Movie quotes

  • (..) There'll be magic, There'll be fun. For the first time in forever, I could be noticed by someone. And I know it is totally crazy. To dream I'd find romance. But for the first time in forever, At least I've got a chance! Don't let them in. Don't let them see. Be the good girl You always have to be. (..)
