I’m better when I draw.” Now, I really don’t have any idea about what movie your quote is from, but then again I am the constant source of amusement to my friends due to my lack of pop culture knowledge. ---

I guess I should contribute some as well. OG1: “What is a beatiful woman like that doing with a malaca like you?” OG2: “I never surrendered either.
