Movie quotes

  • (..) I didn't order a taxi. Doesn't mean you don't need one. You're the cabbie. The one who stopped outside Northumberland Street. It was you. Not your passenger. See? No-one ever thinks about the cabbie. It's like you're invisible. Just the back of an 'ead. Proper advantage for a serial killer. (..)
