"Mad" Max Rockatansky
[edit]- [Narrating] My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once I was a cop, a road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy: me, or everyone else.
- I am the one who runs from both the living and the dead, hunted by scavengers, haunted by those I could not protect. So I exist in this wasteland, a man reduced to a single instinct: survive.
- Fuck! How much more can they take from me? They got my blood, now it's my car!
- You know, hope is a mistake. If you can't fix what's broken, you'll, uh... you'll go insane.
- [to Furiosa] Look, it'll be a hard day. But I guarantee you that a hundred and sixty days' ride that way... there's nothing but salt. [points back] At least that way, we might be able to, together, come across some kind of redemption.
- [to an unconscious Furiosa] Max. My name is Max. Mm. Mmm. That's my name.
Imperator Furiosa
[edit]- Out here, everything hurts.
- You wanna get through this? Do as I say. Now pick up what you can and run.
Immortan Joe
[edit]- I am your redeemer! It is by my hand you will rise from the ashes of this world!
- Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you and you will resent its absence.
- Ah, MEDIOCRE!
- You will ride eternal, shiny and chrome!
Nux
[edit]- If I'm going to die, I'm going to die historic, on the fury road!
- Oh, what a day! WHAT A LOVELY DAY!
- I am the man who grabs the sun, riding to Valhalla! Witness me, blood bag! Witness!
- I live. I die. I live again!
- I never thought I'd do something as shine as that!
Capable
[edit]- Cheedo! We are not things!
The Dag
[edit]- Angharad, is that just the wind, or is that a furious vexation?
- [referring to Max] He's a crazy smeg who eats schlanger!
- [referring to her unborn child] Warlord Junior. He's gonna be so ugly.
- [to Max] I thought you weren't insane anymore.
The Bullet Farmer
[edit]- All this for a family squabble. Healthy babies.
- [blind, waving two MP5 guns] I am the scales of justice! Conductor of the choir of death! Sing, Brother Heckler! Sing, Brother Koch! [shooting blindly] Sing, Brothers! Sing! Sing!
Others
[edit]- Slit: By my deeds I honour him, V8.
- Ms. Giddy: We are not things. We're not things!
- Slit: Mediocre Morsov! Mediocre!
- The Splendid Angharad: Who killed the world?
- The People Eater: We are down thirty thousand units of gasoline, nineteen canisters of nitro, twelve assault bikes, seven pursuit vehicles: the deficit mounts— and now sir, you have us stuck in a quagmire!
- Rictus Erectus: I had a baby brother! I had a little baby brother! And he was perfect! Perfect in every way!
- The First History Man: [onscreen text] Where must we go... we who wander the wasteland in search of our better selves?
Dialogue
[edit]- Nux: Immortan! Immortan Joe! [Immortan Joe glances at Nux] Ah! He looked at me! He looked right at me!
- Slit: He was staring at your blood bag!
- Nux: He turned his head! He looked me straight in the eye!
- Slit: He was scanning the horizon!
- Nux: He's gonna be so grateful! We could ask for anything. I want to drive the war rig. What will you ask for?
- Max: [rips jacket off Nux] That's my jacket.
- Nux: Sure. I mean, you could ask for more than a jacket.
- [After Splendid Angharad is grazed by a bullet fired by Max]
- Imperator Furiosa: How are you?
- The Splendid Angharad: It hurts.
- Furiosa: Out here, everything hurts. [Turns to the rest of the Five Wives] You wanna get through this? Do as I say. Now, pick up what you can, and run.
- Imperator Furiosa: Hey, what's your name? What do I call you?
- Max Rockatansky: Does it matter?
- Furiosa: Fine. When I yell "fool," you drive out of here as fast as you can.
- Nux: Immortan, if I can get onto the rig, there's a way inside.
- Immortan Joe: What is your name?
- Nux: It's Nux. I'll pike her in the spine, keep her breathing for you.
- Immortan Joe: No. [gives Nux a revolver] Put a bullet in her skull. Stop the rig. Return my treasures to me and I myself will carry you to the gates of Valhalla.
- Nux: Am I awaited?
- Immortan Joe: [sprays Nux's mouth with chrome spray paint] You will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.
- Nux: Three-- Three times the gates were open to me.
- Capable: What gates?
- Nux: I was awaited in Valhalla. They were calling my name. I should be walking with the Immortan. McFeasting with the heroes for all time.
- Capable: I'd say it was your manifest destiny not to.
- Nux: I thought I was being spared for something great. I got to... drive a pursuit vehicle. For a while, even Larry and Barry stopped chewing on my windpipe.
- Capable: Who're Larry and Barry?
- Nux: My mates. [pointing to his tumors] Larry and Barry. If they don't get me, then the Night Fevers will.
- Nux: There is high ground, just beyond that thing!
- Capable: He means the tree.
- Nux: Yeah. Tree!
- Imperator Furiosa: They are looking for hope.
- Max Rockatansky: What about you?
- Furiosa: Redemption.
- [Max proposes turning back and claiming the Citadel]
- The Vuvalini: What's there to find at the Citadel?
- Max Rockatansky: Green.
- Toast the Knowing: And water. There's a ridiculous amount of clear water. And a lot of crops.
- The Dag: It's got everything you need, as long as you're not afraid of heights.
- Keeper of the Seeds: Where does the water come from?
- Toast: [regarding Immortan Joe] He pumps it up from deep within the earth. He calls it "Aqua Cola" and claims it all for himself.
- The Dag: And because he owns it, he owns all of us.
- Keeper of the Seeds: I don't like him already.
- The Valkyrie: It'll take two weeks to skirt the wall of mountains.
- Max: No. I suggest we go back the same way we came. Through the canyon.
- Toast: [after a pause] It's open. We know that, right? He brought all his war parties through.
- Max: So we take the War Rig and charge it right through the middle of them. We can decouple the tanker at the pass, shut it off behind us.
- Keeper of the Seeds: [she and the Dag make the same gesture] Kaboom!
- Imperator Furiosa: And how exactly do we take the Citadel, assuming we're still alive by then?
- Toast: If we can block the pass, it'll be easy. All that's left are his War Pups, and War Boys too sick to fight.
- Capable: And we'll be with Nux. He's a War Boy. He'll be bringing us home, bringing back what's stolen, as he's meant to.
- [Everyone turns to look at Nux]
- Nux: Yeah. Feels like hope.
- Keeper of the Seeds: I like this plan. We could start again, just like the old days!
- Max: Look, it'll be a hard day. [points to the horizon] But I guarantee you that a hundred and sixty days ride that way, there's nothing but salt. [points back] At least that way we might be able to, together, come across some kind of redemption.
- [He holds out his hand. After a pause, Furiosa takes it and clasps tight]
- [At night, a white dot falls from the sky]
- Toast the Knowing: Look.
- V-Melita: That's what you call a satellite.
- Toast: Miss Giddy told us about those. They used to bounce messages across the earth.
- V-Melita: Shows. Everyone in the old world had a show.
- Toast: Do you think there's somebody still out there? Sending shows?
- V-Melita: [Looking out across the empty desert] Who knows? Those are the plains of silence.
About Mad Max: Fury Road
[edit]- We were going to do an anime before it was delayed a second time when we were rained out of Australia. But because we were delayed that didn't happen, and so we've got that script, and we've got another one.
