Movie quotes

  • (..) Tell me you're joking. This is cool. Let's go. Don't. I got this. So you just figured you'd come out here, to the most hostile environment known to man, with no training of any kind, and see how it went? What was going through your head? Maybe I was sick of doctors telling me what I couldn't do. (..)
