Movie quotes

  • (..) (SIGHS) I'm scared. They're your family. They're going to love you. I'll be right here. Oh, oh! Give me your camera. I'd love to capture this family moment. Okay, camera rolling and action. Yup. Okay. Ring the doorbell. I don't hear a doorbell ringing. You're right. Let's take our time. (..)
