George Carlin:
Jim, Jim, calm down, calm down. You began a sentence a little while ago with 'It shouldn't be a surprise'. It shouldn't be a surprise that rich, white men don't care about poor, black people, period. So they're not high on the list.
Jim Glassman:
George, I love you, George, but that's nonsense.
George Carlin:
I don't care if you love me or not. They're not high on the conscious or the subconscious list of those people how are in charge of things in this country, the owners. Forget these foolish elections. The owners of this country don't care about the poor, in general.
Jim Glassman:
The owners of this country? What is this, Karl Marx talking to me? The owners of this country are the voters of this country.
George Carlin:
No, you're wrong about that, my friend. You're absolutely wrong.
Jim Glassman:
Aren't the owners of this country are the voters of this country who elected George Bush?
George Carlin:
No, no, they're not. Listen, these elections are a charade, they're a charade...
Jim Glassman:
[sarcastically] Oh, okay.
George Carlin:
I'll tell you, listen, just listen for a minute and learn a little something! Elections and politicians are in place in order to give Americans the ILLUSION that they have freedom of choice. You don't really have choice in this country.
Mark Wiener:
People always end up the way they started out. No one ever changes. They think they do but they don't. If you're the depressed type now that's the way you'll always be. If you're the mindless happy type now, that's the way you'll be when you grow up. You might lose some weight, your face may clear up, get a body tan, breast enlargement, a sex change, it makes no difference. Essentially, from in front, from behind. Whether you're 13 or 50, you will always be the same.
'Mark' Aviva Victor:
Are you the same?
Mark Wiener:
Yeah.
'Mark' Aviva Victor:
Are you glad you're the same?
Mark Wiener:
It doesn't matter if I'm glad. There's no freewill. I mean, I have no choice but to chose what I choose, to do as I do, to live as I live. Ultimately, we're all just robots programmed abritrarily by nature's genetic code
'Mark' Aviva Victor:
Isn't there any hope?
Mark Wiener:
For what? We hope or despair because of the way we've been programmed. Genes and randomness, that's all there is and none of it matters.
'Mark' Aviva Victor:
Does that mean you're never going get married and have children?
Mark Wiener:
I have no anent desire to get married or have kids. But that's beyond my control. Really, it makes no difference. Since the planet's fast running out of natural resources and we won't make it into the next century.
'Mark' Aviva Victor:
What if you're wrong? What if there is a God?
Mark Wiener:
That makes me feel better.

"Then Jesus declared, 'I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. For as I told you, you have seen me still you do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.'"
Brody Sutton:
I remember the thrill of driving my car, the pleasure of friendship, the touch of a woman who loved me. I remember the words of a man named Elijah Cohan, the man who told me about Jesus Christ. I remember, but it's like a dream, a dream from long ago, and it's fading. I still remember the last free choice I ever made. [insert showing Brody took the implant]
Brody Sutton:
It was the wrong choice.
[referring to Philip and his pregnant new wife, Eurydice]
Olympias:
Pregnant, so soon? The little whore. He will marry her in the spring, during Dionysus' festival. And when her first son is born, her sweet Uncle Attalus will convince Phillip to name the boy his successor. And you will be sent on some impossible mission against some barbarous northern tribe, to be mutilated in one more meaningless battle. And I, no longer Queen, will be put to death with your sister and the remaining members of our family.
Alexander:
I wish sometimes you could see the light, mother. The truth is he's taken from you nothing that you've not been long without.
Olympias:
The only way is to strike. Announce your marriage to a Macedonian, now! Beget a child of pure blood. He would be one of them, not mine. And he would have no choice but to make you king. Eurydice was perfect! If your father, that pig, had not ravaged her first...
Alexander:
Say nothing more of my father! Do you hear me? Say nothing!
Olympias:
You're right. Forgive me. A mother loves too much.
Robbie:
[Robbie notices Julia's fiancee is flirting with another woman across the room, so he tries to provoke him to talk] That is one fine piece of ass right there, hm?
Glenn:
That's Grade A top choice meat!
