Movie quotes

  • (..) We leave now. Right now. Hang on! We like to go fast! I like fast! Whoa, whoa! Get your feet down. This is fresh lacquer. Seriously, were you raised in a barn? Ew. No, I was raised in a castle. So tell me, what made the Queen go all ice-crazy? Oh well, it was all my fault. (..)
