Movie quotes

  • (..) Yes. There's not much in it, just a few things. My woman's dead. I'm just trying to sell the furniture. It's a beautiful bed, if you can get the bugs out of it. (bomb dropping) Interested in old prints at all? The frame's fixed to the wall but I could unscrew it. How did this escape? (..)
