Atlas Shrugged: Part I (2011)

Paul Johansson: John Galt

Quotes 

• Ellis Wyatt : Who the hell are you?

  John Galt : My name is John Galt. I live in a place we call Atlantis, and I think you'd fit in there. It's a place where heroes live; where those who *want* to be heroes live. The government we have there respects each of us as individuals and as producers. Actually, beyond a few courthouses there isn't much government at all. Bottom line, Mr Wyatt; if you're weary of a government that refuses to limit its power over you, if you're ready at this moment to claim the moral right to your own life, then we should leave, and I'll take you there. I'll take you to Atlantis.

• John Galt : Midas Mulligan.

  Midas Mulligan : Who's asking?

  John Galt : Someone who knows what it's like to work for himself and not let others feed off the profits of his energy.

  Midas Mulligan : That's funny. That's exactly what I've been thinking.

  John Galt : We're alike, you and I.

  Midas Mulligan : Who are you?
