Phillip Carvel quotes from Utopia

Phillip

Besides, there are three thousand five hundred species of mosquito. They've been around for a hundred million years. You think you can just yank them out of existence? I mean, you do realize half the birds in the Arctic tundra will starve to death. I mean, you have actually thought of that, or are you fucking idiots?

And how would you cure malaria?

Phillip

Cure malaria? Why do you want to cure malaria? Malaria is doing a great job, leave malaria alone.

Young man, you are drunk.

Phillip

Yes, I am. And in the morning we'll both still be cunts.

Milner

What's wrong with curing malaria? Well wouldn't you want to make the world a better place?

Phillip

Let me explain something to you. The sun throws a certain amount of energy onto this planet. We turn it into food, clothing, shelter, etc. It supports an amount of us, and it took 30,000 years for that amount to become one billion. Then we found a way to use ancient sunlight, sunlight trapped in oil and coal. We started to live off that. What happened? In just 130 years, our population doubled. The next billion took thirty years. The fourth billion has taken just 14. So here's the question. What do you think is going to happen when that oil and coal runs out in, say, a hundred years? When there's ten billion living on a planet that can support only one?

Milner

I think we're going to tear each other apart.

Phillip

At last, someone with an ounce of fucking brain. Malaria? The only disease that needs curing is us.

Phillip

There are certain genetic traits that are undeniably advantageous. Now I believe I've isolated a group of people who are genetically stronger...

A group? Do you mean a race?

Phillip

"Race" is not a term that scientists recognize, but yes, if you must, then race.

That's the Third fucking Reich.

Phillip

It's the opposite of that. I'm not talking about murder, I'm talking about allowing some to continue. A world without race. It's a race without racial fucking genocide!
