Movie quotes

  • (..) I liked the mascara. But the first time I saw you was in the elevator. Really? You don't remember? I guess you do kind of blend in, huh? Did I scowl at you? No, you smiled. I did? Yes, it was a complete accident. A freak. I haven't seen it since. Just that one time. Like that, but bigger. (..)
