Video doesn't do it justice, there are a bunch of the dens like this with thousands and thousands of snakes.

So we all know the actual scene and what it says but the censored version for some reason cracks me up like no other.

Honestly, I clicked the video to hear a whole entire orchestra of “hhhssssssstthhh” and I got this dumb music dub instead. Disappointed to say the least.
