"At 2:29 a.m. on 11/9/16, our new leader's image was projected onto the Empire State Building. [A shoot of Trump's face projected on the building] How the fuck did this happen?"

"We wanna make it perfecto!"

"I’m sick and tired of people telling me that America is the greatest country. Because we can whip your ass?"

"Taking babies away from their mother, and-and locking up one or the other and separating them because they did no harm to anybody. They just didn't comply with the stupid regulations. Well, that's a crime against humanity, in my judgment. The Statue of Liberty stands there. You know, "Send me your tired, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. I lift my... my lamp beside the golden door!" Where? Where? Uh, we don't see that in this country, and it pains me. And, uh... that's the world in which we live. And, uh... we've gotta change it or perish."

"How did we get here, and how the f--k do we get out?"

"Academy Award winner Michael Moore is back, as he turns his attention to examine Donald Trump's election win on November 9, 2016."

"From the Oscar-winning director of 'Ḅowlịṅg ḟor Çolumbịṇe'"

"They think in terms of "we", not "me"."

"If this is what can happen between supposed enemies, if one enemy can hold out his hand and offer to heal, then what else is possible? That's when I heard that the man who runs the biggest anti-Michael Moore website was going to have to shut it down. He could no longer afford to keep it up because his wife was ill and he couldn't afford to pay for her health insurance. He was faced with a choice of either keep attacking me or pay for his wife's health. Fortunately, he chose his wife. But something seemed wrong about being forced into such a decision. Why, in a free country, shouldn't he be able to have health insurance and exercise his First Amendment right to run me into the ground? So I wrote him a check for the 12,000 dollars he needed to keep his wife insured and in treatment, and sent it to him anonymously. His wife got better and his website is still going strong."

"In the meantime, I'm going to get the government to do my laundry."

"We got issue in America. Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their... their love with women all across the country."

"This might hurt a little."

"What seems to be the problem?"

"Get well soon."

"For many Americans, laughter isn't the best medicine - it's the only medicine."

"Well, the million tourists never came to Flint. The Hyatt went bankrupt and was put up for sale, Waterstreet Pavillion saw most of its stores go out of business, and only six months after opening, Autoworld closed due to a lack of visitors. I guess it was like expecting a million people a year to go to New Jersey to Chemicalworld, or a million people going to Valdez, Alaska for Exxonworld. Some people just don't like to celebrate human tragedy while on vacation."

"Well I failed to bring Roger to Flint. As we neared the end of the twentieth century, the rich were richer, the poor, poorer. And people everywhere now had a lot less lint, thanks to the lint rollers made in my hometown. It was truly the dawn of a new era."

"Meanwhile, the more fortunate in Flint were holding their annual Great Gatsby party at the home of one of GM's founding families. To show that they weren't totally insensitive to the plight of others, they hired local people to be human statues at the party."

"Although most people in Flint were now too poor to afford a room at the Hyatt, the hotel allowed the public on opening day to ride the city's only escalator."

"My favorite was the exhibit sponsored by General Motors: a puppet auto worker singing a love song to the robot replacing him on the assembly line. The song was called "Me and My Buddy"."

"These people who buy their kids new school clothes instead of paying the rent need to change their system."

"I can't imagine somebody getting married to someone as poor as you. It gets kind of rough. Put two poor people in the same house... I always tell women "You can be poor by yourself, you don't need any help". And she just got some help, being poor."

"It was the morning of April 20, 1999, and it was pretty much like any other morning in America. The Farmer did his chores. The milkman made his deliveries. The President bombed another country whose name we couldn't pronounce. Out in Fargo, North Dakota, Cary McWilliams went on his morning walk. Back in Michigan, Mrs Hughes welcomed her students for another day of school. And out in a little town in Colorado, two boys went bowling at 6 in the morning. Yes, it was a typical day in the United States of America."

"The story of a rebel and his mike."

"This was my first gun. I couldn't wait to go out and shoot up the neighborhood."

"Well, here's my first question. Do you think it's kind of dangerous handing out guns at a bank?"

"What if I had a spear?"

"Suddenly, our children had become little monsters."

"The media, the corporations, the politicians... have all done such a good job of scaring the American public, it's come to the point where they don't need to give any reason at all."

"I left the Heston estate atop Beverly Hills and walked back into the real world. To an America living and breathing in fear. Where gun sales are now at an all record high. And where, in the end, it all comes back to 'Bowling for Columbine'."

"Yes, it was a glorious time to be an American."

"Thank you for not shooting me Nathan Tucker."

""Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective? Or have you ever been committed to a mental institution?" Well, I've never been committed to a mental institution. What does that mean, have I "ever been adjudicated mentally defective"?"

"Oh, with a crime. Okay, so if I'm just normally mentally defective but not criminal..."

"[Amazed at how Canadians do not lock their front doors (in the day time) after opening them in Toronto] As an American, I gotta say this all seemed kind of strange. Until I looked up at the TV in the bar and noticed what they watched for their evening news. They're friends of ours. We'll certainly listen to them courteously and carefully, but you don't just make war just 'cause someone says so. The Canadians weren't being pumped full of fear. And their politicians seemed to talk kind of funny."

"You don't need no gun control. You know what you need? Bullet control. I think all bullets should cost $5000. You know why? If a bullet cost $5000 there'd be no more innocent bystanders. People would stop and go, "Damn, he musta done something! Shit, they put $50,000 worth of bullets in his ass!""

"And people would think before they killed somebody if a bullet cost $5,000. It'd be like, "Man, I will blow your fuckin' head off...if I could afford it! I'm gonna get another job, start saving some money, and you a dead man! You better hope I can't get no bullets on layaway!""
