Movie quotes

  • (..) My son! Look at the lovely little baby. Isn't he wonderful? The Lord has taught me a fine lesson. Though I may think I am godly, I am not worldly. Please. My barbarian friend, let's open a barrel and try to save each other's souls. Alas, I am not permitted. Fine. You talk, I'll drink. (..)
