Movie quotes

  • (..) we're gonna lose so much before this is over. I'd rather have that moment and lose it than die never having had it at all. You say that now. But it's the losing that haunts us. This can't happen. You know why I left this place? 'Cause I hated everything about it. Couldn't stand the sight of it. (..)
