Quote #10
NUX: It's over. You can't defy him.
THE DAG: Just watch us, mate.
NUX: He is the one who grabbed the sun.
TOAST: Look how slick he's fooled you, War Boy.
CAPABLE: He's a lying old man.
NUX: By his hand, we'll be lifted up!
ANGHARAD: That's why we have his logo seared on our backs! Breeding stock! Battle fodder!
NUX: No, I am awaited!
ANGHARAD: You're an old man's battle fodder, killing everyone and everything!
NUX: We're not to blame!
ANGHARAD: Then who killed the world?
Their brief argument with Nux allows the breeders to show us exactly what they think of Immortan Joe's particular brand of apocalyptic rule. Basically, they blame him and all his war cronies for the state of the world, because it's folks like Immortan Joe who waste and hoard resources, allowing the earth to turn sour and lives everywhere to be lost.
Quote #11
KEEPER OF THE SEEDS: Where does the water come from?
TOAST: He pumps it up from deep in the earth, calls it Aqua Cola and claims it for himself.
THE DAG: And because he owns it, he owns all of us.
KEEPER OF THE SEEDS: I don't like him already.
Yeah, we're with you on that one, Keeper of the Seeds. She seems pretty disgusted by Immortan Joe's commodification of everything. The women are property, water is property, and owning property gives you power. We thought we got past this with the fall of Medieval feudalism, but it just goes to show you that when civilization falls, there's no telling what will rise up in its place. Best start building that bunker now, folks.
Quote #12
The Wretched: Let them up! Let them up! Let them up!
Victory is sweet, don't you think? With this chant, the Wretched assert that for once and for all, Immortan Joe's apocalyptic totalitarian regime has, quite literally, been upended. His former property are now his successors, destined—we hope—to rule the Citadel in a much more humanitarian way.
