Movie quotes

  • (..) Cos I'd think it was too difficult a task? You'd be right. I didn't trust you. I'm sorry. Our scars protect us. Without beauty we are worthless to the queen. It's a sacrifice we made, so we could raise our children in peace. While their fathers are at war. And you, your sacrifice will come. (..)
