Wait a minute, first a giraffe, now a zebra? Something phony about this. Either they escaped from the zoo and are running wild in my neighborhood or I must be having a strange dream? (shakes his head, no) Nah! [moves on, then picks up a broken stick to throw to something coming]] I'll be ready for this in case something comes... [the one turns out to be a large glyptodont coming out of nowhere, causing him to freeze and drop the stick in shock] (gibberish) Large armadillos as big as a car?! We thought they had died out long ago! Is this some kind of a joke?!

(Luckily, the main characters of the movie Rachelle, Toby, Angela, and Genelle all have 3M 7500 cartridge half-face gas masks (each one with olive P100 multi-gas cartridges) worn over half their faces to avoid smelling trouble while capturing him.)
