I swear … it's not a world of men … it's not a world of men, Machine … it's a
world of clockwatchers, bureaucrats, officeholders … what it is, it's a
fucked-up world … there's no adventure to it. (Pause.) Dying breed. Yes it
is. (Pause.) We are the members of a dying breed. That's … that's … that's
why we have to stick together.
David Mamet-- _Glengarry Glen Ross_, 1983
