Tyrell: What-- What seems to be the problem?
Roy: PeakOil.
Tyrell: PeakOil. Well, I'm afraid that's a little out of my jurisdiction, you--
Roy: I want more oil, fucker!
Tyrell: The facts of oil. To make an alteration in the growth of the global capitalist economic system is fatal. Any growth pyramid scheme cannot be revised once it's been established.
Roy: Why not?
Tyrell: Because by the second year of interruption, any countries that have undergone economic contractions will give rise to economic refugees like rats leaving a sinking ship. Then the ship sinks.
Roy: What about EMS recombination.
Tyrell: We've already tried it. Ethanol Methanol Sugarcane as a substitute agent a potent mutagen It created a price rise so lethal the market was dead before stock has left the farm.
Roy: Then a repressive progressive tax that blocks the margin calls.
Tyrell: Wouldn't obstruct price rise, but it does give rise to an error in arbitrage so that the newly formed derivative products carries the imbalance and you've got a price rise again. But, uh, this-- all of this is academic. Fuel prices were made as cheap as we could make them.
Roy: But not to last.
Tyrell: The oil that burns twice as bright burns half as long. And you have burned oil so very very brightly, Roy. Look at you. You're the prodigal son. You're quite a prize!
Roy: I've done questionable things. (Like invade Iraq)
Tyrell: Also extraordinary things. Revel in your time.
Roy: Nothing the god of thermodynamics wouldn't let you in heaven for.
