Dinosaurs (TV Series)

Swamp Music (1993)

Leif Tilden: Robbie Sinclair

Quotes 

• Robbie Sinclair : This is great, I don't understand why dinosaurs don't come down here in herds.

  Spike : Well as I recall, I practically had to drag *you* in by your tail.

• Robbie Sinclair : That's what I was about to tel you, Warner gave all the songs to Perry Llewellyn, he ripped us off.

  Sonny : You mean he ripped *us* off. Oh Pop, you were right, you can't get a fair shake from the Lizard. I'm never leaving the swamp again.

  Howlin' Jay : Hush up, I want to hear this.

  TV Announcer : Order your copy of Swamp Music today, due to excessive demand, estimated delivery is 6-8 weeks.

  Howlin' Jay : That guy's making a fortune with our music.

  Sonny : Yeah, we got shafted!

  Howlin' Jay : I know that, but you're missing the big picture. If he can get famous doing *that* to our music, just think what we could do by giving folks the real thing.

  Sonny : But you *can't* trust the Lizard, Pop.

  Howlin' Jay : Oh hush up about the Lizard. I spent my life moaning about what the Lizard done to me, and now I'm starting to hear the same things coming out of your mouth, and I don't like it.

  Sonny : But how're we gonna release our music? The Lizard will never give us a break.

  Howlin' Jay : Then we make our own breaks. There's no reason we can't cut our own records, and release them ourselves, a mammal owned record company!

• Spike : If you want to hear great music, you gotta come down to the swamp.

  Robbie Sinclair : The swamp? That's on the other side of the tracks, isn't it?

  Spike : Yeah, real dangerous. Your dad would never let you go.

  Robbie Sinclair : No problem, we'll just sneak out.

  Baby Sinclair : I'm telling!

  Spike : Difficult to do without a tongue.

  Earl Sinclair : [enters kitchen]  Telling what?

  Baby Sinclair : They're going to the swamp!

  [points to Spike] 

  Baby Sinclair : And he's gonna rip my tongue out!

  Earl Sinclair : Yeah?

  [to Spike] 

  Earl Sinclair : Well I'm with you on the tongue thing.

  Baby Sinclair : Hey!

• Robbie Sinclair : [Ty Warner won't hear the swamp tape]  You're making a mistake!

  Ty Warner : Oh yeah, I'm making a mistake!

  [jerks Robbie to see his gold records] 

  Ty Warner : I got a wall full of mistakes! Mistakes that bought me THREE houses.

• Spike : [Robbie wants to take the swamp mammals to a record company]  Bad idea, Scooter.

  Robbie Sinclair : Why?

  Spike : It's swamp music. You take it out of the swamp, it's no longer swamp music.

  Robbie Sinclair : But their lives are so horrible! At least if they made a record they could make some money.
