Movie quotes

  • (..) It's camouflage. I'm the world's most dangerous predator. Everything about me invites you in, my voice, my face, even my smell. As if I would need any of that. As if you could outrun me! As if you could fight me off. I'm designed to kill. I don't care. I've killed people before. It does not matter. (..)
