Movie quotes

  • (..) How much did this thing cost? The economics of the future are somewhat different. Money doesn't exist in the th century. No money? You mean you don't get paid? The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves... and the rest of humanity. All right! (..)
