Moon Came Quote by William Goldman
““Fortunately for all concerned save the sharks, it was around this time that the moon came out. "There she is," shouted the Sicilian, and like lightning the Spaniard turned the boat and as the boat drew close the Turk reached out a giant arm and then she was back in the safety of her murderers while all around them the sharks bumped each other in wild frustration.””
