Movie quotes

  • (..) Uh... We were thinking, uh, something like this, uh... We open on a young tomato. He's had some tough times down at the farm With, you know, a rabbit, and... No. No tomatoes... Too vulnerable. Kids, they're already vulnerable. No, you see? I... I told you guys. I told them the very same thing... And no farms. Every body's pushing small town rural. A farm book would just be white noise. What about this? Uh, a tribe of asparagus children, But they're self-conscious about the way their pee smells. (..)
