Rocco and Pickles the Prophet
PICKLES
These occupy movements are preface to revolution.
Will it be bloody?
ROCCO
Inevitable, given Republican thick-heatedness! But...how do you know it won’t come from the Right?
PICKLES
They got nothing to sell. You still need something to sell. Force, itself, is never enough.
ROCCO
Freedom!–that’s their trump card.
PICKLES
Yeah, the freedom to be exploited. Some freedom!
ROCCO
Must you always uncover the subtext?
PICKLES
All you got in America.
ROCCO
I seem to remember some actual texts: Bill of Rights, Constitution.
PICKLES
Apply to rich. Everybody else shafted by greasy semantics
as practiced by Supreme Court. Bought and sold like everything else.
ROCCO
Sounds awful. Is. Can we start over?
PICKLES
That’s the idea.
In R’s world, no idea off table. No, really.
