Movie quotes

  • (..) You don't even work there. But as far as the records are concerned, you do. I call Matthews and tell him he's got a new guy, boom, you're on the rotation. You get a time card. It's clocked in and out for you every day. At the end of the week you get a nice paycheck. Dockworkers do very well. (..)
