Movie quotes

  • (..) Caviar? What, are we inviting the czar? Get some cheese and crackers, some of those little cocktail weenies. I got a garbage man here says he's got something you might want to see. If you have an extraterrestrial's head in there, you're the third guy this week. Where the hell did you get that? In the garbage. In the garbage? He mus've given up. Thrown in the towel. Abandoned his sad little masquerade. I finally got to him. (..)
