Movie quotes

  • (..) It must have been possible to outflank them in some way. I have an instinct. There's bad news on the way. I told them all about you. I'm only thankful they got me before it was too late. Yes, I told them about you too. Thoughtcrime. Sexcrime, all your treachery. I have a meeting to go to. (..)
