Movie quotes

  • (..) if you're gonna start more shit around my baby girl. You can relax for now. I'm not gonna murder you in front of your child, okay? That's being more rational than Bill led me to believe you were capable of. It's mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality. (..)
