Movie quotes

  • (..) Sorry. Used your gag. Money from Mr. Chairman. Thank you. I can develop a new project. You're very sharp. You noticed that. That robot performed well at the Gulf. Want to see its performance? Here it comes. Look! Look at that! It's super. It's just great! The robot might seem bigger than it actually is. Don't be ridiculous. Actually, there's something else I want you to see. Let's go. This way. (..)
