Quotes / Mucking in the Mud

Major Zero: Snake, be careful of that swamp.

Snake: What's dangerous about it?

Major Zero:: It's a bottomless swamp.

Snake: A bottomless swamp?

Major Zero:: Yes. The mud in that swamp is highly viscous. It will stick to your body like tar. It will be impossible for you to swim. If you get swallowed by the bottomless swamp, you won't be able to escape on your own. Once you sink down to about head-level, you'll be trapped for good. Make sure you get out before that happens.
