Movie quotes

  • (..) - See you back at base. I wouldn't do that if I were you. What the hell did you do to me? What I did? What I did is to save your life. I removed all the shrapnel I could, but there's a lot left, and it's headed into your atrial septum. Here, want to see? I have a souvenir. Take a look. (..)
