Movie quotes

  • (..) You jump off a bridge. Leap out a window. You just make up your mind to do it and you do it. MESSINGER: You wake up all smelly, and aching from head to toe... and hungrier than you've ever been... only you have no idea what hunger is or any of that stuff... so it's all real confusing (..)
