Movie quotes

  • (..) Does this sound fancy to you? Nah, just sounds like gold clinking up against crystal. What? Those are two of the most expensive things! Relax, dude, it's not a competition. I just got something from the "lost and found" bin at work. I don't want people spending money they might not have tomorrow. (..)
