Movie quotes

  • (..) The murderer... You think the murderer has the phone? Maybe she...left it when she left her case. Maybe he took it from her for some reason. Either way, the balance of probability is the murderer has her phone. Sorry...what are we doing? Did I just text a murderer? What good will that do? (..)
