QUOTES of MONSIEUR GANGSTER :
Mais dis-donc, on est tout de même pas venu pour beurrer les sandwichs
Aujourd'hui, les diplomates prendraient plutôt le pas sur les hommes d'action. L'époque serait aux tables rondes et à la détente. Hein ? Qu'est-ce que t'en penses ?
Dis donc, elle est maquée à un jaloux ta nièce? J'faisais un brin de causette, le genre réservé, tu m'connais: mousse et pampre, voilà tout d'un coup qu'un petit cave est venu me chercher, les gros mots et tout!
C'est curieux chez les marins ce besoin de faire des phrases !
