12. Tyler Durden's Speech
From Fight Club (1999)
Delivered by Brad Pitt
Tyler Durden: I look around, I look around. I see a lot of new faces.
[Men laugh.]
Shut up. Which means a lot of you been breakin' the first two rules of Fight Club.
Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables—slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
(To be continued...)
A/N: OMFG, I have a HUGE man-crush on this movie! And this speech spoke to me on so many different levels. If you haven't watched Fight Club, I seriously recomend you watch it... And if I ever get the novel, I'm definitely gonna read it! ( ^_^ )
