Movie quotes

  • (..) I'm a jealous woman. I've always liked bad men and they've always liked me. They'd come home wherever home was that night stinking of some whore's perfume. So we'd fight and I'd put a hole in them. And then I'd feel terrible, so I'd patch them up. And good at putting holes in them. (..)
