Movie quotes

  • (..) That's fucked up. That ain't my fault. It would appear that waitresses are one of the many groups... the government fucks in the ass on a regular basis. Show me a paper that says the government shouldn't do that, I'll sign it. I'll vote for it. But what I won't do is play ball. (..)
