Movie quotes

  • (..) This is claustrophobic! No, no, no! Too small! This is too small for me! I hate that guy! ...and please watch over us, and bless that we'll have a good night's sleep. And bless that while we're sleeping, no bugs will crawl into our ears and lay eggs in our brains. Great. Thanks for that image, Edith. And please bless that someone will adopt us soon, and that the mommy and daddy will be nice and have a pet unicorn. Amen. (..)
