Movie quotes

  • (..) Our kind of fare. Pricey. Hey, there. This is Ganymede, cupbearer to Zeus. And when I'm out buying wine for the lord of the skies... Maybe we should have flown commercial. Look out! Calm down. If we didn't know what we were doing... We wouldn't be licensed. They don't have eyes. (..)
