Escape the jungle. Expose the truth.

Quotes:

Morgan Swinton: I'll stop them from doing that deal in South America, because you know what they'll do down there...::Jack Begosian: Bleed it dry. It will be like trying to suck an elephant through a straw.

Columbian Mercenary: I'm very good at what I do, my friend.::Jack Begosian: So you work both sides, then.::Columbian Mercenary: [smirking] Yeah, but only one side at a time, okay.::Jack Begosian: A man of principles...

[last lines]::Jack Begosian: [on the air] At the end of the day all we can do is search for the truth, learn from it, and mostly importantly, defend it. So on behalf of myself, and Francisco Francis, I am Jack Begosian. And you're listening to The Truth. Goodnight, and have a good day.::Jack Begosian: [off the air] And myself, I'm going home. And that's a good place to start.

Jack Begosian: It started about 300 years ago in England with the turning of public lands into private property. And it changed the way we think, the way we view time, and land, and water - and even people. It turned them into units. Commodities to be bought and sold, and therefore exploited.::Radio Caller Woman: Yeah, but what is bought and sold is constant. That's never going to change.::Jack Begosian: You know what Sarah, that is absolutely incorrect. Society need to approve of the things to be turned into commodities before they can be bought or sold. People can be bought or sold, correct? That did happen. As horrific and diabolical as that may sound, it's a fact.::Radio Caller Woman: Yeah, and still slavery happens in some countries today.::Jack Begosian: Regrettably true. But why is it that in western society we no longer buy and sell people.::Radio Caller Woman: Because it's immoral and it's wrong in all aspects.::Jack Begosian: Oh, well is it wrong to sell water? What about air, would it be wrong to sell air?::Radio Caller Woman: Air, I mean come on, I mean you can't sell air.::Jack Begosian: No?::Radio Caller Woman: Well, what if you can't afford it, hmm?::Jack Begosian: There's lots of people all around the world that can't afford much water. And what happens?::Radio Caller Woman: I don't know.::Jack Begosian: They die. Is it so far-fetched, Sarah, you can sell water but you can't sell air?

Radio Caller Man: You know how the system works, Jack. No client's guilty 'til they run out of money.

Jack Begosian: Um, when you can't effect change from within, I mean positive change, you have an obligation if you're at all conscious, to get out and try other things.

She had many lovers but only one love.

Quotes:

Lytton Strachey: I don't know what the world has come into: women in love with buggers and buggers in love with womanizers...

Dora Carrington: [voice-over, a letter] My dearest Lytton, There is a great deal to say, and I feel very incompetent to write it today. You see, I knew there was nothing really to hope for from you, well, ever since the beginning. All these years, I have known all along that my life with you was limited. Lytton, you're the only person who I ever had an all-absorbing passion for. I shall never have another. I couldn't, now. I had one of the most self-abasing loves that a person can have. It's too much of a strain to be quite alone here, waiting to see you, or craning my nose and eyes out of the top window at 44, Gordon Square to see if you were coming down the street. Ralph said you were nervous lest I'd feel I have some sort of claim on you, and that all your friends wondered how you could have stood me so long, as I didn't understand a word of literature. That was wrong. For nobody, I think, could have loved the Ballards, Donne, and Macaulay's Essays and, best of all, Lytton's Essays, as much as I. You never knew, or never will know, the very big and devastating love I had for you. How I adored every hair, every curl of your beard. Just thinking of you now makes me cry so I can't see this paper. Once you said to me - that Wednesday afternoon in the sitting room - you loved me as a friend. Could you tell it to me again. Yours, Carrington.::Lytton Strachey: [voice-over, his written reply] My dearest and best, Do you know how difficult I find it to express my feelings, either in letters or talk ? Do you really want me to tell you that I love you as a friend ? But of course that is absurd. And you do know very well that I love you as something more than a friend, you angelic creature, whose goodness has made me happy for years. Your letter made me cry. I feel a poor, old, miserable creature. If there was a chance that your decision meant that I should somehow or other lose you, I don't think I could bear it. You and Ralph and our life at Tidmarsh are what I care for most in the world.

Lytton Strachey: If this is dying, I don't think much of it.

Lytton Strachey: I tend to be impulsive in these matters like the time I asked Virginia Woolf to marry me.::Dora Carrington: She turned you down?::Lytton Strachey: No, she accepted. It was ghastly.

Lytton Strachey: It isn't easy remaining calm in the face of excessive praise from The Daily Telegraph.

Lytton Strachey: I must say, I find these new young people wonderfully refreshing, they have no morals and they never speak. It's an enchanting combination.

Lytton Strachey: Every day, hundreds of boys are dying to preserve... this! God damn, confound, blast and fuck the upper classes.

Lady Ottoline Morrell: You know as well as I do it's a sickness with Carrington. A girl of that age still a virgin. It's absurd.::Lytton Strachey: I was still a virgin at her age.::Lady Ottoline Morrell: But that's my whole point. Don't you see ? So was I. Is there to be no progress ?

Mark Gertler: Haven't you any self-respect?::Dora Carrington: Not much.::Mark Gertler: But he's a disgusting pervert!::Dora Carrington: You always have to put up with something.

Lytton Strachey: I've come to the conclusion there's no such thing as a beautiful Welsh boy. At any rate, all I've seen have been unparalleled frumps.
