Sample dialogue
We're coming out, guns blazing. The two of you -- all of us -- acquittal after acquittal until the stench of it reaches so high into heaven it chokes the whole fucking lot of them! What we cannot legislate we will buy. What we cannot buy we will degrade. We will blow every fuse of enlightenment until it looks like a vandalized, neon sign! And while God is busy at his peephole -- as he deigns us with his disapproval -- as he lumbers around his empty kingdom like some overfed colonial governor -- as God sleeps late, we will win. We've got a winner here, kids!
scene 263 — INT. MILTON'S APARTMENT - NIGHTWhat's your secret?
scene 26 — INT. MILTON'S OFFICE - DAYWhat are they doing? They're corporate lawyers, what do you think they're doing? They're busy reducing life and death to the proper position of a semi- colon. They're doing needlepoint. Push button battles. Push button wars. Armies that get so fucking far away from each other they need satellites to tell them who won. No pain. No sound. No smell. One big, multinational circle jerk. You, on the other hand, you're on the slaughterhouse floor. You can't help but smell your clients.
scene 53 — EXT. CANAL STREET (CHINATOWN) - DAY (LITTLE LATER)I'm not going anywhere.
scene 122 — INT. SUBWAY TO FIGHTS TRAIN - NIGHTOn a scale of one to ten, ten being the most depraved acts of sexual theater, one being an average Friday night run-through at the Lomax household, I'd say...
scene 250 — INT. MILTON'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
