Movie quotes

  • (..) He's a liar. I don't dance. Isn't he a charmer, though? Truth is, not only can he dance, but he'll sing you a hell of a tune. He can do bird calls and imitate Bela Lugosi. Hi, honey. -Hi. -Hey. Michael, this is Frank and this is Charlie. Hi, Frank, Charlie. Sorry I'm late. (..)
