Movie quotes

  • (..) I do not need to know that. Are you holding back your fondness. Due to his unmanly blondeness? Or the way he covers up that he's the honest goods? He's just a bit of a fixer upper. He's got a couple a' bugs. No, I don't. His isolation is confirmation of his desperation for healing hugs. (..)
