Movie quotes

  • (..) Most of my life, you've either manipulated or humiliated me. You used me... to fulfill your ambition, while at the same time taking my wife as your mistress and forcing me to adopt her bastard son! Please, tell me... What kind of a father are you? You're not behaving like a king anymore. (..)
