I thought this one would not be so obscure. Sorry about that.

It’s from a film that’s in English, except for that line, and is early in the film.

OK, I really did make this too obscure. The film is Jurassic Park. The line in Spanish means “How beautiful it is” and is made when a large piece of amber, with an insect embedded in it, is found.

I’ll try again.

It’s been four days. Since nobody has come back to the one above I’ll answer it, and **not** put in another quote. That way someone else can start this going again, if there’s any interest.

The above is from _Gone With the Wind_.
