reminds
me of the time I spent downwind of a dying yak.
Doubar: If we make
a run for it, we’ll be right out in the open.
Sinbad: We’ll
have to chance it.
Doubar: I hate
it when you put it that way.
Sinbad: Come on,
you love a good risk, and you know it.
Sinbad: What do we
need to know about this Colossus?
Maeve: If it
comes to life, we’re as good as dead.
Doubar: Can you
say anything a little more encouraging?
Maeve: We’ll
probably die quickly.
Doubar: That thing
isn’t going to let us sit here forever.
Firouz: Maybe
we can talk to it.
Doubar: Right.
It just wants to give us some bread and berries and make us feel welcome.
Sinbad: Hey,
Stony—over here! Yeah! Come and get me, you—you unemployed rock pile! Come on!
Yeah!
Maeve: It’s hard to
make out the words—I’m starting over.
Doubar: We
haven’t got time for repeats!
Maeve: Ahh! What
do you want me to do? You can’t just point your finger at the thing and yell,
“stop!” and it stops! {the creature stops}
Sinbad: Nice
work!
Maeve: Oh. Oh,
maybe you can.
Doubar: Turhan’s
not gonna let us just saunter in and take her.
Sinbad: How many
men did you count? {Rongar uses his hands to
signal twenty} Twenty. Turhan’s keeping his
ranks light.
Doubar: Only
twenty? This job gets easier and easier.
Firouz: Isn’t this
where you’re supposed to say, “I have a plan”?
Sinbad: Never
doubt the captain.
Firouz: I
wasn’t doubting, I was—happily anticipating.
Doubar: Firouz, is
that lizard as poisonous as he made out?
Firouz: Do you
want me to answer that?
Doubar: Not
anymore.
Firouz: Let’s
be optimistic… reptiles prefer the heat of day to become active.
Doubar: I just
love it when you foretell the future Firouz. Maeve… if you could change that
thing into, say, a harmless little centipede… now would be the excellent moment.
Maeve: Oh,
Doubar… I hate to tell you this, but… my hands are tied.
Firouz: Maybe
if we all… blow at it…
Doubar: Thank
you, Mr. Science. What the heck {they all start blowing at it}
Sinbad: The minute
I leave you alone, look what happens.
Doubar: Little
brother, your timing is worthy of note.
Sinbad: Maeve! Try
to lock up one of the big guy’s knees!
Maeve: What?!
Sinbad: Try
it! {she begins attacking it, and hits its arm} Nice miss, Maeve.
Maeve: What a
blow-hard.
Doubar: Bellow
of Bellamur—his famous war-cry, I almost forgot.
Firouz: It’s
simply that sound travels in a valley.
Sinbad: I think
it’s time we restored a little peace to this valley.
Bellamur: Today you
die.
Sinbad: Not the
first time I’ve heard that before.
Sinbad:
At least maybe now you’ll slow your outlaw ways for awhile.
Turhan: Forever. I’ve decided to settle down. Start
a family. Maybe you should try the same sometime. {Sinbad’s crew starts to
laugh}
Sinbad: Maybe {looking at Maeve} some
time. {they laugh harder}
Maeve: Oh, get
real, guys.
Sinbad: Come on,
don’t you guys have anything better to do?
Doubar: Well, I
guess we could get in the long boat, and head back to the ship.
Sinbad: That’ll
do for a start {starts pushing the boat, only to realize he’s the only one
pushing} Let’s go guys. {laughing again as they head out}
Jial: They do
make a handsome couple.
