Joe   Harrison
“Sorry,” Napoleon says, “I don’t know if I should be trying to keep you talking or not. Every movie I’ve seen where the guy’s bleeding out, his buddy’s trying to keep him awake until backup arrives and that’s pretty much the extent of my understanding of these situations.”
Joe Harrison, The Unpaid Internship

“This isn't where I intended to be. Killing a person has a funny way of getting your life off-track. (Dark City Lights)”
Erin Mitchell
