Movie quotes

  • (..) Sir Charles Litton is the Phantom. Did you enjoy your food? Oh, yes. Very nice. You probably guessed I've got a passion for the Oriental food, huh? Cato usually does some cooking for me, but recently he has taken to attacking me at every chance. It's very bad for the digestion. (..)
