Movie quotes

  • (..) It is working again. I have the Eagle Foundation doing a tango up my Hershey Highway! I do not care about your highway. And stop shouting. I am not deaf! You shout because it is in the script. You are the comic relief. And do you know what? I am the hero. So shut up!! Hollywood writes our lives. (..)
