Movie quotes

  • (..) Full of three perps is the three-perp perp cell. Okay, stop saying "perps" and "cell" and "three." You sound irritated. What's the score now? Are you guys still ahead? Let me just check. Oh, drone! Little help? Yeah, I can't read that score. What does it say? Anyway, I'm sure you're tracking whatever the score is. All right, thank you, drone. That'll be all. Whoop!
