Quotes of better days

or being unkind or being evil, is being indecisive.

Thoroughbreds (2017)

They can be anything you want them to be.

Sing Street (2016)

because there is none left.

Under the Silver Lake (2018)

This must be the station they told me about, with the funny name.
Not the station where the train stopped, but the station where the station stopped.
