Watch cast away. It’s a great movie.
Best volleyball movie since Top Gun.
It’s a moving movie.
A moving moving picture
You have my permission to get up and go to the bathroom when he starts talking about a toothache.

The joke is that time Tom Hanks was in an abusive relationship with a volleyball
Yea, he really treated Wilson like shit sometimes.
