Movie quotes

  • (..) I think that's my brother's girlfriend, Fran. I don't want her to recognize me. Does she have a scar on her left cheek? Maybe. What's the shape of the scar? - Just a general slash shape. - Oh, darn. I've been reading a lot of "Harry Potter" lately, and I was hoping for something more fun. (..)
