| Quotes |
Peggy Carter:
Your father was a preacher? Rennie: Kind of a phony evangelist. I tell ya, he was about the meanest man I've ever met in my life. He just naturally liked to beat up on anything that was smaller than him. And of course, he could always say he was beating the fear of God into ya. Peggy Carter: Well, where is he now? Rennie: Well, I, ah, well I hope I know where he is. He was the first man I ever killed. See more » |
