- (describing the character of Immortan Joe) As the Immortan, I am seeing myself as someone who is here to raise us all up, to make things better. To give these kids more of a life by giving them blood from other people that I've caught and a breeding program that's going to actually improve us.

Let's latch another one to another one, let's keep all this going because this is going to keep us moving, this is going to keep us on top. And that's what dictators do, isn't it?
