Movie quotes

  • (..) - Look around. The city has come back to life. - You made a pact with fanatics. - I did and it worked. If you shaved your beard with a straight razor, you'd say the razor worked. That doesn't mean it won't cut your throat. Spoken like a man who has never had to shave. I'm going to miss you. (..)
