Movie quotes

  • (..) I hear you loud and clear. You're sayin' ho's before bro's. Well, that's not how I roll, asshole. JB, it's KG. Do you read me? What do you want, non-rocker? This line is reserved for rockers only... so I can't really talk to you right now. Sex, drugs, and then rock & roll. In that order. (..)
