Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit Quotes

  • Lady Tottington: [over the phone] It's a disaster. I have the most terrible rabbit problem. The competition's only days away. You simply have to do something.

  • Lord Victor Quartermaine: You can hop, but you can't hide!

    [Lowers the Mind Manipulation-omatic onto his head]
