The Mosquito Coast (Schrader)

 

We eat when we're not hungry, drink when we're not thirsty. We buy what we don't need and throw away everything that's useful. Why sell a man what he wants? Sell him what he doesn't need! Pretend he's got eight legs and two stomachs and money to burn. It's wrong! Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
-- The Mosquito Coast Paul Schrader (screenplay, 1986) Paul Theroux (novel, 1982)
