Movie Quotes

“When I was a girl, Grover Cleveland was president. Hehe!” – Grandma 
“Women have choices, and men have responsibilities.” – Gil

“What is it with all the women in this family, that make all the men in this family want to leave?” – Garry

“You know, when I was nineteen, Grandpa took me on a roller coaster… Up, down, up, down. Oh, what a ride! I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited and so thrilled all together! Some didn’t like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it.” – Grandma
