Movie quotes

  • (..) Please, tell me what you saw. Well, I didn't see anything. I was passing by the locker room. It was late, past time anyone should be there. I heard movement on the other side of the locker-room door. I heard Bizu say: "Oh, it's you." And then there was gunfire. Ponton, go to your databases. (..)
