Agent-CEO Smith:
Why, Mr. Pilot, why? Why? Why do you do it? Why? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something, for more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know?
Is it professionalism, or work rule changes, perhaps the opportunity to work until you die? Could it be for money? Illusions, Mr. Pilot, vagaries of perception, temporary constructs of a feeble aviator intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Fare-trix itself. Although... Only a pilot's mind can invent something as insipid as ALPA.
You must be able to see it, Mr. Pilot, you must know it by now. You can't win, it is pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Pilot, why, why do you persist?
F/O-Neo:
Because I choose to.
