Movie quotes

  • (..) Lower your voice! Kurtzweil! You'd be shit out of luck if it wasn't for me. I put my ass on the line for you. I just got chased by two black helicopters! And why do you think you're here talking to me? These people don't make mistakes. What's wrong? Salt Lake City, Utah. (..)
