Movie quotes

  • (..) I had this fantasy... that I would look across the tables... and I'd see you there, with a... wife. Maybe, uh, a couple o' kids. You wouldn't say anything to me, nor me to you. But we'd both know... that you'd made it. That you were happy. I never wanted you... to come back to Gotham. (..)
