Movie quotes

  • (..) Don't worry, we're gonna find out who did it. There's only three girls in the whole school who aren't in it. At your age, you're gonna be having a lot of urges. You're gonna want to take off your clothes and touch each other. But if you do touch each other, you will get chlamydia. And die. (..)
