Movie quotes

  • (..) It was quite a storm we had. It was right in the middle of a game. We were behind-seven to six. We'd just started to move the ball, made a tackle. It was gonna cut right in, slash through, slashed right in, cut right through... And... We had this kid - Slattery. He was an ox. A real ox. (..)
