Prisoner is petting a black cat. No. 2 starts petting same cat.
No. 2: I see you've made a friend.
You've got your invitation to the carnival tomorrow? It's one of our little traditions.
Each year, the Dance of Death in the ballroom in the evening.
We're promised a cabaret this year. You'll come?
Prisoner: I have a choice?
No. 2: You do as you want.
Prisoner: As long as it's what you want.
No. 2: As long as it is what the majority wants. [pause] We're democratic. [shorter pause] In some ways.
Prisoner starts walking. No. 2 follows.
Cut to next scene: No. 2 is now in the lead. Stops at a table with three women wearing orange uniforms.
No. 2: Good morning my dears.
No game is worth playing if you can't win.
That's not very English, I know.
Prisoner: Are you...English?
No. 2: What you should do is find yourself a nice young lady at the carnival. You're too independent.
Prisoner spots a pretty young woman sitting at a different table, alone, no uniform.
No. 2: [gestures toward the three uniformed women] Now they're pretty and unattached.
Prisoner: [gestures toward the young woman sitting alone]
What about her?
No. 2: [looks at young woman] Quite unsuitable.
Prisoner: I'm independent. Don't forget.
Scene:
"Cabaret": Prisoner discovers he is on trial (The People vs. This Person).
Prisoner: What is my crime?
No. 2: We'll come to that.
Perhaps I should explain, our legal system is unusual.
Prisoner: No jury.
No. 2: ...I'm appointed by the Court to defend you.
Judge: We shall hear the Defender.
No. 2:
I would beg the Court to remember, that beneath its panoply of splendor, beneath the awful majesty of the rules, beat human hearts.
This is a human being, with weaknesses and failings of his kind.
That he had a radio, and has broken rule after rule, cannot be denied.
Mattel CEO: Women are at the foundation of this company! There was a female CEO in the 90s and then another one... at some point. So that's two right there!
Mattel CEO: I am the son of a mother, and the nephew of a female aunt. Some of my best friends... are Jewish!
Mattel CEO: No one rests until this doll is back in a box!
Ken: You guys aren't doing patriarchy very well.
Corporate Man: We're actually doing patriarchy very well
[lowers voice]
Corporate Man: ... we're just better at hiding it.
Narrator: So, Barbie left behind the pastels and plastics of Barbie Land for the pastels and plastics of Los Angeles.
Ken: Out there, I was somebody. And when I walked down the street... people respected me just for who I am. One lady, she even asked me for the time.
Ken: No way!
Ken: Way. And if it weren't for these technicalities like MBAs, medical degrees, and I don't know, swim lessons, I could have ruled that world. But I don't need any of those things here. Here, I'm just a dude. And you know what? That's enough.
Barbie: [in tears] I'm not pretty anymore!
Gloria: What? You're so pretty!
Barbie: I'm not stereotypical Barbie pretty!
Narrator: Note to the filmmakers: Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you want to make this point.
Narrator: Well, the Kens have to start somewhere. And one day, the Kens will have as much power and influence in Barbie Land as women have in the Real World.
Stephanie: Hey look, where I work, the people are very remarkable. They're not like these Bay Ridge people at all.
Tony: You mean snobs instead of slobs, right?
Stephanie: What?
Tony: Nothing. Hey y'know Bay Ridge ain't the worst part of Brooklyn, you know what I'm talkin'... I mean it ain't like a hellhole or nothing.
Stephanie: Yeah well it ain't Manhattan...it isn't Manhattan. You have no idea how it changes. Y'know just right over there, right across the river, everything is different, completely different. It's beautiful, just beautiful! People are beautiful, offices are beautiful. Secretaries y'know they all shop at, ah, Bonwit Taylor [sic].
Tony: Oh yeah?
Stephanie: And like the lunch hours are beautiful, too. Like you know they'll give you like two hours for lunch to do something that's related.
Editor's note: I do not judge Stephanie for wishing to trade getting a crappy job where you punch a clock with a job where they actually let you take a two-hour lunch. Also, if you are older, you will have picked up from that scene that a man and a woman having lunch without it being romantic was rather new.
What I like about playing America is you can be pretty sure you're not going to get hit with a full can of beer when you're singing and I really enjoy that!
When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don't learn nothing, cause hey, it's not your fault, it's his fault, over there.
This tune is going out to Marconi!
Money is power; it can make things possible. But if I felt I was doing all this just to get as rich and as fat as possible, it just wouldn't be the same feeling.
The trouble with this interview is that you're interviewing me as though I'm a success, and I feel I'm a failure. I only see the disappointments. We're angry because everything we do turns to ash. We're not fulfilled yet. But there will be a time when our work is done.
I'm good at thinking outside the box, so much that you realize it's not a box to begin with.
There's only one type of music and that's good music, no matter what genre it is.
