Movie quotes

  • (..) while the robbery was going on. Remember the Mary Ann Gifford kidnapping? lt's that bunch of nuts. She's in the movie shooting off machine guns. This is really terrific footage. We can get a movie of the week out of it, maybe even a series. A series? What are we talking about? (..)
