Paranoid Weirdos : Government is Good for You



OSCAR :
Constance is such a natural mother, she's invited Robbie into the nest while his parents are abroad. 
Robbie is Canadian. 
You can tell by his youth. 

SPHINX :
Have you been brought to England to mature, Mr Ross? 

ROBBIE ROSS :
That was the idea. 
But it doesn't seem to be working. 
I've lived here since I was three and you see the pitiful result. 

OSCAR :
Robbie comes from a long line of Imperial Governors. 
His grandfather was Prime Minister of Upper Canada. 
Or was it Lower Canada? 
The British take their class system wherever they go. 
They apply it even to continents. 

SPHINX :
Are you planning to Govern a Continent? 


ROBBIE ROSS :
Oh, no. I don't even plan to govern myself.

"This is a film about how ALL of Us have become Richard Nixon.

Just like him, we have all become paranoid weirdos.

It's the story of how Television and Newspapers DID this to Us,
and how it has paralysed the ability of Politics to transform The World for The Better."