There are five issues that make a fist of a hand that can knock America out cold. They're lack of jobs, obesity, diabetes, homelessness, and lack of good education.
It should be mandatory that you understand computer science.
When someone is denying what they are, then that's when things start to spiral down.
I don't follow waves or trends or emotions.
I don't want to hope anymore. I don't think we should hope anymore. We hoped enough. Now we have to do. We all have to do now.
If I didn't mould my reality then I'd still be in the ghetto where people like me are supposed to stay. You have to dream your way out of the nightmare.
If Apple's a technology company in the music industry, why can't somebody in the music industry make technology?
If you live in a ghetto and really want not to just change your life and your family's life but change your ghetto's life, make your ghetto a good neighborhood, learn science; try to be like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
I like all the families in the U.K. But what I like about the idea of the royal family is... they seem like they're well educated and there's something admirable about them. And the Queen... she reminds me of my grandma.
If you live in a good neighborhood, you drive home and there's a bank. There's grocery stores and big houses - but no motels. What that tells you psychologically is you protect your money and buy good things for your family to eat in your nice big house.
Code writers, they are my idols.
When you think about the guys who started Twitter, and the Google guys, and the Facebook guys and the Napster guys, and the Microsoft guys, and the Dell guys and the Instagram guys, it's all guys. The girls, they're being left behind.
We need to forge a whole new energy and American Dream.
We all rely on technology to communicate, to survive, to do our banking, to shop, to get informed, but none of us knows how to read and write the code.
If you have a vaccine or an antidote that people can benefit from, you're not going to want to keep it to yourself. You're going to want to spread that wisdom or whatever to as many people as you can, so everybody can benefit from it.
I've got Republican fans. Republicans like the Black Eyed Peas.
You want to play stadiums? You listen to U2. You study it for harmonics, the vocal placement, the freaking chord progressions, their lyrics. You study the production. You study it because studying that equals stadiums.
There's an entry point to any relationship.
We need creative people working with broadcasters, making smart content to inspire people to be geniuses.
[during the Le Mans race]
Leo Beebe: I was thinking, Mr. Ford. Wouldn’t it be great if all three Fords lined up across the finish line at the exact same time? They’ll lined up and came home together. Ford, Ford, Ford.
Lee Iacocca: I don’t think we can actually do that, sir.
Leo Beebe: Why not?
Lee Iacocca: Miles is laps ahead, Leo. What would you have him do, slow down?
Leo Beebe: Yeah.
[referring to Ford]
Carroll Shelby: They want you to slow down.
Ken Miles: Run that by me again.
Carroll Shelby: They want you to slow down. You’re outshining their car, Ken. You’re four minutes up on McLaren. The Deuce wants the three Fords across the finish line, one, two, three, all together. They’re asking that you be a team player, and make that photograph happen for them.
Ken Miles: A photograph, that’s good. That is good!
Carroll Shelby: Ken, even if you tie for first, you’d still be the first man ever to win Sebring, Daytona, and Le Mans in the same year. You’ll have a triple crown.
Carroll Shelby: Look, I didn’t get… I haven’t been able to get you to follow an order since day one. Whatever you want to do is fine with me.
Ken Miles: My choice?
Carroll Shelby: Your choice.
[during the Le Mans race]
Leo Beebe: Bring him in, right now! He’s out of control! Now you bring him in, before he wrecks that car and we don’t finish! Bring him in, Shelby. Or I will get you banned from the SCCA and the FIA.
Carroll Shelby: Ken Miles is behind the wheel, Leo. That’s his car to the finish.
ON THE TRACK
Miles in total control. On the Mulsanne straight, opens it
up. The trees strobe. Miles goes faster. Faster.
IN THE LE MANS COMMITTEE
BEEBE: What the hell is he doing?
Beebe crosses to the phone. Dials furiously.
IN THE PIT. THE PHONE RINGS.
Carroll Smith crosses to answer. Shelby glares:
SHELBY: Do not answer that.
ON THE TRACK
Miles slingshots into the final straight at 232MPH.
MILES is flying now. Man and machine as one...
IN THE CAR
Miles smiles and begins his final maneuver. Passing one, two,
three, four, five cars..
IN THE PITS
Shelby watches as Miles navigates the hairpin. Remington
stares at his stopwatch. Charlie looks over his shoulder.
CHARLIE: ...he’s gonna break his own record.
REMINGTON: Shut up.
ON SHELBY, CLOSE:
SHELBY: Wait for it. Wait for it. Hold hold.
(Then)
Now.
Uber didn't just need more women engineers, or more employees of
color. It needed to stop breaking the law .... It didn't
matter how many black engineers we hired, if they were discriminated
against; it didn't matter how many women we put into positions of power,
if those women perpetrated or enabled the illegal behavior.
