Movie quotes

  • (..) I don't look like you. (WHISTLE BLOWS) You could look like me, though. If you dressed like me and shaved your hair off. I'm not shaving my hair off. - You could cover it with a cap. - My pyjamas are a different colour. I could bring some. There's a hut full of them, thousands of them. (..)
