(taglines) Digger Rockwell That was the most important thing that my grandaddy taught me, see, is Mother Nature, she loved a winner. If we can't control the course of nature, at least we can control the narrative. Words are perception. And perception is reality. It's all finally reduced to one question: why don't we just stop drilling all together? Well, the simple answer is... BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT ME TO! Deep down inside, you want me to keep pumping, and you want me to keep producing! Why? Why? Cause every one of our great nations and every one of you, no matter how conscientious you pretend to be, you wanna drive around in the cheapest fuel! You wanna keep your lights on, your heat and air conditioner running! You want dirt cheap tickets to Mallorca, so you can roast your pale asses in a hammock, you wanna carve into a good steak! Yeah, you wanna two-day delivery for shit that you don't need, you wanna charge up them cellphone batteries so you can gawk at your TikTok and your YouTube. You want energy, energy so that you can ask AI to solve the very same disasters that it is fueling! You want freedom! Freedom to bask in the comfort of your unsustainable lives! When all else fails, you just... You hit 'em with the truth. Hit 'em with the hard truth. Just... Bang, bang, bang! Whoo! Whoo! President Compson Gentlemen, we find ourselves in a pickle. A great big dildo of a pickle! Now Digger here got us into this mess, and Digger's gonna dig us out again! Fuck this iceberg! Let's dance!

Mr. Rockwell is a man who would roast our children alive if he thought he could sell them for a dime. Dialogue Digger: Help me shape the story. Dr. Ganesh: They already know the story. Digger: They know the facts. The story is yet to be told. Dr. Ganesh: Before you officially fire me or kill me, there's something I have to brief you on. Digger: Well, I'm not gonna kill you. I have people who would do that for me... I'm jokin'. Sorta. President Compson: Okay, you know what? This is not my problem. An ice shelf shook loose. So? Happens every other week, I watch Nat Geo!

Not huge, but I've gotta tell you she had the most ridiculously sized... Digger: THE ICEBERG! Dr. Ganesh: Kimberly is headed straight for Alaska. And as you can see sir Kimberly is 30 times the size of Manhattan. Digger: Stop calling it Kimberly. That iceberg broke from Russia. It is Russian! It's name's not Kimberly. It's.. it's... Krem...

Reverend Nathaniel Moore: It's because this man embodies the whole entire world. By the will of God, by the will of the voters of the United States. President Compson: Digger listen to me carefully. I have cancer in my asshole, that's why the world has cancer in its asshole. You see? Digger: No. President Compson: I'm gonna nuke China! [General Fitzgerald leans in, intrigued] President Compson: I'm gonna reduce it to 300 mushroom clouds of yellow fire rising to a blood red sky! Joey: Mr. President.

Vice President: Oh... oh... let's um... Let's think about this Mr. President, hmm? Let's uh... think about our Bible. Thou shall not kill? President Compson: I don't need it. It's all in my head now, it's clear. The Bible was written by Hebrews, not Americans. President Compson: I'm gonna open that case, and I'm gonna push that little red button, and I'm gonna heal the world! Vice President: There's no red button it that case Sir! President Compson: What! What the hell is in there? General Fitzgerald: Three books! You have to read them all before you launch the nukes. President Compson: No red button? Vice President: Uh it's an urban myth.
