Movie quotes

  • (..) No. He's not quite ready. What do you mean, Marcelle? - What is that? - We'll explain at some point. Marcelle, we have to talk... There's a problem with the training. It's not about being ready. I do not do that. I don't empty a stranger's butt. I don't even empty a friend's butt. (..)
