Movie quotes

  • (..) I thought as much. Lugash Airways announce the arrival... of Flight from Paris and Nice. Passengers wishing to travel to the city terminal by bus... should proceed to the Lugash Transport Council. The nature of your visit to Lugash, Dr. Tanney, is it business or pleasure? Purely pleasure. Next? Incoming passengers are reminded... they should retain the white card, as this must be surrendered to Lugash authorities before departure. (..)
