Movie quotes

  • (..) I'm your landlady, dear, not your housekeeper. Something cold will do. John, have a cup of tea, make yourself at home. Don't wait up! Look at him, dashing about... My husband was just the same. But you're more the sitting-down type, I can tell. I'll make you that cuppa, you rest your leg. (..)
