[first lines]

Charlie:
My father was an inventor, a genius with anything mechanical. Nine patents, six pending. He dropped out of Harvard, "to get an education", he said. I grew up with the belief that the world belonged to him, and that everything he said was true.

Allie Fox:
Look around ya, how did America get this way? Land of promise, land of opportunity. Give us the wretched refuse of your teeming shores. Have a Coke. Watch TV.

Charlie:
Have a nice day.

Allie Fox:
Go on welfare. Get free money. Turn to crime - crime pays in this country.

Charlie:
[laughs]

Allie Fox:
Why do they put up with it? Why do they keep coming? Look around you Charlie, this place is a toilet.
