Movie quotes

  • (..) Your tab's run up higher than a thief's pulse in church. No, I don't believe it has. In fact, Maeve's tab was in such excellent standing, she deserved a token of gratitude. How about a double round on me? Top shelf, of course. Run! Maeve, is something wrong? No, I'm fine. (..)
