Movie quotes

  • (..) Ballsy and incipient. Boneheaded, irresponsible. RUDE! Unprofessional, that's what this is. Would Metro Man have kept me waiting? Of course not, he was a pro. Hey, Megamind. You're actually the guy I want to see. Also, there's a door here. Do you have any idea how long I waited for you? (..)
