Movie quotes

  • (..) Are you sure you can trust her? I don't want you getting hurt. She's my sister, She would never hurt me. The Snow glows white on the mountain tonight, Not a footprint to be seen. A kingdom of isolation. And it looks like I'm the Queen. The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside. (..)
