Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the library, one sees a small white sticker with a red maple leaf, on the spines of some books. These stickers indicate that the books are written by Canadian authors. This was filmed in a branch of the Toronto Public Library.
- GoofsThe incident causes numerous accidents and hospital admissions surge, yet it takes a young girl to catch on that the 'cure' is very short term cardiac arrest and resuscitation. This wouldn't have gone unnoticed in hospitals or elder care homes.
- Quotes
Jill: Fixing this car is going to be so hard. Oh, man. Okay. But there are books on that, okay? You hear?
Dodge: [Smiles] Burn the books, man. Burn 'em all. Don't need those anymore.
Jill: [Matilda looks behind her] Ah, eyes! Can you maybe just not- Focus on the road, please. Not talk to her so she can concentrate, please.
Dodge: [Looks to Noah] Enough people said that the Earth was flat, so the Earth was flat. Then, they said the Earth was round... so the Earth was round.
Noah: The Earth is round.
Dodge: Prove it.
Noah: Science proves it.
Dodge: [laughs] Science? And who understands the science, huh?
Jill: [Matilda looks back at Dodge] Eyes on the road, please. Always.
Dodge: Enough people talk about something, right? Then they put it in the books, and then the book becomes fact. Then it's settled. Then no one understands it anymore, no one even talks about it anymore. Fuck, this is why we gotta burn the books man.
Matilda: [Gripping the steering wheel] He said the F-word.
Jill: I know. Please shut up.
[Dodge whispers an apology]
Jill: She's a kid.
Dodge: Okay.
[pause]
Dodge: You know, my grandmama, you know what she used to tell me? That all the world's problems could disappear in one generation if every kid grew up forgetting all the shit they were taught, the shit that doesn't make sense, but you're taught it enough times you believe it. Then we could actually live in a world where no one is starving... and everyone's equal.
