Quote context

[...]

- But instead of eating the leaves, they were merely gnawing through the stems, so that a thick green shower fell steadily to the ground.

- Well, it looks as if it's feeding time for our friends, eh?

- Going to deprive them of a meal? Aren't they cutting the leaves down for food?

- I wish they were.

Top rated lines from this movie

Yes, it was right that it should be like this. But now there was no more time for thought... only action.

All my life, I have lived with one creed: The human brain needs only to become fully aware of its powers to conquer even the elements.

Critical situations only become crises when oxen and women get excited. -I see.

You don't know these ants! I tell you, you don't know these ants!

Ten miles long, two miles wide... ants, nothing but ants! And each one as big as your thumb and each of them a fiend from hell.
