Grim Fandango (1998 Video Game)
Paula Killen: Olivia Ofrenda
Quotes
-
Olivia Ofrenda : [reading a poem] With bony hands I hold my partner/ On soulless feet we cross the floor/ The music stops as if to answer/ An empty knocking at the door/ It seems his skin was sweet as mango/ When last I held him to my breast/ But now we dance this grim fandango/ And will four years before we rest.
