Movie quotes

  • (..) Smith. Smith W. Yes, you. Bend lower. You're not trying. Watch me. There, brother, that's what I want. Anyone under is perfectly capable of touching his toes. I'm and I've had four children. We don't all have the privilege of fighting. Remember our boys on the Malabar front. (coughing) (..)
