Movie quotes

  • (..) But I just paid it off. Uh-oh. No, no, no. Grab on! Pull, Sven! Pull! I'll replace your sled and everything in it. And I understand if you don't want to help me anymore. Of course I don't want to help her anymore. In fact, this whole thing has ruined me. For helping anyone ever again. (..)
