Blimey. Too many to mention .. apparently, I have an odd (good) memory for dialogue. But Nobody's perfect.
You did good. Damn right I did.

Your excellent overview of how everything evolved, was structured and planned does raise my hopes.
The election result is already a major inspiration. If a workable government comes out of these roots, it will be a beacon of hope not just for Serbia, but much more widely.
A friend in Paris had a balcony this wide. They had a table permanently filling the full width, and the diners reached their seats through separate French windows to either side. Genius.

If the Greens are needed, then Labour will be handicapped in its active support for genocide.

Bring it on. #GTZO
Léon is an interesting suggestion, magnificent performances from both Reno and Oldman with a perfect resolution to their rivalry. Such a scene!
Just one question .. who, for you, is the 'baddy'? Reno the killer, or Oldman the nutter?
