Movie quotes

  • (..) a hard-ass about it... I gotta disturb him. When he's into his music, he hates being disturbed. I'm telling you the truth. I hope so, because he's got a talent for sniffing out a lie. It's scary. It's almost like a sixth sense. Are you gonna change your tune or I gotta bust into his? (..)
