What's wrong with this country, Marty?

What's wrong with this country, Marty?

Bishop just looks dumb. Both men sit down on the Cray Computers' padded "seat".

COSMO
Money. You taught me that. Evil defense
contractors had it, noble causes did not.
Politicians are bought and sold like so much
chattel. Our problems multiply. Pollution,
crime, drugs, poverty, disease, hunger,
despair; we throw gobs of money at them!
The problems always get worse. Why is that?
Because money's most powerful ability is to
allow bad people to continue doing bad
things at the expense of those who don't
have it.

BISHOP
I agree. Now who did you say you were
working for?

COSMO
Oh, that's just my day job. Listen, when I
was in prison, I learned that everything in
this world, including money, operates not on
reality...

BISHOP
...but the perception of reality.
