Movie quotes

  • (..) They kiss for the first time at the dance. If there's no music, they can't dance. If they can't dance and kiss, then they can't fall in love and I'm history. The dance is over unless you know somebody that can play the guitar. MARVIN: LORRAINE: George, aren't you going to kiss me? I don't know. (..)
