Movie quotes

  • (..) Lara, by now I'm sure you will have discovered the clock I concealed. The clock is the key, Lara. It will unlock the hiding place of two pieces of a sacred icon. This is the magical triangle I told you about when you were a girl - The Triangle Of Light. But it is no bedtime story. (..)
