Stone vs. Bronze. A Battle for the Ages.taglines

Dug

• You know we always hunt rabbits? Couldn't we try hunting something bigger?
• We challenge the champions!
• If we play this game and beat them at it, we can have our valley back.
• If we win, you leave my tribe in peace.

Lord Nooth

• The age of stone is over, you know. Long live the age of bronze.
• You're losers, caveman. Always have been, always will be.
• Take him away and kill him... slowly. [Guards start walking away with Dug really slowly] No! I meant take him away at normal speed and kill him slowly! Idiots!
• It turns out your tribe were totally crap at football.

Goona

• Where have you been, the Stone Age?
• We May stand a chance. A small chance.
• You’re pretty brave, caveman, and stupid. Actually, more stupid than brave really.

Chief Bobnar

• A rabbit!
• To The Badlands!
• How are we going to get our valley back?
• Look at the sort of tribe we are. We’re a rabbit hunting tribe and it’s served us very well up till now.
• I'm an old man. I'm almost thirty-two!
