Movie quotes

  • (..) I can barely remember my old life. I don't know who I am anymore. Haven't gotten lost in the woods, have you? Your last report was more than two weeks ago. I'm starting to doubt your resolve! The way I see it, it's time to terminate the mission. No, I can do this. You already have. (..)
