Lord of the Flies
1990
Piggy: We did everything just the way grownups would have. Why didn't it work? Things would be much better here if it wasn't for him. I wish he was dead. Ralph: No, you don't. Piggy: I do! We could just give up and join his tribe. Then we'd at least be with the others. Ralph: No, Piggy. Piggy: Ralph... I can't see. Ralph: I know.
Ralph: Whoever holds the conch gets to speak.
Steve: Sir, are you the leader? Peter: Jack is the oldest, but Ralph is the colonel. (group voices votes for Ralph) Jack Merridew: I guess you just won the election. Ralph: It doesn't matter who's in charge. We've just got to work together. First, we build a camp.
Tony: What are we gonna do with thieves when we catch them? Ralph: We can't have kids stealing and just running wild. We're going to have to have stricter rules and hand out demerits... I guess.
Jack Merridew: Right on, Larry. When you other brats get older or get hungry enough, you can come join up, too.
Jack Merridew: See you tonight, girls.
Piggy: We might have to live here for a long time! Maybe the rest of our lives! If we *are* stuck here until we get old, then we can't go on acting like kids! We've got to be sensible and make things work! Ralph: (looking up) No! (a rock is pushed off the cliff above, killing Piggy) Ralph: You're not gonna get away with this. Jack Merridew: Yeah? Well, what are you going to do, huh?
Piggy: What good is that gonna do? They can't cook pigs without a fire. They'll get trichinosis.
(all are marching and singing in cadence. One sings a sentence, the others repeat it) Piggy, Ralph, Steve, Tony, Peter, Jack Merridew, Simon, Sam, Twin #1, Eric, Twin #2, Roger: Mama, mama can't you see? / What the Army's done to me? / They put me in a barber's chair. / Spun me 'round, I had no hair./ I used to drive a Cadillac. / Now I'm marching in a pack. / I used to drive a Chevrolet. / Now I'm marching for my pay. / They took away my T.V. / Got me doing I.T.
(last lines) (Ralph and the boys come out of the jungle where they encounter a Marine officer and several marine soldiers on the beach) Marine Officer: What are you guys doing?
