Doctor Drivel's favorite movie quote

From the Year of Living Dangerously

BILLY And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

GUY What's that?

BILLY It's from Luke, chapter three, verse ten. What then must we do? Tolstoy asked the same question. He wrote a book with that title. He got so upset about the poverty in Moscow that he went one night into the poorest section and just gave away all his money. You could do that now. Five American dollars would be a fortune to one of these people.

GUY Wouldn't do any good, just be a drop in the ocean.

BILLY Ahh, that's the same conclusion Tolstoy came to, I disagree.

GUY Oh, what's your solution?

BILLY Well, I support the view that you just don't think about the major issues. You do whatever you can about the misery that's in front of you. Add your light to the sum of light. You think that's naive, don't you?

GUY Yep.

BILLY It's alright, most journalists do.

GUY We can't afford to get involved.

BILLY Typical journo's answer.
