Movie quotes

  • (..) If she sees him we are dead in the water. What do you want to do? Bring Ms. Murphy up here. Yes, sir. Norton said that they may be using drones for protection. So, what ever you do, do not draw your weapons. They won't shoot if we're unarmed. Clear? Clear! Hold it right there! (..)
