Movie quotes

  • (..) What are you doing here? I wanted to make sure that you got together aII right. That's nice. I hardIy ever stop by here. It's hard to beIieve it was... a garbage heap. It's reaIIy beautifuI right around sunset. The methane emissions reaIIy pick up the coIors. AII those... pinks and greens. (..)
