Quote from Hal in Buseys Take a Hostage
Hal: Mulberry Village. A new utopia! Malcolm: What the hell is all this stuff? Hal: Oh, just a few compulsory guidelines to help people make the transition. Malcolm: Failure to smile 'Hello', $50 fine? Not knowing your neighbor's name, $25? Failure to remove your fence, $100? Hal: People can be resistant to change. Malcolm: What's the "Hug your child" initiative? Hal: Everyone has to publicly hug their child at least once a day. A hotline will be set up so that children can inform on non-hugging parents. Malcolm: You're going to make kids inform on their parents? Hal: Parents, neighbors, teachers, everybody! If they've got nothing to hide, they've got nothing to worry about. Malcolm: Tell me about the "reeducation center." Hal: Oh! That's where the best, most neighborly children will be plucked from the corrupting influence of their families, and immersed in round-the-clock friendliness training. I call them the Mulberry Youth. Malcolm: Dad, give me the fliers. Hal: Thank you, son, but they've already been distributed throughout the whole neighborhood. Like a modern-day Martin Luther, I nailed them to the front doors. [crowd noises] Maybe we should go out the back door and spend the rest of the day at the library. Not now, Malcolm. The villagers are coming.
