A scene from The Wild 2006
Samson
[first lines]

So there I was, face to face with the biggest, meanest leopard on this side of the Serengeti, and...

Ryan

You roared so loud, his spots flew clean off. Dad, I've heard this like a billion times.

Samson

Uh, do you know the one where I made the laughing hyenas...

Ryan

Cry? Yep.

Samson

The croc attack?

Ryan

Dad.

Samson

Okay, think.

Ryan

Yeah, you do that.

Samson

All right, Mr. Smart Guy. Here's one I know you haven't heard. It all started in the little place I like to call... The Wild.

Ryan

So, what did you do next?

Samson

What did I do?

Ryan

Yeah.

Samson

That's when I gave them the roar.

Ryan

That's it?

Samson

Hold on a sec. I only thought it was over. But they had the secret weapon. He was the largest wildebeest I've ever seen. He was 14 feet tall!

Ryan

Fourteen?

Samson

I meant 1,401 feet tall!

Ryan

Cool.

Samson

And he had two... No, four of the largest horns I'd ever seen. This breath was red hot! I mean, green. And he hated the environment. To pull this off, I knew I was gonna have to dig deep, deeper than I ever had before. So I swallowed my fear, sucked in the largest breath I could.

Ryan

Dad, I'm ready!

Samson

You got it?

Ryan

I got it! I got it!

Samson

Well, let him have it! Roar, son!
