Movie quotes

  • (..) Poor little bubble boy. He's sitting there waiting for you in his bubble or igloo thing, whatever. I don't know what to do. I don't know where I am. Just get off at this exit. We'll figure something out. We lost them. Do you know that? We lost them. Well, it's not my fault. Seinfeld can't drive. (..)
