Movie quotes

  • (..) Forgive me, Ubbe. If I'd known, I would never have been so rude. Your father was a great hero. Perhaps the greatest hero of our race. And that is why we have answered your summons, and come to avenge his death. He was also like our father. That we have all lost a father. (..)
