Movie quotes

  • (..) They'll send one to the New York Times and one to the LA Times. Look. The people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals. We haul your trash. We connect your calls. We drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not fuck with us. Ball check! (..)
