Famous quotes containing the word leo:

    Leo: What was she, a TV groupie? A hooker?
    Rob: No, she was not a TV groupie, or a hooker. She’s a cellist. A very funny, pretty, interesting, intelligent, fabulous, vivacious cellist.
    Leo: Oh yeah, well, you’d better not see her again.
    Jonathan Reynolds, screenwriter. Leo (Richard Mulligan)
