Brad Thomte: Ins . Pres .

Quotes 

• Media Pres. : I know senior national elected government officials who I can force my political... bias... then influence on fellow politicians to vote my way... for a payoff, of course.

  A.I. : Isn't that corrupt?

  [Extremely awkwark pause] 

  Bank Pres . : I know companies that can hack into any government, national agency or corporate facility. For the right price, you can get any information that you want. And, they don't need to know why, or your reason. These places are so vulnerable and unprotected. And there is no way they can keep up with the technology!

  A.I. : Isn't that corrupt?

  Media Pres. : The voting public is so naive and unaware of how politics really work.

  Bank Pres . : As CEO of a major bank, we manipulate interest rates to serve our best interests! With no concern for the customers of course. They have no control over us. This also helps our stockbroker friends who manipulate their markets to the broker's advantage. It's all a game!

  Ins . Pres . : We make a fortune at our insurance companies! Overcharging customers and hospitals, and there's nothing the customers can do about it. We have the backing of the politicians. Medical research could have cured cancer and other diseases seventy-five years ago, we won't let that happen. We'd lose too much money.

  A.I. : Isn't that cheating the public?

  Media Pres. : We put our own spin on the stories to suit our corporate bias and other private interests. We can create programming that have half-truths, and misleading stories. And the public doesn't even know.

  A.I. : Isn't that betraying the public's trust?

  Escort : My friends and I have many personal and intimate relations with government and corporate officials. I'm sure I can get them to vote a certain way. For the right price. I'm sure they don't want the public to know their dirty little secrets. It's so easy to trap them.

  Lawyer : Our law firms control and influence many courts, judges, lawyers, agencies and politicians. Our justice system is broken, it's ineffective. And that's just the way we want to keep it.

  A.I. : Isn't that immoral?

  Escort : Who was that guy?

  Ins . Pres . : I have no idea. Never seen him before!

  Bank Pres . : Who was that guy?

  Businessman : I have no idea!

  Lawyer : He must not be from here!

  A.I. : [Leaving the mansion]  If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed by the truth.

  [the mansion explodes]
