Movie quotes

  • (..) surely know... ...I no longer make instruments of death. What I have here... ...I keep for their aesthetic and sentimental value. Yet proud as I am of my life's work... ...I have retired. Then give me one of these. These are not for sale. I didn't say "sell me." I said "give me." (..)
