Movie quotes

  • (..) Not that it matters. You come and go as you please. Always have and always will. You caught me a bit unprepared. We've only got cold chicken and a bit of pickle.... There's some cheese here. No,that won't do. We've got raspberry jam,an apple tart.... But not much for afters. Oh,no,we're all right. (..)
