Joe Kenehan: You think this man is the enemy? Huh? This is a worker! Any union keeps this man out ain’t a union, it’s a goddam club!

David: Maybe he’s saying there’s a higher consciousness that we can’t see – that the gods’ perception of reality is so much more developed than ours that, compared to their perception, our perceptions is like comparing flies to boys.
John: I don’t think that’s what he’s, saying, David, I think Shakespeare is getting at a very dark view of the arbitrary nature of human suffering.
David: Maybe he’s comparing human consciousness to divine consciousness, and that even though it seems to us that human suffering is just arbitrary, that’s just because we’re limited to our viewpoint.
John: You’re wrong, David! That’s not what Shakespeare was trying to say.

Catherine: Especially since you can’t rob the people anyway.
Skeeters: Sure. How was that?
Catherine: What you rob, you spend, and what you spend goes back to the people. So, where’s the robbery? I read that in one of my father’s books.
Skeeters: That book should be in every home.
