5 quotesConflict Over Identity and Ownership in Barbie Land
Ken
Yeah. Buckle up, babe. Because Barbie Land is now Ken Land! And it’s gonna be just like Century City in Los Angeles, because they had it all figured out in Century City. The minute you get out of your car, you’re like, "I can’t believe how great this place is"!
Barbie
No, no, no. They don’t have it figured out in Century City because we failed them.
Ken
No, YOU FAILED ME! Out there, I was somebody. And when I walked down the street… people respected me just for who I am...
Barbie
You can’t do this. This is Barbie Land. The Barbies worked hard and they dreamed hard to make it everything that it is! You… you can’t just undo it in a day!
Ken
Literally and figuratively, watch me. Now, if you’ll excuse me... this is my Mojo Dojo Casa House, it’s not Barbie’s Mojo Dojo Casa House. Right? How’s that feel? It is not fun, is it?

I just don't know who I am without you.
Barbie
You're Ken.

But it's Barbie and Ken. There's no just Ken. That's why I was created. I only exist within the warmth of your gaze. Without it, I'm just another blond guy who can't do flips.
