Movie quotes

  • (..) Can you just stay focused here? Yes of course, you're right, focused. HEY! Come over and look at this. What is it? Um..... look! This glass has ice cubes in it. Yes, that's what happens when water gets cold. No, what I'm saying is, don't you think it's a little odd that the ice hasn't melted yet? (..)
