Understanding Feelings and Reality in Life

Uncle George Now, look, I ain't trying to get in your business... but, I mean I do know a little something about being pissed. I mean, it's all - You know, it's all just feelings, man. From females to friends to funerals... it's all about the feelings. I just want you to recognize the difference between what you feel and what's real. That way you don't look back on life with a bunch of regret.

The Purge: Election Year

Insurance Premium Increase Before The Purge

Laney Rucker What the hell's going on?

Joe Dixon The damn insurance company. They just raised the premium on my Purge coverage. By thousands. The day before the damn Purge. If I don't pay it by tomorrow, I have no Purge coverage for this store.

Marcos They can't do that.

Joe Dixon Yeah, well, they just did it.

Joe Dixon Yeah, but that's not enough. If I have no insurance, I am screwed. I'll just have to protect this place myself.

Laney Rucker Are you crazy?

Marcos That's not a good idea, boss.

Laney Rucker Look, we love this place, too, Joe. I've been coming here since I was born. But it's just stuff. It can be replaced. You can't be.

Joe Dixon Yeah, but what about what you do on Purge Night, Laney? Huh? Is that not the pot calling the kettle brown? No?

Laney Rucker That's different, Joe, and you know that. I'm protected, and you won't be.

Joe Dixon This is all I got, guys. This is my slice of the pie. Man, I cannot, I can't lose this place. I just... I can't lose this place.
