Movie quotes

  • (..) skirt person, but these.. These are very artistic, Barry. Just the kinda thing Hamptons' ladies would spend dollars on to wear once at a charity ball. Shut up! You know, I can't stay too long. This is just a visit. Well, tell me what's going on? What? You mean the email? It's just the usual thing. (..)
