Movie quotes

  • (..) We can't just dump him on the street. I know a place upstate. They will never find him. More tablecloths. I didn't want to get blood on your floor. Henry, go open your trunk. We will get a shovel at my mother's house. She has a shovel somewhere. Quiet, I don't want to wake her. (..)
