Fight Club
Tyler: Gentlemen, welcome to Fight Club. First Rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club. Second rule of Fight Club is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB! Third rule of Fight Club, someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Forth rule only two guys to a fight, fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule: no shirts no shoes. Seventh rule: Fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first night at fight club, you have to fight.
Narrator: You don't ask questions is the first rule of Project Mayhem. The second rule of Project Mayhem is you don't ask questions. The third rule in Project Mayhem is no excuses. The fourth rule is no lies. The fifth rule is you have to trust Tyler. When Tyler invented Project Mayhem, Tyler said the goal had nothing to do with other people. Tyler didn't care if other people got hurt or not. The goal was to teach that each man had the power to control history. Each of us can take control of the world.
We are the middle children of history, with no purpose or place. We have no great war, or great depression. The great war is a spiritual war. The great depression is our lives. We were raised by television to believe that we'd be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars - but we won't. And we're learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed-off.
- does this sound like it would be accepted by:
- the son of the Man In The Grey Flannel Suit (Organization Man)?
- an AlQaeda recruit?
- you?
