Movie quotes

  • (..) Page! Barker, that is not your boyfriend's dick, do not come early. Bar Five Six and.. Stop! Now this one really upsets me. We have an out-of-tone player here. Before I continue, would that player care to identify himself? No? Ok, maybe a bug flew in my ear. Five Six and.. No, my ears are fine, we definitely have an out-of-tone player. Whoever it is, this is your last chance. And there it went. Now either you are deliberately playing out-of-tone and sabotaging my band Or you don't know you are out-of-tone which I'm afraid is even worse. (..)
