Movie quotes

  • (..) ...than "being". Lucy. what did you do with my stomach? Nothing! Just a little horizontal slit. It's very well done and you'll find in a month, this scar is practically invisible. You'll be in shape for the beach next summer. I don't care about the scar. Is it, uh...is it why we opened you up? (..)
