– You'll grow up an idiot if you don't stop watching TV all night. Turn it off. Books…Read, so you will learn.

– My penmanship is bad. They keep complaining. They can't read what I write.
– Like a doctor's penmanship?

– This is our new Propaganda Movement. A new Philippine Revolt. Shabu is our new Cultural Revolution. We'll turn every Filipino into patriots like Rizal, López Jaena and Mabini. We'll turn them all into Bonifacio. We'll turn them all into Mao Zedong. We'll turn them all into Jesus Christ! Every Filipino will become a superman. Shabu is the redemption of the Filipino. Let's try the latest product. Get the foil, man.

– Grandpa?
– Yes?
– How many people did you kill in the war?
– A lot.
– A lot? How did you execute the collaborators?
– We shot them in the head. We blew their brains out. Then we'd leave their bodies in the plaza to serve as a warning to the others. We pulled their skin off from foot to knee. That's war, son. It's better to kill than to be killed. That's how war is. War is truly horrifying. All the evils you can name are there. Rape, pillage, killings… You're too young to know these things. I don't want to go through another war. It's too painful. Much more painful than anything in this world…
