Movie quotes

  • (..) Where the hell did my new mousse go? We're gonna have so much fun, baby girl. The skies aren't smoggy there, so you get to see real stars. Not the fuzzy invisible LA stars. And you get to play with Spencer, smell your first campfire. Shall we bring your baby Deadhead onesie, or is that too obvious? (..)
