Movie Quote Quiz

Lord Asriel: I wouldn't recommend the Tokay, gentlemen, it's corked.

Marisa Coulter: Come with me, Lyra.
Lyra Belacqua: I'm not yours! I'll never be yours.

Lyra Belacqua: Are you gettin' scared, Pan?
Pantalaimon: Scared? A little.
Lyra Belacqua: It's all bigger and scarier than we ever thought.
Pantalaimon: Maybe we shouldn't be doing this.
Lyra Belacqua: But we've got to though, ain't we - go on I mean.

Plot hole: During the climatic battle in the snow, Lyra Belacqua is about to get shot by one of the soldiers, and Iorek Byrnison comes to her rescue and is able to surprise & kill the soldier. The problems with this is where Iorek appears would have been right in the line of sight of the solider, and bearing in mind that Iorek is VERY big, wearing armour so as not to blend in with the white surroundings, and making lots of noise, it would have been impossible for Iorek to stealthily appear from nowhere.
