Pa Dennis
- Pa Dennis: You're trying to tell me the world ain't getting any better.
- Max Brinker: It's getting worse.
- Pa Dennis: But why is it getting worse?
- Max Brinker: Oh, the burden of proof is on you, my friend. Why is it getting better?
- Pa Dennis: Look how much longer people live.
- Max Brinker: I admit that, but that only prolongs their suffering.
- Pa Dennis: Well, if you think life is so awful, why don't you cut your throat?
- Max Brinker: Because I can't afford to buy a knife.
- [Pa hands Max a knife]
- Max Brinker: Oh, you are stupid, my friend. That's why you can't accept the doctrines of Communism, why you endure class servitude. You are a fish, a timid little rabbit, a slinking mouse afraid to fight. And what have you to lose, I ask you?
- Max Brinker, Pa Dennis: Nothing but your chains.
- Pa Dennis: Primpin' for Tom again, eh? Trying to look pretty.
- Mary Dennis: No, just trying to look less like the family.
