Movie quotes

  • (..) How about "Green Meanie"? Spiderman wasn't attacking the city he was trying to save it. That's slander. It is not. I resent that. Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel. You don't trust anybody, that's your problem. I trust my barber. What are you his lawyer? Get out of here! (..)
