Movie quotes

  • (..) He was four years old. He never used to cry. He just used to sit next to me and cuddle. I was more of a mother to him than that goddamned pig ever was. Don't talk like that about pigs. They're usually nicer than people. But they smell like shit. Not true. As a matter of fact, right now I have one in my kitchen... that's very clean... - and smells very nice. - You don't have a pig in your kitchen. Yes, I do. I was just in there, and I didn't see any goddamned pig. Don't move. I'll get him. (..)
