Movie quotes

  • (..) You know what I did. My brother and two cops are dead because of me. I'm not looking for a second chance. But I'm not the only one with a death sentence, am I? Do you think I'm gonna cure your cancer, Serena? I'm not worried about myself. I'm worried about the future of the human race. (..)
