Movie quotes

  • (..) Are you hungry?! Starved! No, no, no! No, don't you dare! I could use a Melanie sandwich! Just seems like old times, doesn't it? Get off me! Ugh! No, not like old times, all right? Times have changed. No more Melanie sandwich, no more Melanie taco, and no more Melanie corn dog, all right? ...Sure... sorry. ...Just playin' with you. (..)
