Because you""re selfish! You hoard your gasoline....Now, my prisoners say you plan to take your gasoline out of the Wasteland.You sent them out this morning to find a vehicle.A rig big enough o haul that fat tank of gas.What a puny plan! Look around you.This is the Valley of Death....Humungus will not be defied!"Toward the conclusion of his speech during the stand-off, the Feral Kid (who emerged from a nearby tunnel opening) flung his metal boomerang at the Marauders.Scout: How old were you?Jem: Six.Scout: Old as I am now.Jem: Uh huh.Scout: Was Mama pretty?Jem: Uh, huh.Scout: Was Mama nice?Jem: Uh, huh.Scout: Did you love her?Jem: Yes.Scout: Did I love her?Jem: Yes.Scout: Do you miss her?Jem: Uh, huh.They are trying to come to terms with the ambiguities and uncertainties of their lives, and justice (and injustice) in he world.
