Movie quotes

  • (..) I just didn't realize it would hurt sometimes. Why do you put up with my crap? You look so pretty in that dress. And I'll make you another one soon. What'd you decide about the snow? Well, I'd like to push on, if it's possible. Well, Ed told me a lot of the hikers went up the PCT (..)

  • (..) At this rate, you'll be finished in about years. I'm not hungry. I don't miss food. I don't miss tacos, chips and guac. I don't miss Minneapolis snow, that's for sure. I don't miss margaritas. I'd kill a snake for a sip. It's not like I'm some junkie. I'm in control. (..)
