Movie quotes

  • (..) But I made it, "If this woman doesn't get to a hospital... ...she's not gonna live." Oh, okay. I see what you did there. Aren't you afraid the writers will be kind of mad when they read this? I never thought about the writers. The scripts just come to my house. But you know what?
