Movie quotes

  • (..) "Making Sense of Senseless Killings" by Lois Lane. We get psychologists, sociologists, interviews.... Lois, you're pushing a bunch of rinky-dink tabloid garbage. The Daily Planet has a tradition.... Oh, l'm sorry, l'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shake it up like that. Of course not, Lois. (..)
