Mad Max: Fury Road

From Wikiquote
What a lovely day
If I'm going to die, I'm going to die historic, on the fury road!
You will ride eternal, shiny and chrome!
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.
Out here, everything hurts.
I am the one who runs from both the living and the dead… I exist in this wasteland, a man reduced to a single instinct: survive.
Where must we go... we who wander the wasteland in search of our better selves?

Mad Max: Fury Road is a 2015 Australian post-apocalyptic action film, set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, in which a woman rebels against a tyrannical ruler in search for her homeland with the aid of a group of female prisoners, a psychotic worshiper, and a drifter named Max.

"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.
