Mary McDonnell: Madeline Usher

Quotes 

• Madeline Usher : Please, treasure. What the fuck does that even mean? Gold's just a... transition metal element, nothing special. Money's not even gold anymore, it's just ones and zeros. It's a lie agreed upon. We built a life. A privileged fucking life, out of nothing but dirt and trauma, empty pockets and broken hearts. We did that. And say what you will, it was fucking substantial.

• Madeline Usher : These people. They want an entire meal for $5 in five minutes then complain when it's made of shit and plastic. McDonald's would serve nothing but kale salad all day and all night long if that's what people fucking ate. It's available, no one buys it. We will get around to funding AIDS research, and diabetes, and heart disease, just as soon as we figure out how to keep our geriatric dicks harder for a few more minutes. What's the market share on wimpy dicks, Roderick? 60-70% of the healthcare industry. The Pentagon spent $83 million on Viagra last year. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court, the fucking Supreme Court does its part, tears the autonomy, rips the liberty away from women, shreds not just their choice but their future, their potential. We turn men into cum fountains and women into factories, cranking out, what, an impoverished workforce, there for the labor and to spend what little they make consuming. Hmm. And what do we teach them to want? Houses they can't afford. Cars that poison the air. Single-serve plastics, clothes made by starving children in third world countries, and they want it so bad that they're begging for it, they're screaming for it, they're insisting upon it. And we're the problem? These fucking monsters, these fucking consumers, these fucking mouths. They point at you and me like we're the problem. They fucking invented us.
