## "Mad" Max Rockastanksy

* [Narrating] My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once I was a cop, a road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy: me, or everyone else.
* I am the one who runs from both the living and the dead, hunted by scavengers, haunted by those I could not protect. So I exist in this wasteland, a man reduced to a single instinct: survive.
* Fuck! How much more can they take from me? They got my blood, now it's my car!
* You know, hope is a mistake. If you can't fix what's broken, you'll, uh... you'll go insane.
* [to Furiosa] Look, it'll be a hard day. But I guarantee you that a hundred and sixty days' ride that way... there's nothing but salt. [points back] At least that way, we might be able to, together, come across some kind of redemption.
* [to an unconscious Furiosa] Max. My name is Max. Mm. Mmm. Mm. Mmm. That's my name.

## Imperator Furiosa

* Out here, everything hurts.
* You wanna get through this? Do as I say. Now pick up what you can and run.

## Immortan Joe

* I am your redeemer! It is by my hand you will rise from the ashes of this world!
* Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you and you will resent its absence.
* Ah, MEDIOCRE!
* You will ride eternal, shiny and chrome!

## Nux

* If I'm going to die, I'm going to die historic, on the fury road!
* Oh, what a day! WHAT A LOVELY DAY!
* I am the man who grabs the sun, riding to Valhalla! Witness me, blood bag! Witness!
* I live. I die. I live again!
* I never thought I'd do something as shine as that!
* Umm Guys there right behind me aren't they?

## Capable

* Cheedo! We are not things!

## The Dag

* Angharad, is that just the wind, or is that a furious vexation?
* [referring to Max] He's a crazy smeg who eats schlanger!
* [referring to her unborn child] Warlord Junior. He's gonna be so ugly.
* [to Max] I thought you weren't insane anymore.

## The Bullet Farmer

* All this for a family squabble. Healthy babies.
* [blind, waving two MP5 guns] I am the scales of justice! Conductor of the choir of death! Sing, Brother Heckler! Sing, Brother Koch! [shooting blindly] Sing, Brothers! Sing! Sing!

## Others

* Slit: By my deeds I honour him, V8.
* Ms. Giddy: We are not things. We're not things!
* Slit: Mediocre Morsov! Mediocre!
* The Splendid Angharad: Who killed the world?
* The People Eater: We are down thirty thousand units of gasoline, nineteen canisters of nitro, twelve assault bikes, seven pursuit vehicles: the deficit mounts— and now sir, you have us stuck in a quagmire!
* Rictus Erectus: I had a baby brother! I had a little baby brother! And he was perfect! Perfect in every way!
* The First History Man: [onscreen text] Where must we go... we who wander the wasteland in search of our better selves?

## Dialogue

    Nux: Immortan! Immortan Joe! [Immortan Joe glances at Nux] Ah! He looked at me! He looked right at me!
    Slit: He was staring at your blood bag!
    Nux: He turned his head! He looked me straight in the eye!
    Slit: He was scanning the horizon!
    Nux: He's gonna be so grateful! We could ask for anything. I want to drive the war rig. What will you ask for?
    Max: [rips jacket off Nux] That's my jacket.
    Nux: Sure. I mean, you could ask for more than a jacket.
    [After Splendid Angharad is grazed by a bullet fired by Max]
    Imperator Furiosa: How are you?
    The Splendid Angharad: It hurts.
    Furiosa: Out here, everything hurts. [Turns to the rest of the Five Wives] You wanna get through this? Do as I say. Now, pick up what you can, and run.
    Imperator Furiosa: Hey, what's your name? What do I call you?
    Max Rockatansky: Does it matter?
    Furiosa: Fine. When I yell "fool," you drive out of here as fast as you can.
    Nux: Immortan, if I can get onto the rig, there's a way inside.
    Immortan Joe: What is your name?
    Nux: It's Nux. I'll pike her in the spine, keep her breathing for you.
    Immortan Joe: No. [gives Nux a revolver] Put a bullet in her skull. Stop the rig. Return my treasures to me and I myself will carry you to the gates of Valhalla.
    Nux: Am I awaited?
    Immortan Joe: [sprays Nux's mouth with chrome spray paint] You will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.
    Nux: Three-- Three times the gates were open to me.
    Capable: What gates?
    Nux: I was awaited in Valhalla. They were calling my name. I should be walking with the Immortan. McFeasting with the heroes for all time.
    Capable: I'd say it was your manifest destiny not to.
    Nux: I thought I was being spared for something great. I got to... drive a pursuit vehicle. For a while, even Larry and Barry stopped chewing on my windpipe.
    Capable: Who're Larry and Barry?
    Nux: My mates. [pointing to his tumors] Larry and Barry. If they don't get me, then the Night Fevers will.
    Nux: There is high ground, just beyond that thing!
    Capable: He means the tree.
    Nux: Yeah. Tree!
    Imperator Furiosa: They are looking for hope.
    Max Rockatansky: What about you?
    Furiosa: Redemption.
    [Max proposes turning back and claiming the Citadel]
    The Vuvalini: What's there to find at the Citadel?
    Max Rockatansky: Green.
    Toast the Knowing: And water. There's a ridiculous amount of clear water. And a lot of crops.
    The Dag: It's got everything you need, as long as you're not afraid of heights.
    Keeper of the Seeds: Where does the water come from?
    Toast: [regarding Immortan Joe] He pumps it up from deep within the earth. He calls it "Aqua Cola" and claims it all for himself.
    The Dag: And because he owns it, he owns all of us.
    Keeper of the Seeds: I don't like him already.
    The Valkyrie: It'll take two weeks to skirt the wall of mountains.
    Max: No. I suggest we go back the same way we came. Through the canyon.
    Toast: [after a pause] It's open. We know that, right? He brought all his war parties through.
    Max: So we take the War Rig and charge it right through the middle of them. We can decouple the tanker at the pass, shut it off behind us.
    Keeper of the Seeds: [she and the Dag make the same gesture] Kaboom!
    Imperator Furiosa: And how exactly do we take the Citadel, assuming we're still alive by then?
    Toast: If we can block the pass, it'll be easy. All that's left are his War Pups, and War Boys too sick to fight.
    Capable: And we'll be with Nux. He's a War Boy. He'll be bringing us home, bringing back what's stolen, as he's meant to.
    [Everyone turns to look at Nux]
    Nux: Yeah. Feels like hope.
    Keeper of the Seeds: I like this plan. We could start again, just like the old days!
    Max: Look, it'll be a hard day. [points to the horizon] But I guarantee you that a hundred and sixty days ride that way, there's nothing but salt. [points back] At least that way we might be able to, together, come across some kind of redemption.
    [He holds out his hand. After a pause, Furiosa takes it and clasps tight]
    [At night, a white dot falls from the sky]
    Toast the Knowing: Look.
    V-Melita: That's what you call a satellite.
    Toast: Miss Giddy told us about those. They used to bounce messages across the earth.
    V-Melita: Shows. Everyone in the old world had a show.
    Toast: Do you think there's somebody still out there? Sending shows?
    V-Melita: [Looking out across the empty desert] Who knows? Those are the plains of silence.

## About Mad Max: Fury Road

* We were going to do an anime before it was delayed a second time when we were rained out of Australia. But because we were delayed that didn't happen, and so we've got that script, and we've got another one.
