I love this part in Demolition Man by Edgar Friendly
John Spartan: Wait a minute, you’re that guy outside Taco Bell.
Edgar Friendly: Yeah. What do you want?
John Spartan: I guess you’re not a part of the ‘Cocteau Plan’ are you?
Edgar Friendly: What? Greed, deception, abuse of power? That’s no plan.
John Spartan: That’s why everybody’s down here?
Edgar Friendly: That’s right. You see, according to Cocteau’s plan, I’m the enemy. Because I like to think, I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech, freedom of choice. I’m the kind of guy who would sit in the greasy spoon and think “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the big rack of Barbecued spare ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I WANT high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese alright? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinatti in a non-smoking section. I wanna run around naked with green jell-o all over my body reading a Playboy magazine. Why? Because maybe I feel the need to okay pal? I’ve SEEN the future, you know what it is. It’s made by a 47 year-old virgin in gray pajamas soaking in a bubble bath, drinking a broccoli milkshake and thinking “I’m an Oscar-Meyer Wiener”. You wanna live on top, you gotta live Cocteau’s way. What he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other option: come down here, maybe starve to death.
John Spartan: Why don’t you take charge and lead these people out of here?
Edgar Friendly: I’m no leader. I do what I have to do. Sometimes, people come with me. All I want to do is bury Cacteau up to his neck in sh*t and make him think happy, happy thoughts forever.
John Spartan: Well, I got bad news. I think he wants to kill you.
