Movie quotes

  • (..) Will we still go out to dinner, and movies... That's not really my thing. Try to keep an open mind. If you agree to be my submissive, I will be devoted to you. This is what I want. And I want it with you. Why do I have to sleep in here? We slept in the same bed last night. Like normal people. (..)
