Captain Fantastic

& Ben: Today, the boy is dead. And in his place is a man.

& Ben: Mom needs to be in the hospital right now.
    Vespyr: But you said hospitals are a great place to go if you’re a healthy person and you want to die.
    Zaja: You said Americans are under-educated and over-medicated.
    Kielyr: You said the AMA are avaricious whores only too willing to spread their fat legs for big pharma.
    Ben: All those things are true. But mom does not have enough of the neurotransmitter serotonin to conduct electrical signals in her brain.

& Ben: Go talk to them. We got time.
    Bo: Ask her what she thinks of the working people creating an armed revolution against the exploiting classes and their state structures?
    Ben: Well, Marxists can be just as genocidal as capitalists.
    Bo: Or weather or not she’s a dialectical materialist and accords primacy to the class struggle?
    Ben: Avoid Marxism. Or telling her you’re a Trotskyite.
    Bo: Trotskyist. Only a Stalinist would call a Trotskyist a Trotskyite. And I’m not a Trotskyist anymore. I’m a Maoist.
    Ben: Right. I forgot, sorry.

& Ben: S-T-O-P. Stay calm. Think. Observe. And plan.
    Zaja: If you hit the rocks below you, you’ll die from blunt force trauma. Or internal bleeding from massive bone fracturing. Or splenic flexure of the large intestine.
    Ben: Yes, thank you, Zaj.

& Ben: Some fights, you can’t win. The powerful control the lives of the powerless. That’s the way the world works. It’s unjust and it’s unfair. But that’s just too damn bad. We have to shut up and accept it... Well, fuck that!

& Kielyr: It’s interesting.
    Zaja: «Interesting!» Illegal word!
    Nai: Dad, Kielyr said «interesting!»
    Ben: «Interesting» is a non-word. You know you’re supposed to avoid it. Be specific.

& Kielyr: There’s this old man who loves this girl, and she’s only 12 years old.
    Ben: That’s the plot.
    Kielyr: Because it’s written from his perspective, you sort of understand and sympathize with him. Which is kind of amazing because he’s essentially a child molester. But his love for her is beautiful. But it’s also sort of a trick because it’s so wrong. You know, he’s old, and he basically rapes her. So it makes me feel... I hate him. And somehow I feel sorry for him at the same time.
    Ben: Well done.


& Nai: What does rape mean?
    Ben: When a person, usually a man, forces another person, usually a woman, to have sexual intercourse.
    Nai: Oh.
    Ben: Who’s hungry?
    — Me! Me!
    Nai: What’s sexual intercourse?
    Ben: When a man sticks his penis in a woman’s vagina... Everyone keep their eyes peeled for deer.
    Nai: Why would a man stick his penis in a woman’s vagina?
    Ben: Because it can give them both pleasure. And because the combination of a man’s sperm and a woman’s egg can create a baby and continue the human race.
    Nai: But that’s where she pees.
    Ben: Pee comes not from the vagina, but from the urethra, which is within the outer labia. But generally speaking, yes, that is where she pees... Everyone keep your eyes open for game of any kind.

& Rellian: What kind of crazy person celebrates Noam Chomsky’s birthday like it’s some kind of official holiday? Why can’t we celebrate Christmas like the rest of the entire world?
    Ben: You would prefer to celebrate a magical fictitious elf, instead of a living humanitarian who’s done so much to promote human rights and understanding?

& Harper: Ben, you sound so ridiculous.
    Ben: Is knowing how to set a broken bone or how to treat a severe burn ridiculous? Knowing how to navigate by the stars in total darkness, that’s ridiculous? How to identify edible plants, how to make clothes from animal skins, how to survive in the forest with nothing but a knife? That’s ridiculous to you?

& Claire: «Bodevan»? What kind of a name is that?
    Bo: My parents made it up.
    Claire: «That’s weird. Why?
    Bo: Our names are unique. There’s only one of us in the whole world.

& Claire: What kind of music do you listen to?
    Bo: Mostly Bach. Mainly the Goldberg Variations, especially Glenn Gould’s versions. I also like the Unaccompanied Cello Suites, preferably when played by Yo-Yo Ma.

& Leslie: «What Ben and I have created here may be unique in all of human existence. We created a paradise out of Plato’s Republic. Our children shall be philosopher kings.»

& Ben: It’s a beautiful mistake. But a mistake.

& Rellian: «If you assume that there is no hope, then you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.»
    Ben: Noam Chomsky.

& Ben: My face is mine, my hands are mine. My mouth is mine. But I’m not. I’m yours.

& Ben: When you have sex with a woman, be gentle and listen to her. Treat her with respect and dignity, even if you don’t love her.
    Bo: I know.
    Ben: Always tell the truth. Always take the high road.
    Bo: I know.
    Ben: Live each day like it could be your last. Drink it in. Be adventurous, be bold, but savor it. It goes fast.
    Bo: I know.
    Ben: Don’t die.
    Bo: I won’t.
    Ben: Get out of here...
    Nai: Power to the people!
    Bo: Stick it to the man.
