Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events quotes

View Quote I'm sorry to say that this is not the movie you'll be watching. The movie you are about to see is extremely unpleasant. If you wish to see a film about a happy little elf, I'm sure there is still plenty of seating in theatre number two.

And everyone will be singing and dancing and giggling like the Littlest Elf! A happy ending. Is that what you had in mind?
