Movie quotes

  • (..) Right before it burns off, it really is beautiful. I like Jamie. And she's pretty, too. Hey, easy, dude. Don't you go casting a spell on her. I'm a magician, not a wizard. You and your gay Harry Potter. You can't deny that going to Hogwarts wouldn't be life-changing. - I miss you. (..)
