"...if full out economic depression takes hold in the U.S., I think that the gloves may come off."

HIGGENS

It's simple economics, Turner ... there's no argument. Oil now, 10 or 15 years it will be food or plutonium. What do you think the people will want us to do then?

TURNER

Ask them!

HIGGENS

Now? (shakes head) Huh-uh.Ask them when they're running out. When it's cold at home and the engines stop and people who aren't used to hunger ... go hungry! They won't want us to ask ... (quiet savagery)

They'll want us to GET it for them.