Robbie:
Yeah, I'd just like to bite right through that thing, arg!
Glenn:
[Glenn starts laughing in agreement]
Robbie:
Yeah but we can't get chicks like that now. We're too old.
Glenn:
Speak for yourself, man. I can still get chicks like that.
Robbie:
Not that hot right?
Glenn:
Gotten hotter.
Robbie:
Ten years ago!
Glenn:
Try ten *days* ago.
Robbie:
Really... As hot as that?
Glenn:
Hotter, and younger.
Robbie:
How do you do it, man? I mean how do you do it without getting caught?
Glenn:
Julia's completely preoccupied with the wedding. She doesn't know what's going on.
Robbie:
Yeah, but you know what sucks though? Once you get married, the party's over, right?
Glenn:
I work in the city, man. And I work long hours.
[talking on Larry King Live]
Caller:
That Republican Convention was one of the most hateful things. I'm a Republican, but I'll tell you what, Pat Robertson, personally, was one of the reasons why I voted against George Bush.
Larry King:
Okay, now, Pat, he's saying you would not let a pro-choice person share your party... or you would try to stop it.
Pat Robertson:
He just, uh, contradicted what I just said. I'm sitting here on this chair telling you something different and he said I won't do - how does he know what I'll do? Uh, I, I, think, uh, if he obviously didn't hear my speech at the convention because it closed with a beautiful story of a lovely lady holding a little, uh, starving child in her arm and, uh, it was a call for a, a better world and, and one nation under God. I can't see how anybody said that was hateful. I don't know where he's coming from but there's something there that is not just on the surface I think because I didn't say the things he said I did.
Larry King:
We'll be back with more Pat Roberson and Lyn Martin and more of your phonecalls on Larry King Live, then Tina Sinatra. Don't go away. [Show goes to commmercial break]
Pat Robertson:
That guy was a homo.
Brian Gamble:
[Mumbling under his breath to Street] This is total bullshit.
Capt. Thomas Fuller:
What?
Brian Gamble:
[Raising his voice to Fuller] I said this is bullshit.
Capt. Thomas Fuller:
Really.
Brian Gamble:
Yeah, really.
Capt. Thomas Fuller:
You should consider yourself lucky Lieutenant Velazquez is standing up for you.
Brian Gamble:
[Looks back at Velazquez and walks towards Fuller] No. I'm lucky I don't have to work for an asshole like you. [Shoves a few things off of Fuller's desk and pushes him back]
Capt. Thomas Fuller:
[shouting over Gamble] That's it, you're outta here, Gamble, you're gone, Gamble, you're gone! [Gamble is pushed out of the office]
Capt. Thomas Fuller:
Street, Street, stay.
Street:
[to Gamble] Hey!
Capt. Thomas Fuller:
Give us a minute. [the rest of the cops leave]
Capt. Thomas Fuller:
Jim, sit down.
Street:
I'll Stand.
Capt. Thomas Fuller:
Okay, [Sits down]
Capt. Thomas Fuller:
Jim, be both know that Gamble is a bad influence on the rest of the team.
Street:
Gamble's a good cop.
Capt. Thomas Fuller:
Unlike him, you still have a chance ata future here. You'll go on record by following after Gamble recklessly. But you had no choice but to follow your partner after he disobeyed orders, and I'll make sure you're back on SWAT tomorrow morning.
Travis:
Wyatt, could you maybe talk to Marco about him always doing my face? You remember in the "What?" video I established the [makes face]
Travis:
face? Well ever since then, every time you see Marco, he's doing the [makes face]
Travis:
face and it's MINE. You look at him on TRL: "Hi Carson! [makes face]
Travis:
" You look at him on the Kids' Choice Awards: "This is ours? Thanks! [makes face]
Travis:
" And then right here on the cover of Seventeen Magazine: "Hi little girl, beauty secrets? [makes face]
Travis:
" It's my face... it's MY face!
