Movie quotes

  • (..) So I can't get in there without you and you you can't get out of here without me. What've you done? Someone pulled an alarm in the iso unit... Get a containment team in there now! You can't possibly know what I want. You submitted the design for the grid and they stole it and now you want it back. (..)
