Movie quotes

  • (..) I won't leave you miss. We used to have pride. And now we just pilfer, drink and dream about when we didn't. Every man here would die for the chance of becoming that man again. So we follow you princess, in life and in death, and we shall have our pride again. On Gus's sword, this I swear. (..)
