Movie quotes

  • (..) - It must be over there. - You know, the first time I saw you, you were wearing a tuxedo at the bar. You were very dashing. I liked the mascara. But the first time I saw you was in the elevator. Really? You don't remember? I guess you do kind of blend in, huh? Did I scowl at you? (..)
