Movie quotes

  • (..) - She's fine. She's with five agents. They're about to arrest Obadiah. That's not going to be enough. Section . Section . There it is. My key's not working. It's not opening the door. Oh, wow! What's that? It's, like, a little device? It's, like, a thing that's going to pick the lock? (..)

  • (..) you know that I would help you with anything, but I cannot help you if you're going to start all of this again. There is nothing except this. There's no art opening. There is no benefit. There is nothing to sign. There is the next mission and nothing else. Is that so? (..)
