Movie quotes

  • (..) no funny books, Mama. Our bodies come and go, but this blood is forever. I'm gonna remove your gag, but if you make so much as a fucking peep I'm gonna cut you like a pig and make you eat your own fucking intestines. You got me? Why are you doing this to me? - Why are you doing this? (..)
