I tell you what, the back and forth between Cliff Richardson and Robert Redford at the end.
My blood runs cold every time Richardson gets to the part where he interrupts Redford and says "Not now. Then. Ask them when they're running out. Ask them when there's no heat and they're cold. Ask them when their engines stop. Ask them when people who have never known hunger start going hungry. Want to know something? They won't want us to ask them. They'll want us to get it for them."
There's a truth to that. A truth I could not have really believed or understood, that rattles me, especially after what I've seen for the last 13 years.

If you want some laughs, check out Bullworth. It's not great cinema and has its share
