Movie quotes

  • (..) You fool, move aside for your king. Haven't I always, brother? I thought you'd be rotting under some foreign sea by now. What is dead may never die. Has the custom changed since I've been gone? Aren't you supposed to repeat the words? You can mock our god without my help. (..)
