Movie Quote of the Day - haven't had one for a while

Ted: Maybe you'd like an analogy. Well, take... take these ants. In the U.S. view, a small group, or cadre, of fierce red ants have taken power and are oppressing the black ant majority. Now the stated U.S. policy is to aid those black ants opposing the red ants in hopes of restoring democracy, and to impede the red ants from assisting their red ant comrades in neighboring ant colonies.

Ramon: Zat ees clearly zee most deesgusting deescription of U.S. policy I have ever heard. Zee Third World is just a lot of ants to you.

Jurgen: Zose are people dying, not ants.

Ted: No, I... I don't think you understand. I was reducing everything to ant scale, the... the U.S. included. An ant White House, an ant CIA, an ant Congress, an ant Pentagon...

Ramon: Seecret ant landing streeps, eellegally estableeshed on foreign soil.

Fred: Where are the red ants?

Ted points to an anthill: There.

Fred crushes the ants.
