Movie quotes

  • (..) And he has asked me to run it. I do not know anything about it, but Ben's a great guy. And I'm a quick learner. And at a night club isn't like working in a drab office. And even if you had a boyfriend, you always had feelings for me underneath. You have. We'd make a great team in New York. Yeah. (..)
