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.
