Movie quotes

  • (..) Told you! We should have taken that job with Hercules. They're an acquired taste. Luke. I don't know what to do about him. I've tried reaching out, but the kid's angry. He's resentful. And he holds a grudge like nobody's business. Just like his mother, come to think of it. (..)
