Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
1985
Barter Town Crowd: Two men enter, one man leave!
Max: Thunderdome. How do I get in there? Aunty Entity: That's easy. Pick a fight!
The Collector: Perhaps you've got something to trade after all. Max: Keep talkin' The Collector: Twenty-four hours of your life, in return, you'll get back what was stolen. Max: Sounds like a bargain. The Collector: It's not.
Aunty Entity: This is no enemy. It's almost family. Max: Oh, I see, real civilized! Aunty Entity: The reasons don't concern you, only the conditions. Do you want the deal or not? Max: Mmm (nods in agreement) The Collector: The first is, no one knows you're working for Aunty. You hit him, you go. The second is, it's a fair fight. The third is, it's to the death. Max: Who's the bunny?
Aunty Entity: Congratulations! You're the first to survive the audition!
Max: I don't know anything about methane. Aunty Entity: You can shovel shit can't you?
Master: These our witness, Aunty. Us suffer bad. Want justice. We want Thunderdome! Aunty Entity: You know the law: Two men enter, one man leaves. Master: This Blaster! Twenty men enter, only him leave! Aunty Entity: Then it's your choice. Thunderdome.
Auntie Entity: Well, ain't we a pair, Raggedy Man. (Laughs) Goodbye, soldier.
Pigkiller: Remember: no matter where you go, there you are.
Aunty Entity: And what did you do before all this? Max: I was a cop, a driver. Aunty Entity: But how the world turns. One day, cock of the walk. Next, a feather duster.
Master: Who you? Max: Me Max.
Aunty Entity: Do you know who I was? Nobody. Except on the day after, I was still alive. This nobody had a chance to be somebody.
Aunty Entity: We call it Underworld. That's where Bartertown gets its energy. Max: What, oil? Natural gas? Aunty Entity: Pigs. Max: You mean pigs like those? Aunty Entity: That's right. Max: Bullshit! Aunty Entity: No. Pig shit. Max: What? The Collector: Pig shit. The lights, the motors, the vehicles, all run by a high-powered gas called methane. And methane cometh from pig shit.
Aunty Entity: You think I don't know the law? Wasn't it me who wrote it? And I say that this man has broken the law. Right or wrong, we had a deal. And the law says: bust a deal and face the wheel!
(Max recognizes Jedediah) Max: YOU! Jedediah the Pilot: Me? Max: You, it's your lucky day! Jedediah the Pilot: It is? Max: Uh huh. You've got a plane. Jedediah the Pilot: I have? (Outside, a plane is being started) Max: It might just save your life. Jedediah the Pilot: It will? Max: Uh huh.
Max: The first place you'll find is a sleaze-pit called Bartertown. Now if the earth doesn't swallow you up first, that place sure as hell will!
Master: Me order! Me Master! Me run Bartertown! Max: Sure, that's why you live in shit! Master: Not shit! Energy! Max: Call it what you like. It still smells like shit to me!
Jedediah the Pilot: We're not gonna make it. Max: We haven't got any choice. Jedediah the Pilot: between them and us, there isn't enough runway. Max: There will be.
Max: I ain't Captain Walker. I'm the guy who carries Mr Dead in his pocket.
Max: So, what's the plan? Pigkiller: (laughing) PLAN? There ain't no plan!
(Pig Killer's leg been impaled to the door with a spear) Max: (grabbing the door) Okay, we're going to count to three. One... (Max rips open the door, freeing Pig Killer's impaled leg) Pigkiller: (whimpering, in pain) What happened to two... ?
Aunty Entity: Remember where you are - this is Thunderdome, and death is listening, and will take the first man that screams.
Dr Dealgood: Right now, I've got two men, two men with a gut full of fear. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... dyin' times here!
Max: Who are you? Slake: We're the waiting ones.
(the Blaster has reduced Bartertown's power supply) Auntie Entity: For God's sake, what now? The Master: Who run Bartertown? Auntie Entity: Dammit, I told you, no more embargos. The Master: More, Blaster. (the Blaster puts all power out) The Master: Who run Bartertown? Who... run... Bartertown? Auntie Entity: ... You know who. The Master: Say. Auntie Entity: Master Blaster. The Master: Say loud! (the Master turns on the town loudspeakers) Auntie Entity: Master Blaster. The Master: Master Blaster... what? Auntie Entity: Master Blaster runs Bartertown. The Master: Louder! Auntie Entity: Master Blaster runs Bartertown! The Master: Lift embargo. (the Blaster turns power back on)
Blackfinger: (after inspecting a bomb) It's a class job. One mistake, and it'll blow the crap out of this place! Literally.
The Master: You want foot in face?
Jedediah Jr.: (armed with more guns than he can hold) This is a stickup! Anybody moves, and they're dead meat! Max: (turns around and looks at the approaching vehicles) Jedediah Jr.: Oh, no, I think we're all dead meat!
Pigkiller: (sees that Max has discovered Blaster's weakness) Mr., who are ya? Max: No-one Pigkiller: What's your name? Max: Nobody. Pigkiller: No Mr., I can feel it! The dice are rollin'!
