Movie quotes

  • (..) touch us till we get over the border. Billy. Give me a way out of this hole. Aerial says we are cut off. The only way outta here is that valley that leads to the east. I wouldn't waste that on a broke-dick dog. Not much choice. Poncho, take lead. Double-time it. Dillon. Over here. (..)