Marco:
Uh, hey Travis, am I uh, [makes face]
Marco:
doin' your face, 'cause [makes face]
Marco:
god forbid I [makes face]
Marco:
do your face 'cause it's [makes face]
Marco:
such a good face! [Travis jumps Marco]
Wyatt:
[Breaks them apart] Eye contact. Hand. [slaps Marco's hand]
Wyatt:
Eye contact. Hand. [slaps Travis' hand]
Wyatt:
Now, when we land, I will talk to the choreographer, and she will get you a new face.
Marco:
Awh, too bad his mama couldn't give him a good face!
Conor O'Neill:
Good morning. Um, Gerius was a player on the Kekemas baseball team I coach. Honestly he, uh, he was too young to play. But he wanted to be a part of the team so badly, I couldn't say no. He had a great smile too though I'm not telling you anything you don't know. He was a really tough guy. Just a boy really who, uh, wanted to be around his older brother. The other day we played a really important game against a good team. And two outs in the last inning, I had no choice but to let Gerius bat. He was fearless as he stepped to the plate. I was terrified for him. With two strikes and our hopes dwindling, he hit a shot down the first base line. He won the game. And watching him raise his arms in triumph as he ran to first base, I swear I was lifted in that moment to a better place. I swear he, uh, he lifted the world in that moment. He made me a better person, even if just for that moment. I am, uh, forever grateful to Gerius for that.
[Barry looks around... ]
Barry:
Healthy Choice and American Airlines got together and put this promotion: If you buy any 10 Healthy Choice products, they will reward you with 500 frequent flier miles; with this special coupon, they'll up it to 1,000 miles. So, I think they are trying to push their teriyaki chicken which is $1.79, but I went to the supermarket and I looked around and I saw that they had pudding... for 25¢ a cup... comes in packages of four. But insanely... the barcodes... are on the individual cups! So, quarter a cup, say you bought $2.50 worth. That's worth 500... with the coupon it's 1,000 miles. It's a marketing mistake but I'm taking advantage of it. If you were to spend $3,000, that would get you a million frequent flier miles. You would never have to pay for a ticket the rest of your life.
Lena:
You... you bought all that pudding so that you could get frequent flier miles?
Kaffee:
Were you able to speak to your friend at the NIS?
Lt. Weinberg:
Yeah, she said that if Markinson doesn't want to be found, then we're not gonna find him. She said I could be Markinson and you wouldn't know it.
Kaffee:
Are you Markinson?
Lt. Weinberg:
No.
Kaffee:
I'm not Markinson... that's two down. What?
Lt. Weinberg:
I was wondering, now that Joanne's in on this, I was just wondering if you still needed me.
Kaffee:
They were following orders, Sam.
Lt. Weinberg:
An illegal order.
Kaffee:
You think Dawson and Downey knew it was an illegal order?
Lt. Weinberg:
It doesn't matter what they knew. Any decent human being would have refused.
Kaffee:
They're not permitted to question orders.
Lt. Weinberg:
Then what's the secret? I mean, what are the magic words? I give orders every day nobody ever follows them.
Kaffee:
Sam, we have softball games and marching bands. They work at a place where you have to wear camouflage or they might get shot! I need you. You're better at research than I am and you know how to prepare a witness.
Galloway:
[Galloway arrives] I have medical reports and Chinese food. I say we eat first. [pause, Weinberg is pondering]
Galloway:
What?
Lt. Weinberg:
You got any Kung Pao chicken?
Kaffee:
Alright, here's our defense. Intent, no one can prove there was any poison on the rag. Code reds, they're common and accepted in Guantanimo Bay. The order, A, Kendrick gave it, B they had no choice but to follow it. That's it.
Lt. Weinberg:
What about motive?
Kaffee:
We're a little weak on motive they had one.
Galloway:
Just because a person's got a motive doesn't mean that they're guilty.
Kaffee:
Relax, we'll deal with the fence line shooting when it comes up. In the meantime let's start with intent. I don't know what made Santiago die, I don't want to know. I just want to prove that it could have been something other than poison. Joe, talk to doctors find out everything there is to know about lactic acidosis. Sam, find out who else was in the emergency room that night...
