LEO GOLD
Don't shoot! I surrender!

JC DENTON
So you think you know better than FEMA what to do with this month's Ambrosia
shipment...

GOLD
You're too late. It's on its way back to the people, and you can't do a damn
thing about it.

DENTON
Except send YOU back to the people -- in a body bag.

GOLD
I AM the people.

DENTON
Tell me about the shipment and I'll order the troops to pick you up as a
prisoner instead of a corpse.

GOLD
Ask away. We already won this round.

DENTON
Where are you taking it?

GOLD
We're just giving the ordinary people the same chance to survive as the
bureaucrats in Washington.

DENTON
You'll have to unload in New York because the choppers would spot you at sea.

GOLD
I think the government made the plague on purpose to get rid of population
growth.

DENTON
Just answer the question.

GOLD
Don't believe me? It's all in the numbers. For a hundred years, there's been a
conspiracy of plutocrats against ordinary people.

DENTON
Do you have a single fact to back that up?

GOLD
Number one: In 1945 corporations paid 50 percent of federal taxes. Now they pay
about 5 percent. Number two: In 1900 90 percent of Americans were self-employed;
now it's about two percent.

DENTON
So?

GOLD
It's called consolidation. Strengthen governments and corporations, weaken
individuals. With taxes, this can be done imperceptibly over time.

DENTON
I guarantee you that the interrogation staff at UNATCO will not be as forbearing
as I am.

GOLD
Yeah, the secret police. You're just bullies for a completely illegitimate
government in Washington.

DENTON
We will locate that shipment one way or another.

GOLD
The entire executive branch is hand-picked. Nineteen of the last twenty-three
U.S. presidents have been members of the Trilateral Commission. The Trilateral
Commission is financed by the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. Don't tell me --

DENTON
That's a think-tank. Anyone can become a member.

GOLD
But not everyone does. That's why they call it the "secret government." You can't fight ideas with bullets. Do you ever ask what it's for? The surveillance, the police, the shoot-on-sight laws? Is that freedom? UNATCO teaches teenagers to fight when it still seems like a game, and -- look at you! -- you're a killing machine! Who's the scary one, huh? Me or you? The more of us you kill, the more that secessionism lives in the hearts of the people. Ever wonder why big car companies pay two percent tax while the guys on the assembly line pay forty? Corporations are so big you don't even know who you're working for. That's terror. Terror built into the system.
