Movie quotes

  • (..) Not to worry. Trust me. I may be a bit rusty, but I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself. I congratulate you, Chief, on your excellent facilities. Of course you understand that my visit here must be of the utmost secrecy? Of course. My department will do everything possible to assist you. (..)
