Movie quotes

  • (..) That's it. Come on, coming down. I want them all down. Carry them across the ladders. Come on, let's hustle! All right, now slide them into the slots over there. We place the clock here at the exact moment of alignment. Come on, let's go, move it! Too slow, ladies, too slow. Come on! (..)
