  • “The older brother always has to bail the younger one out.”

    Paris Bloom:

  • “Achaeans? Who cares about freakin’ Achaeans? I slew a freakin’
    oliphaunt in my last flick. I’m self-confident enough to just be the
    whiny pretty boy.”

  • “In a few thousand years some scampy chick is going to give people named
    Paris a bad reputation.”

    Menelaus Gleeson:

    Agamemnon Cox:

  • “The older brother always has to bail the younger one out.”

  • If I didn’t get first pick of the spoils this trip would suck for me as
