out there workin' a real job. Share this quote Randal Graves : [ talking about the second Death Star ] A construction job of that magnitude would require a helluva lot more manpower than the Imperial army had to offer. I'll bet there were independent contractors working on that thing: plumbers, aluminum siders, roofers. Dante Hicks : Not just Imperials, is what you're getting at... Randal Graves : Exactly. In order to get it built quickly and quietly they'd hire anybody who could do the job. Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms. Dante Hicks : All right, so even if independent contractors are working on the Death Star, why are you uneasy with its destruction? Randal Graves : All those innocent contractors hired to do a job were killed - casualties of a war they had nothing to do with. [ notices Dante's confusion ] Randal Graves : All right, look-you're a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia - this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits. All of a sudden these left-wing militants blast you with lasers and wipe out everyone within a three-mile radius. You didn't ask for that. You have no personal politics. You're just trying to scrape out a living. Share this quote Related Links You may report errors and omissions on this
