## Dialogue

    Harry the Cat: [Reading from a Christmas book] "Merry voices and lighthearted laughter rang out. Christmas was close at hand, in all his bluff and hearty honesty; it was the season of hospitality, merriment, and open-heartedness... Gay and merry was the time; and gay and merry were at least four of the numerous hearts that were gladdened by its coming... Happy, happy Christmas. I heard the bells on Christmas day; Their old, familiar carols play; And wild and sweet, the words repeat of Peace on Earth, good will to men."
    Tucker the Mouse: Peace on Earth? Goodwill to men? With all that goin' on out there? Hmpf!
    Harry the Cat: You know, Tucker, I think you may have a point there. Why don't you find something more appropriate?
    Tucker the Mouse: [Flipping through pages] Well, I'll tell you this much, Harry, nothing in this book could be less appropriate! [Stopping] Read on, McDuff.
    Harry the Cat: Ahem. "A Visit From Saint Nicolas"...
    Tucker the Mouse: Who he?
    Harry the Cat: ...by Clarence Seymore.
    Tucker the Mouse: Also, who he?
    Harry the Cat: [Reading] "'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house..."
    Tucker the Mouse: Marvelous opening.
    Harry the Cat: "... not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."
    Tucker the Mouse: Not even a what? Why a mouse do I to inquire? Why do people always pick on mice not to stir?
    Harry the Cat: Take it easy, Tucker! Humans are not to be mean to mice.
    Tucker the Mouse: Why not? They're mean to each other aren't they? And every Christmas they get meaner!
    Tucker the Mouse: Roast mouse?! That's disgusting!
    Harry the Cat: Well, I certainly can't imagine you having an apple in your mouth.

* Today, we lost a member of our 'Kemp Strong' family and words cannot express how much Harrison Deal's life, love, and support meant to us. He was a person of deep faith, unmatched integrity, and incredibly kindness. Harrison was the Kemp son and brother we never had.
** 4:03pm on Saturday 4th December 2020 regarding Harrison Deal.

## Quotes about Kemp

* Secretary Kemp has unfortunately built a very strong record of voter suppression. And, yes, he and I have—we’ve conflicted a number of times. And I think I’m very—well, I don’t think, I know—I’m very proud of our record of beating him, of forcing him to restore the canceled registrations of thousands, of compelling his office to do the right thing when it comes to voter registration. But also, I think it’s a challenging conversation to have, both with Secretary Kemp and with Lieutenant Governor Cagle, because rather than focusing on how we move the state forward, they have both focused, unfortunately, on this quieter form of bigotry, of how they want to harm communities and hold us back. I will correct one thing that the commercial played about the deportation bus: It was actually another Republican candidate, who lost.
** Stacey Abrams Interview with Democracy Now (2018)
* I just called the governor and I congratulated him. And I want you to do the same thing. Right now we got to face the reality. Everything I said about Brian Kemp was true. But here's the other thing that I said was true: He is a much better choice than Stacey Abrams.

### George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden Are Dancing Together (2003)

George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden Are Dancing Together: Interdependent Group Polarization in the Case of September 11
* The problem with all bivalent notions is that they collapse without their polar opposite. When we define our ‘self’ against the ‘other’, we come to need the other. And, when, in the absence of a true opposite, one is contrived, our conception of ourselves becomes as distorted as our concept of the other. Ultimately this process of defining ourselves against the ‘other’ only serves to strengthen the other’s position.
* I suggest the importance of developing common identity in overcoming the negative consequences of polarization.
* Like a dance, conflict escalation generally requires the participation of both parties.

* Some years ago I was at a committee meeting where one of the group suddenly launched upon one of the other members an astounding onslaught of abuse, vilification, and loathing from which only failing breath and imminent seizure caused him to desist. It was in fact my first experience of academic debate. The chairman, visibly shaken by the vehemence of this tirade, offered the right of reply to the person attacked, who then spoke as follows: "Mr Chairman, I did not say what I said with the specific and deliberate intention of reducing my colleague to spluttering apoplexy; that this has in fact happened I can only regard as a bonus." From that meeting I took away an important recognition — the lurking Bonus Factor In Otherwise Unpromising Situations.

* The question is not put how far extends

    Quick, to the business; how he lives and eats;
    How largely gives; how splendidly he treats;
    How many thousand acres feed his sheep;
    What are his rents; what servants does he keep?
    The account is soon cast up; the judges rate
    Our credit in the court by our estate.
   * Juvenal, Satire III, J. Dryden, trans.
* Epicurus, the great teacher of happiness, has correctly and finely divided human needs into three classes. First there are the natural and necessary needs which, if they are not satisfied, cause pain. Consequently, they are only victus et amictus [food and clothing] and are easy to satisfy. Then we have those that are natural yet not necessary, that is, the needs for sexual satisfaction. ... These needs are more difficult to satisfy. Finally, there are those that are neither natural nor necessary, the needs for luxury, extravagance, pomp, and splendour, which are without end and very difficult to satisfy.
** Arthur Schopenhauer, “Aphorisms on the Wisdom of Life,” Parerga und Paralipomena, E. Payne, trans. (1974) Vol. 1, p. 346
* You seem to imagine that happiness consists in luxury and extravagance. But my belief is that to have no wants is divine; to have as few as possible comes next to the divine; and as that which is divine is supreme, so that which approaches nearest to its nature is nearest to the supreme.”

## About Chloé Zhao

* You could watch her script adapt to the personalities and stories that came from those conversations. You could see her listening to these individuals telling their stories, and then collaborating with them to fold their own narratives into the script. Chloé really allows people to choose how they want to represent themselves. The safety of fiction filmmaking, in my opinion, actually pulls out a level of honesty and authenticity that I think would be impossible if this was a documentary purporting to truth.
