Movie quotes

  • (..) Dangerous! Cold! Ice has a magic Can't be controlled. Stronger than one, Stronger than ten. Stronger than a hundred men! Born of cold and winter air And mountain rain combining. This icy force both Foul and Fair. Has a frozen heart worth mining. Cut through the heart, Cold and Clear. (..)
