Movie quotes

  • (..) I warned you this would be difficult. It's harder than I thought to not get an erection. You can get through this, son. Just put your mind to it. I literally think about sex times a day. Have to find other things to focus on. Like what? Hairy balls can work. Or your grandmother naked. (..)
