[the Metrocops lead away handcuffed Blank Teacher they've just arrested for teaching the children of "The Fringes" to read using tapes pirated from a Subscription TV channel]
Blank Teacher: Reading is a right, not a privilege!
Dragul: A right that must be earned; a commodity that must be purchased.
Blank Teacher: These kids have the right to knowledge, philistine!
Dragul: Not if it is stolen property. That tape is pirated from Pay Education TV.
[to metrocop]
Dragul: Chief, get rid of him. If these vermin want it, they should pay for it, like everyone else.
Blank Teacher: With what, man? You've closed the circle! No pay, no learning, no pay! You've stolen our right to know!
Dragul: Words are much too valuable to be free. If you were educated, you would know that.
