Movie quotes

  • (..) kicking you out of the house... ...and the kids wanting nothing to do with you as a negative, when in fact... - I guess it's mostly negative, isn't it? - Well, yeah. I had no upside for that. Hey! You're getting that big promotion today, right? Yes. Yes, I am. Today everything turns around for me. (..)
