You were hinting around about clothes. That happens to be a very important topic to me, Mr. Banks. Clothes make the man; I believe that. You say to me you want to go shopping, you want to buy clothes, but you don’t know what kind. You leave that hanging in the air, like I’m going to fill in the blank – that to me is like asking me who you are, and I don’t know who you are. I don’t want to know. It’s taken me my whole life to find out who _I_ am, and I’m _tired_ now, you hear what I’m saying? ---

I can’t afford to make exceptions. Once word leaks out that a pirate has gone soft, people begin to disobey you and then it’s nothing but work, work, work all the time. ---

Telephone call? Telephone call? That’s communication with the outside world. “Doctor’s discretion.” Nuh-uh. Look, hey - if all of these nuts could just make phone calls, they could spread insanity, oozing through telephone cables, oozing into the ears of all these poor sane people, infecting them. Wackos everywhere, a plague of madness. In fact, very few, very few of us here are actually mentally ill. I’m not saying _you’re_ not mentally ill, for all I know, you’re crazy as a loon. But that’s not why you’re here. That’s not why you’re here. That’s not why you’re here! You’re here because of the system! ---

You know, I heard there’s so many magnetic waves traveling through the air, because of TV and telephones, that we’re losing, like, ten times as many brain cells as we’re supposed to. Like, all the molecules in our heads are all unstable. All the companies know about it, but they’re not doing anything about it. It’s, like, a big conspiracy. ---
