Movie quotes

  • (..) I gotta finish this. There's one more thing. Ceremony. It's the final stage of becoming a man. If I do it, I'm one of them. And they'll trust me. And I can negotiate the terms of their relocation. Well, then, you'd better get it done, Corporal. The Na 'vi say that every person is born twice. (..)
