RADIO: {I didn't like it then. I don't like it now.}
RADIO: {This isn't about personal preferences. It was, then. This is about survival. This is about rights.}
RADIO: {Is it? Where were you seven years ago?}
RADIO: {A different person. Faith comes to people at different points in their lives. I found mine slower than perhaps you'd approve.}
RADIO: {It isn't my approval you should be seeking. The people we've hurt. The things our ideology did to this country, the roads it paved…}
RADIO: {You can't blame us for this country. They salted the earth before we even existed. But it won't stop. Fear is a flame, child. It won't stop until there's nothing left to burn.}

RADIO: [long silence]
RADIO: {Unless, of course, you're referring to my real father. You could ask him too, I suppose, except that he's probably dead. Just like all the others.}
RADIO: {You know as well as I do, my dear, that is an honor and a promise you can't deliver on. As honored as I would.}
RADIO: {Let me help you. Some other way. Please.}
RADIO: {But you're circling the point. Your kind are on the precipice of extinction. You father — both of them — saw the error of their ways too late to make a difference. How long until the UK invades the US? How long until this ends in nuclear war? Then what?}
RADIO: [longer silence]
RADIO: {One percent of the population is a vanishingly small number of supporters. It's only a matter of time before that number reaches zero.}
RADIO: {We aren't an endangered species! We're human fucking beings, the same as you. So you can take the divisive rhetoric and—}
