Movie quotes

  • (..) I also do not advise you to fill out and file a WS form with our legal department on the second floor. I wouldn't expect someone to get back to you quickly to resolve the matter. I'd like to help, but there's nothing I can do. - Oh, thank you, young man. - Sorry. I know you're upset! (..)
