Quote #4

ACE: We are War Boys! Kamakrazee war boys! Fucacima kamakrazee war boys! Today we're headin' to Gas Town! Today we're hauling Aqua Cola! Today we're hauling produce! And today we're hauling mother's milk!

As Ace—one of Furiosa's War Boys—shouts this chant, the other War Boys in their convoy join in and repeat his words. The moment does so much world building in a short span of time. We learn about the economy of the apocalypse, where the Citadel can trade water (that would be Aqua Cola), produce, and mother's milk for "guzzoline" (and bullets, too). And check out how they refer to water as Aqua Cola, as if Immortan Joe has created a brand of water all his own. As if you can own water in the first place…

Quote #5

IMMORTAN JOE: I am your redeemer. It is by my hand you will rise from the ashes of this world!

Okay, Joe. We think maybe you've drunk a bit too much of your own Kool-Aid. If you ask someone like Angharad, it's men like Immortan that turned the world into ashes in the first place ("Who killed the world?"), so his promise of redemption rings a little hollow. Most of the Wretched probably wouldn't be so wretched if Joe could learn to share the wealth. Alas, megalomaniacs aren't known for their generosity.

Quote #6

NUX: If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die historic on the Fury Road.

Poor Nux. His whole post-apocalyptic worldview is wrapped up in the idea of kamikaze-ing himself to honor a hideous maniac. But we guess there aren't many choices in the wasteland. Dude's gotta believe in something, right?