Jetfire:
Somewhere buried in this desert, our ancestors build a great machine. It harvests Energon by destroying suns.
Sam Witwicky:
Destroy suns?
Leo:
You mean blow them up?
Jetfire:
Yes! You see, in the beginning, there were seven Primes, our original leaders. And they set out into the universe, seeking distant suns to harvest. The Primes set out with one rule: never destroy a planet with life. Until one of them tried to defy this rule. And his name was, forevermore, the Fallen... [projects a hologram and narrates the events seen within]
Jetfire:
He despised the human race, and he wanted to kill you all by turning on that machine. The only way to activate it is with a legendary key called the Matrix of Leadership. A great battle took place over the possession of the Matrix. The Fallen was stronger than his brothers, so they had no choice but to steal and hide it from him. In the ultimate sacrifice, they gave their lives to seal the Matrix away in a tomb made of their very own bodies. A tomb we cannot find. [shuts off the hologram]
Jetfire:
Somewhere, buried in this desert, that deadly machine remains. The Fallen knows where it is, and if he finds the Tomb of the Primes, you world will be no more.
Host:
Something happened in the world that was a bright piece of hope for man. Such a thing occurs every few hundred, or a thousand years. Some genius rises, and man takes a new step toward a better life, a better culture. There is a difference with Dianetics and Scientology. *It* has *never* happened before, in all the countless years of time. In this brief moment, we have our temporary chance for handling and continuing life. Clouds loom over this culture and planet. In this short interval, in this one place, we have our freedom before us. We *can* arise above the decay - the final flash that will inevitably extinguish this planet. It is not our mission to save it. It is our mission to free you. You are an immortal being. Your life will not halt because this planet halts. You can go on. Now we could play this very low-key. We could sort of giggle and say, "We can help you a little to lead a slightly happier life." Yes, we could say that. Stating that, if you cooperated, we could make you more cheerful. But that would be like offering someone a diamond, and saying it was glass. Right this instant, you are at the threshold of your next trillion years. You will live it in shivering agonized darkness, or you will live it triumphantly in the light; the choice is yours, not ours. If you, this minute, say, "I will, for better or for worse, go on in Scientology," you will open the door to your own future. If you say otherwise, you slam tomorrow shut in your own face. I'm sorry, but that's the way it really is.

Morgan Spurlock:
[voiceover] Still, the impact of this lawsuit is being seen far and wide. School districts in New York, Texas, and San Francisco have banned sugary soft drinks in schools. And all-natural healthy options are popping up everywhere. McDonald's joined right in, sponsoring events that showed how health-conscious they've become, and creating a new line of premium salads. At the same time, however, they also masterminded one of their fattest sandwiches to date: the McGriddle. A pancake-wrapped creation that won my heart in Texas, but can pack as much fat as a Big Mac, and have more sugar than a pack of McDonaldland cookies. In fact, their new premium ranch chicken salad with dressing delivers more calories than a Big Mac and 51 grams of fat, 79% of your daily fat intake. Over the course of my McDiet, I consumed 30 pounds of sugar from their food. That's a pound a day. On top of that, I also took in 12 pounds of fat. Now, I know what you're saying. You're saying nobody's supposed to eat this food three times a day. No wonder all this stuff happened to you. But the scary part is: there are people who eat this food regularly. Some people even eat it every day. So, while my experiment may have been a little extreme, it's not that crazy. But here is a crazy idea: Why not do away with your Super Size options? Who needs 42 ounces of Coke? A half pound of fries? And why not give me a choice besides french fries or french fries? That would be a great start. But why should these companies want to change? Their loyalty isn't to you, it's to the stockholders. The bottom line: They're a business, no matter what they say. And by selling you unhealthy food, they make millions. And no company wants to stop doing that. If this ever-growing paradigm is going to shift, it's up to you. But if you decide to keep living this way, go ahead. Over time, you may find yourself getting as sick as I did. And you may wind up here [emergency room]
Morgan Spurlock:
or here [cemetery]
Morgan Spurlock:
. I guess the big question is, who do you want to see go first? You? Or them?
