Movie quotes

  • (..) ¥Ó¥ë Biru? I can't tell the difference. We'll have two of these, okay? To your nearest exit...and leave the building. Await instructions from the authorities. That was the worst lunch. So bad. What kind of restaurant makes you cook your own food? When are you leaving? Tomorrow. (..)
