Quotes |
Fred:
I've heard about physical attraction before, chemically I understand it but I've never experienced it. Jane Bingum: What, you've never had a crush? Fred: Up there all I meet are dead people.

I look at this Stacey, and I, and I can't help it. I wanna, I wanna do her grocery shopping, wanna, wanna re-roof her house. I wanna... hunt animals and bring her the MEAT. See more » |
