Movie quotes

  • (..) This dock is off limits to civilians. I'm terribly sorry. I didn't know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately. There's some sort of high-toned and fancy to-do up at the fort. How could it be two upstanding gentlemen such as yourselves did not merit an invitation? (..)
