- Quotes
[Benji is explaining to David how they can get through their train trip without paying]
Benji Kaplan: We stay moving, we stay light, we stay agile.
David Kaplan: Yeah.
Benji Kaplan: The conductor's gonna come through taking tickets. We tell him we're going to the bathroom.
David Kaplan: The bathroom. Okay.
Benji Kaplan: He gets to the back of the train, he starts heading towards the front looking for stragglers.
David Kaplan: Sorry, we're the stragglers?
Benji Kaplan: Yeah. By the time he gets to the front, the train's gonna be in the station and we're home free.
David Kaplan: This is so fucking stupid.
Benji Kaplan: Man, what's stupid is the corporatization of travel. Ensuring that the rich move around the world, propagate their elitist loins, while the poor stay cut off from society.
David Kaplan: That's great, we can argue Marxism while they're hauling us off to Siberia.
Benji Kaplan: Siberia is in Russia, Dave.
David Kaplan: This is ridiculous. Tickets are probably like twelve bucks.
Benji Kaplan: It's the principle of paying. We shouldn't have to pay for train tickets in Poland. This is our country.
David Kaplan: No, it's not. It was our country. They kicked us out 'cause they thought we were cheap.
