A scene from Manhattan 1979
Isaac

Has anybody read that Nazis are gonna march in New Jersey? Ya know? I read it in the newspaper. We should go down there, get some guys together, ya know, get some bricks and baseball bats, and really explain things to 'em.

Party Guest

There was this devastating satirical piece on that on the op-ed page of the Times, just devastating.

Isaac

Whoa, whoa. A satirical piece in the Times is one thing, but bricks and baseball bats really gets right to the point of it.

Party Guest Helen

Oh, but really biting satire is always better than physical force.

Isaac

No, physical force is always better with Nazis.
