Movie quotes

  • (..) soft-headed groupies. Lights out! That's when I learned a very hard lesson. Good receives all the praise, adulation. While evil is sent to quiet time in the corner. So a fitting end wasn't really an option. While they were learning the itsy bitsy spider. I learned how to dehydrate animate objects. (..)
