I got a job now and I plan on keeping it. I'm walking a white line all the time. I don't bother nobody. Nobody bothers me. You better start doing the same!
Nada
White line's in the middle of the road. That's the worst place to drive.
Frank
So how you gonna make it?
Nada
I deliver a hard day's work for my money. I just want the chance. It'll come. I believe in America. I follow the rules. Everybody's got their own hard times these days.
Frank
[about the glasses]
We can't be the only ones who can see. We've got to find the people who made these.
Nada
Yeah, if any of them are still alive.
Nada
I'm giving you a choice: either put on these glasses, or start eating that trash can.
Frank
Not this year.
Nada
OK. All right. (Fight ensues)
Frank
How long have they been there?
Nada
Who knows.
Frank
What are they? Where do they come from?
Nada
Well, they ain't from Cleveland.
Frank
What do these things want?
Gilbert
They're free-enterprisers. The earth is just another developing planet. Their third world.
Drifter
What is wrong with having it good for a change? Now they're gonna let us have it good if we just help 'em. They're gonna leave us alone, let us make some money. You can have a little taste of that good life too. Now, I know you want it. Hell, everybody does.
Frank
You'd do it to your own kind.
Drifter
What's the threat? We all sell out every day. Might as well be on the winning team.
Frank
Maybe they've always been with us, those things out there. Maybe they love it — seeing us hate each other, watching us kill each other off, feeding on our own cold **** hearts.
Nada
Well, I've got news for them. Going to be hell to pay, 'cause I ain't daddy's little boy no more.
