Movie quotes

  • (..) First I'd get up and fight with Naomi about whatever is I did the night before, Next was a steam so I could sweat out the drugs that still in my system.. Then I assess the damage. Drowned out my eyeball, take my back pill to get the day started, Then seek to make up with Naomi. Good morning daddy. (..)
