Movie quotes

  • (..) I've had to fight our kind before. - They're not easy to kill. - But not impossible. We'll tear them apart and burn the pieces. I don't relish the thought of killing another creature, even a sadistic one like James. - What if he kills one of us first? - I'm gonna run Bella south. (..)
