Judge Dredd: [Mean Machine points his robotic arm, which has multiple blades on the end, at Dredd] Does that come with a fork, handsome?
Warden Miller: [after giving Rico his package - a small box] What is it?
Rico: It's an ancient puzzle that contains the meaning of life.
Warden Miller: [laughs] So tell me, Rico, what is the meaning of life?
[Rico converts the box into a gun and points it at the Warden's throat]
Rico: It ends.
[he shoots the Warden in the throat]
Chief Justice Fargo: The blind lady.
Judge Dredd: Who is she, sir?
Chief Justice Fargo: Justice before your time. We should never have taken justice out of her hands.
Judge Dredd: You put order to chaos, sir.
Chief Justice Fargo: Yes, we solved many problems, but created many more.
Fergie: Hallelujah, brother!
Pa Angel: Wait a minute. Can it be? Can it be that from the city of the fallen we have one of the faithful?
Fergie: Amen, brother! Praise the Lord! I'm a believer!
Judge Dredd: Fergie, don't do it!
Pa Angel: It sounds like we have a believer in the gallery.
Cut him down.
[Fergie's arms are released from the ropes that have been holding him above the ground]
Judge Dredd: Fergie, you're making a big mistake.
Fergie: Well, Dredd, maybe the law doesn't make mistakes, but I'm free and you're toast!
Judge Dredd: Actually, you're toast. I forgot to mention it. Your new friends,
they're cannibals.
Pa Angel: Fresh meat. Prepare the supplicant for sacrifice.
Fergie: No, wait. You can't eat me! I've got eczema! I've got warts! I've had gonorrhoea! Eat Dredd, he works out!
Judge Griffin: My fellow Judges, have we forgotten the lessons of history? However quickly these block wars can be contained, it's clear that they're becoming an epidemic. An epidemic that should be dealt with immediately. The only solution is a tougher criminal code.
Judge Silver: Our situation gets worse every day. 73 citizen riots in 16 different sectors
in the last 2 months alone.
Judge McGruder: Violent crimes rising at 15% every quarter. If we don't increase our resources they will be inadequate in less than three years.
Judge Esposito: Three years? Our resources are inadequate now!
Chief Justice Fargo: My fellow council members, as a city we continue to grow, and growth is
painful. 65 million people living in an area designed for no more than 20. It's not enough that they rely on us for food, clothes, water, clean air...
Judge Griffin: Chief Justice, this city is in chaos! For social order we need tighter reigns! Incarceration hasn't worked as a deterrent, I say we expand execution to include lesser crimes!
Chief Justice
Fargo: My fellow judges, I was barely in my teens when I put on this badge. When the time comes for me to take it off, please let me do so knowing that it still stands for freedom and not for oppression.
Fergie: [outside the city walls] Dredd, there's no way in. Are you even listening to me? We can't just knock on the wall and say "Hello, Cursed Earth pizza".
Judge Dredd: There is a way in. Six years ago, two refugees figured it out. The vent to the city's incinerator, there's a burst twice a minute. That means somebody could run through that tube and have
30 seconds before it flames again.
Fergie: And these refugees, they made it through, right?
Judge Dredd: Actually, they were roasted. But the theory's sound. Shall we?
[he walks away]
Fergie: Maybe we should consider other theories? Dredd?
[Dredd is putting some stuff into his locker, Hershey walks up to him, quietly]
Judge Dredd: [from behind his locker door] I can hear you thinking.
Judge Hershey: Caught your lecture today. Is that really what you think the cadets need to hear?
Judge Dredd: What I told them was the truth.
Judge Hershey:
Your truth, maybe. You made it sound like our lives are practically over!
Judge Dredd: Don't you think parts are, Hershey?
Judge Hershey: I have a personal life, I have friends.
Judge Dredd: You're one of the smartest of a new breed, but you've only been on the street a year. You haven't gotten used to the isolation yet.
Judge Hershey: No. No, I don't think that's right. No one should be alone all the time. I mean, is that really what it's been like for you? Haven't you... haven't you ever had a friend?
Judge Dredd: Yes. Once.
Judge Hershey: What happened?
[Dredd shuts his locker and walks away. Hershey follows him]
Judge
Hershey: Dredd? I want to know, what happened?
Judge Dredd: I judged him.
[Geiger gives Rico the package he ordered. The case slides open to reveal a Lawgiver gun. Rico reaches to pick it up]
Geiger: No, wait a second! Don't touch it.
Rico: Why not?
Geiger: Well, that's a Lawgiver. That's programed to only recognise a Judge's hand. You touch that, it'll take your arm off!
[Rico grabs the gun
and points it in Geiger's face. The gun has accepted his grip]
Rico: Gee, how do you like that? I must be a Judge.
[he shoots Geiger]
Fergie: What are you doing here?
Judge Dredd: I was convicted of a crime. Wrongly convicted.
Fergie: [laughs] Really? That's kinda weird! What are the odds? Two wrongly convicted guys sitting right next to each other?
Judge Dredd: You received the sentence the law required.
Fergie: Five
years, just for saving my own ass? That was a mistake!
Judge Dredd: The law doesn't make mistakes.
Fergie: Really? Then how do you explain what happened to you? You can't, can you? Great. Mister
[mimics Dredd's voice]
Fergie: "I am the law" can't. So maybe this is some kind of typo. Maybe it's a glitch. Or maybe it's
poetic justice!
Rico: You left the DNA in there for over 30 years, sooner or later somebody's gonna clean out the fridge.
Pa Angel: [introducing his third son, a hideously disfigured man with cybernetic body parts] And this here is Mean. We had to make some alterations when he was a child. Well, the Cursed Earth's a tough place on young folks.
[turns the dial on Mean's metal skull]
Pa Angel: I now have him set on '1'. I don't suggest you make him angry.
[a ceremony is held as Chief Justice Fargo is taking "the long walk" out of Mega City One and into the Cursed Earth]
Female Cadet: Let his name be recorded in every place of honor. Let him take the law he served so well to those who have it not. Let him be written in our hearts and our memories forever.
