Movie quotes

  • (..) You got it from Ping Wu? I'm sure he took quite a liking to you. As long as you didn't have to put your golden lotus in his mouth to pay for it. Could you grab that lamp and matches? And light the lamp for me. Just hold that over the flame. Am I doing it right? Just hold it over here. (..)
