SAKAMOCHI: The thing is, it’s not an experiment at all. This country needs the Program. Come on, why do you think we have the local news broadcast the image of the winner? Of course, viewers might feel sorry for him or her, thinking, the poor student probably didn’t even want to play the game, but had no choice but to fight the others. In other words, everyone ends up concluding, you can’t trust anyone, right? Which would extinguish any hope of uniting and forming a coup d'etat against the government, hm? And so the Republic of Greater East Asia and its ideals will live on for eternity. Naturally everyone has to die equally for the sake of this noble goal. I’ve passed this wisdom onto my kids. My oldest kid is in the second grade now and she’s always saying how she’ll sacrifice her life for the Republic.
SHOGO: You're… insane. You’re out of your mind! How can you be like that? A government is supposed to serve the needs of the people. We shouldn’t be slaves to our own system. If you think this country makes sense… then you’re insane!
SAKAMOCHI: Hey, Kawada. You’re still a kid. It looks like you guys had some talks, but I want you to think a little more. This is a marvelous country. It’s the most prosperous country in the world. Well, you might not be able to travel abroad much, but its industrial exports are unsurpassed. The government’s slogan is telling the truth when it claims our per capita production is the best in the world. The thing is though, this prosperity only comes as a result of unifying the population with a powerful government at the center. A certain degree of control is always necessary. Otherwise… we’ll decline into a third-rate country, like the American Empire. You know, right? That country is in turmoil from all kinds of problems like drugs, violence, and homosexuality. They’re living off their past glory, but it’ll only be a matter of time before they fall apart.
SHOGO: Let me say one thing.
SAKAMOCHI: What? Go ahead.
SHOGO: You guys might call it prosperity, but it’ll always be phoney. That truth won’t change even if you kill me now. You’re doomed to be phoney. Don’t forget that.
SAKAMOCHI: Are you done with your speech? [He pointed his gun.]

SHOGO: The country implemented this system, and it just kept on successfully evolving. What I mean by ‘success’ is that it succeeded as an industrialized nation. Even though the country stuck to isolationism, it traded with other countries that remained neutral, not only to us but to America as well, and imported raw materials from them and sold products to them. The products sold well. Of course they would. Their quality is really high. Serious competition against the U.S. The only things this country lags behind in are space technology and computers. But the high quality comes as a result of the individual’s subservience to the group and an oppressive government. Still… I have a feeling that once we’ve reached this level of success even the people themselves are afraid of changing the system. With this kind of success, and this high standard of living, they won’t be willing to make a few sacrifices, even if there may be a few little problems. And overthrowing the government would be out of the question.

Jack and Jill, went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water, so they say
Their subsequent fall was inevitable
They never stood a chance, they were written that way
Innocent victims of their story!
Like Romeo and Juliet
T’ was written in the stars before they even met
That love and fate, and a touch of stupidity
Would rob them of their hope of living happily
The endings are often a little bit gory
I wonder why they didn’t just change their story?
We’re told we have to do as we’re told but surely
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.
Just because you find that life’s not fair it
Doesn’t mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
Nothing will change.
Even if you’re little, you can do a lot, you
Mustn’t let a little thing like, ‘little’ stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Might as well be saying
You think that it’s ok
And that’s not right!
And if it’s not right!
You have to put it right!

STANLEY: The comparison makes me laugh! Olivia is a person of accomplishment and charm. Sophie’s a street finagler who makes her way living off one bit of hokum to the next.
AUNT VANESSA: Well, I don’t see how you can compare the two.
STANLEY: Well, don’t put ideas into my head!
AUNT VANESSA: Well, far be it from me!
STANLEY: Of course, she does come from dire circumstances. I mean, it’s very easy to be judgmental about people who are born into circumstances less fortunate than one’s own.
AUNT VANESSA: Well, life is harsh. One must do what one must to survive.
STANLEY: Well put. And people do sometimes make the wrong choices, which they regret, even though no serious harm was done.
AUNT VANESSA: Which of us has not made some blunders in life?
STANLEY: And there is a rather appealing quality about Sophie. Despite her disgusting behaviour.
AUNT VANESSA: Yes, her smile is rather winning. Of course, it depends how much value you put on the purely physical.
STANLEY: Well, no, I… I, for one, esteem the higher virtues.
AUNT VANESSA: Hmm… Beauty of the soul…
STANLEY: Although her eyes are rather pleasant to look into. And that she can be amusing, under the right circumstances.
AUNT VANESSA: Oh, but Olivia is an educated, cultivated woman. One that befits a man of your artistic genius.
STANLEY: Yes, now, my genius must be factored in. On paper, there’s really no reason to prefer Sophie to Olivia.
AUNT VANESSA: Well, I would say the opposite.
STANLEY: And so your, your suggestion that I, I be honest with Olivia and tell her that as irrational as it seems, I’ve fallen in love with, with Sophie - that’s a preposterous notion.
AUNT VANESSA: It’s lunacy.
STANLEY: Yet I can’t help feeling that…
AUNT VANESSA: That you love Sophie. Yes, I understand. You’re puzzled and bewildered; because your foolish logic tells you that you should love Olivia.
STANLEY: Foolish logic?
AUNT VANESSA: And yet, how little that logic means when placed next to Sophie’s smile…
STANLEY: What are you saying?
AUNT VANESSA: That the world may or may not be without purpose, but it’s not totally without some kind of magic.
STANLEY: I have irrational positive feelings for Sophie Baker. It’s like witnessing a trick I can’t figure out.

There is an unwritten rule in Soviet publications, both military and civilian, that you can criticize, but not generalize. What that means is that individual screwups can be identified and castigated at length, but for political reasons it is unacceptable to make general criticisms applying to a whole institution. You see, a critique that pointed to an all-pervasive condition would ipso facto critique Soviet society as a whole, and thereby the Communist Party, which oversees every aspect of Soviet life.

This roof keeps me dry when the rain falls.
This door helps to keep the cold at bay.
On this floor I can stand on my own two feet.
On this chair I can write my lessons.
On this pillow I can dream my nights away.
And this table, as you can see, well, it’s perfect for tea.
It isn’t much but it is enough for me.
It isn’t much but it is enough…
On these walls I hang wonderful pictures.
Through this window I can watch the seasons change.
By this lamp I can read, and I, I am set free!
And when it’s cold outside I feel no fear!
Even in the winter storms, I am warmed by a small but stubborn fire.
And there is no-where I would rather be.
It isn’t much but it is enough for me.
It isn’t much but it is enough for me.
For this is my house!
This is my house!
It isn’t much but it is enough for me.

They are guardians of the State. They enjoy positions of the greatest trust. They have betrayed that trust by lying, and in doing so, they have endangered the State. The penalty for treason is death. It is a hard thing, and I take no pleasure in it–but unless we snap our units into shape, how many young boys will die for their officers’ failings? We need combat readiness more than we need four liars. If there is a gentler way to achieve this don’t know what that might be. An army without discipline is a worthless mob. We have the directive to make examples of unruly privates and restore the authority of our NCOs. It is fitting that if privates must suffer for their failings, then their colonels must suffer too. Theirs is the greater responsibility. Theirs is the greater reward. A few examples here will go a long way to restoring our army.
