Movie quotes

  • (..) You're still under orders, Major. Now, you wanna make that call or should I? She's your baggage. You fall behind and you're on your own. This place is too hot for a pickup. They won't touch us till we get over the border. Billy. Give me a way out of this hole. Aerial says we are cut off. (..)
