Movie quotes

  • (..) Whoa! Sorry, that happens in this motel. But it should be over soon. God! I never suspected he was married, although... I am slow to pickup on anything. You know, that is one of your sweetest qualities, you are very naive. Oh! Thank you. Guess you must have really loved him. He was very wonderful. (..)
