->'''Tucker:''' See? He knows something about the sword. So it’d be stupid to kill him until we at least know what he wants to use the sword for, right? I mean, how else is a journey for a chosen one supposed to start? He’s like our [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum]].\\

'''[[{{Adorkable}} Allen Gamble]]:''' Okay, first off, ''a lion, swimming in the ocean''? [[CatsHateWater Lions don't like water]]. If you'd placed it near a river or some sort of fresh water source, that'd make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, 20 foot waves, I'm assuming it's off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full-grown, 800-pound tuna with his twenty or thirty friends? You lose that battle. You lose that battle nine times out of ten. [[SidetrackedByTheAnalogy And guess what]]? You've wandered into our school of tuna, and we now have a taste of lion. We've talked to ourselves. We've communicated.\\
