Movie quotes

  • (..) I don't know anything about the restaurant business. All I know is how to sit down and order a meal. Not for you. Just a place to hang. The chef is great. The shows are good. There is a lot of whores coming in. What do you want from me? Tommy is a bad seed. What am I supposed to do? Shoot him? (..)
