Movie quotes

  • (..) I won't do it again. You're darn tooting you won't do it again. This kind of wanton violence is totally unacceptable. And rather uncharacteristic, given how you feel about Mr. Gandhi. What on earth provoked it? She called me a dog. Well, all right then. Thank you for telling me. (..)
