From the Movies or from the book-stump us, or tweak our newbies by asking a question we have to answer-Oh, I want easter eggs from the movies! but also from Atlas Shrugged, the book. Let's compile a bunch of questions to tempt gulchers to delve-either re-watch Parts I-III or crack the spine of that beloved piece of life-changing novel. no rules-have fun. You don't have to answer any of the questions-just give points for the ones you think are good-later I will post again and ask for answers. Ready, set, Go!

    When Dagney met with Quentin Daniels, to ask him if he would work on the motor she had found, what did he tell her was his current job?

    Thanks, XenokRoy, for picking out my favorite quote in the whole of AS.

    Floyd Ferris to Hank Rearden:

    "Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed? We want them broken. "You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against . . . We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted, and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

    Well done, autumnleaves. The Octopus was meant to describe Rearden, but it describes government far better.

    "Who him? Oh he's just some pirate trying to give me a gold brick that he insists belongs to me. "

    Crimony. I barely come in here and when I do I get roped into splitting hairs over the original request.
    Should I just answer my own trivia questions?

    In the last chapter of Part II Dagney had dinner with a man. What was his occupation before the financial crash?

    What was the worst line in AS III? (hint: Dagny said it. hint #2, the line wasn't in the book.)
