Robert Shaw: Ghost of Christmas Future

Quotes 

  • Ghost of Christmas Future : [walking through a post-apocalyptic landscape]  The ultimate Garden of Eden. Planted by man. Cultivated by his weapons. And irrigated by his blood. And brought to fruition by his prejudices - and his hate.

  • Ghost of Christmas Future : The inheriting strong of the earth. The fittest who happened to survive. The leftovers of the crap game after they rolled the H-bomb and nobody made their point.

  • Daniel Grudge : What could have done this? What happened here?

    Ghost of Christmas Future : Time. Time happened here, Mr. Grudge! Attrition. Neglect. Misuse. A few passing catastrophes. Time!

  • Ghost of Christmas Future : It seems, at a given moment, we thought that they dropped some bombs or they thought we'd drop some bombs. Anyway, somebody thought somebody had dropped some bombs. By then, of course, everybody had the bomb. They'd all been wanting it. Remember? It got so with no controls that nobody was really anybody if they didn't have the bomb.

  • Daniel Grudge : What about the United Nations? It was supposed to keep the peace.

    Ghost of Christmas Future : The United... Oh, that town meeting hall. Oh, yes. Well, that went some time back, I'm afraid. You see, they dropped out. Or, maybe we dropped out. Anyway, somebody dropped out. Pretty soon everybody was dropping or had dropped out. And before anybody knew it, the talking had stopped.

  • Ghost of Christmas Future : When the first bomb dropped on Hiroshima the fate of man could have been predicted by a cut-rate gypsy!
