Movie quotes

  • (..) Can he do that? Completely change his identity, make you the criminal? He's got my whole life story. That's what you do when you sell a big lie, you wrap it up in the truth to make it more palatable. It'll be your word against his. He's been sowing doubt into people's minds for hours. (..)
