Movie quotes

  • (..) They're never gonna leave Hometree. So, since a deal can't be made, I guess things get real simple. Jake, thanks. I'm getting all emotional. I might just give you a big wet kiss. I'll do it with minimal casualties to the indigenous. I'll drive them out with gas first. It'll be humane. More or less. (..)
