Tomorrowland 2015 quotes, page 2

NOW YOU RUN OUT OF POWER?!?!' 'AAARRGGHHHH!!!!!!

Find the ones who haven't given up. They're the future.

Athena

Frank, It's not personal, it's just programming.

I get things are bad. But what are we doing to fix it?

I know how things work.

Athena

I was designed to find dreamers. I found you. And then lost you — until I found her: Casey. Dreamers need to stick together. It's not programming. It's personal.

Athena

I'm a machine. I never thought that was bad, until I saw your face when you found out I was.

Athena

I'm the future, Frank Walker.

Governor David Nix

Let's imagine, if you glimpsed the future, and you were frightened by what you saw, what would you do with that information? You would go to the politicians? Captains of industry? And how would you convince them? Data? Facts? Good luck. The only facts they won't challenge are the ones that keep the wheels greased and the dollars rolling in. But what if... what if there was a way of skipping the middleman, and putting the critical news directly into everyone's head? The probability of widespread annihilation kept going up. The only way to stop it was to show it. To scare people straight. Because what reasonable human being wouldn't be galvanized by the potential destruction of everything they've ever known or loved? To save civilization, I would show its collapse. But how do you think this vision was received? How do you think people responded to the prospect of imminent doom? They gobbled it up, like a chocolate eclair. They didn't fear their demise, they repackaged it! It can be enjoyed as video games, as TV shows, books, movies - the entire world wholeheartedly embraced the apocalypse, and sprinted towards it with gleeful abandon. Meanwhile, your Earth was crumbling all around you. You've got simultaneous epidemics of obesity and starvation. Explain that one! Bees and butterflies start to disappear, the glaciers melt, algae blooms, all around you the coal mine canaries are dropping dead, and you won't take the hint! In every moment, there is the possibility of a better future, but you people won't believe it. And because you won't believe it, you won't do what is necessary to make it a reality! So you dwell on this terrible future, you resign yourselves to it, for one reason: because that future doesn't ask anything of you today. So, yes, we saw the iceberg and warned the Titanic, but you all just steered for it anyway, full steam ahead. Why? Because you want to sink. You gave up. That's not the monitor's fault. That's yours.

Okay, let's get you up to speed. This is a story about the future. The future can be scary.

We are looking for dreamers. Anyone who will feed the right wolf.

We are the Future.

When I was a kid, the future was different.
