Movie quotes

  • (..) A year ago, it seems like... - Diz, terrible things are happening. - They're listening to him now. Just get up off the ground. Get up there with that lady on top of the Capitol dome, - - that lady that stands for liberty. Take a look at this country through her eyes. You won't just see scenery. (..)
    1939 Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
