Movie quotes

  • (..) All l'm asking for is a normal amount of perspective. You're right. Of course, you're right. lt's just that l've dealt with this garbage for ten years. You've had it for ten minutes. Our perspectives are very different. Today's newspapers will be lining tomorrow's wastepaper bin. - Excuse me ? (..)
