The Experiment

По рекомендации anashulick^lj

& Barris: It's the beginning.
    Travis: Game on.


& Helweg: Come on. We're not talking about crucifying the man here. The word's commensurate*.
Which means, if what the man did was small potatoes, we respond in kind. Small potatoes for small potatoes.
    Chase: Either that, or we wait till that light goes on. Push-ups, ten. Do them now.


& Govenor: I just need a little civility, that's all. It was an accident.
    Chase: This is not a fucking negotiation. Do the push-ups.
    Govenor: Just a little civility, brother. Just a little.
    Chase: All right, everyone, ten push-ups.


& Barris: I mean, they couldn't hurt us. But they could do something much worse, they could humiliate us. That's what we have to do. Is we have to humiliate them.


& Chase: Who's the bitches now, bitches?


& Archaleta: What do you think they want from us?
    Travis: Why would you run a prison experiment?
    Archaleta: Throw some animals in a cage and you get to find out which one of us is gonna be the lions and which ones are gonna get gut.
    Travis: I like to think we're slightly higher on the evolutionary chain than monkeys.
    Archaleta: It don't matter how evolved you think we are. You lock up any animal long enough and the strong's gonna eat the weak. That's just the way it is.

& Archaleta: You better pump your brakes, boy.
    Travis: Oh, yeah? Why's that?
    Archaleta: If you don't start respecting the guards, you're gonna have a serious problem.
    Travis: They're not guards.
    Archaleta: No, they're guards all right. And them up there, they're getting exactly what they want. I suggest you stop protecting your friend.
    Travis: What's right is right, man.
    Archaleta: Last thing a man wants to be in the pen is right. Dudes, they... They start digging in and getting all righteous then. That only leads to one place. Go along to get along, man. Whatever fire you got in your belly, you're best to let it go. Trust me. Let it go.


& Barris: I'm a reasonable man. I'm not the monster that you somehow conjured up in your head. I've been given a position, didn't ask for it. In some ways it would've been easier if I was just a prisoner. Like you. {...} What do you think is on the other side of those cameras? We are being watched 24 hours a day by people who know what they are doing. Do you think that if there was even a chance, just the littlest bit of a chance, that somebody'd die, that they would let it happen?


& Barris: I am an equitable* man. Equitable. Equitable. Not once, not once can you accuse me of breaking the rules. The rules, they help us because they guide us... So that we can exist. So that we can exist. Exist in this world. Everybody's not happy with their lot in life. They have a position, he has a position, and all of you, all of you, you have your positions. And I, I have a position. Without the rules, there's chaos.


& Archaleta: You still think we're higher on the evolutionary chain than monkeys?
    Travis: Yeah. 'Cause we can still do something about it.

~ Все говорят, что фильм — слабое подобие немецкого Das Experiment. Надо бы его глянуть. Но лучше всего — обратиться к оригиналу или же к его описанию.
