Eli Marienthal

"You are who you choose to be."

"If you make a scene, my mom won't let me keep him."

"It's about 50 or 60 feet high and it only eats metal."

"Hey, big metal guy, I got food here for you!"

"So I guess you're not gonna hurt me, huh?"

"Hmm, maybe it's that bump from your head."

"Wow, my own giant robot, I am now the luckiest kid in America!"

"This is the greatest discovery since, I don't know, television or something."

"People will always wig out and start shooting when they see something big like you."

"That's the kind of stuff that makes them shoot at you."

"So, we can't call Ripley's Believe It or Not!"
