Movie quotes

  • (..) Got my eye on a nice little place in central London. We ought to be able to afford it. We'll meet there tomorrow evening, seven o'clock. Sorry, got to dash. I think I left my riding crop in the mortuary. Is that it? Is that what? We've only just met and we're going to go and look at a flat? (..)
