Movie quotes

  • (..) Is Davina's ass watertight? You're fucking sick, man. All right, relax. Let me ask you a few questions. I'm not in the mood. I got homework to do. Tell me some of the shit you've learned, fuck-ass, before I pistol-whip you. Okay. I believe in death, destruction, chaos, filth and greed. (..)
