Skyscraper - Demi Lovato

SAM When I was downstairs, I made a decision. I’m gonna register with the Republican Party, and I’ll tell you why, if you’re curious. It’s because they’re a freedom-loving people.
AINSLEY We also like beef.
SAM You know, you insist government is depraved for not legislating against what we can see on the newsstands, or what we can see in an art exhibit, or what we can burn in protest, or which sex we’re allowed to have sex with, or a woman’s right to choose, but don’t you dare try to regulate this deadly weapon I have concealed on me, for that would encroach against my freedom.
AINSLEY Yeah? And Democrats believe in free speech as long as it isn’t prayer while you’re standing in school. You believe in the Freedom of Information Act except if you want to find out if your fourteen-year-old daughter’s had an abortion…
SAM We believe in the ERA.
AINSLEY Well, go get ‘em.
SAM How can you have an objection to something that says…?
AINSLEY Because it’s humiliating! A new amendment that we vote on, declaring that I am equal under the law to a man. I am mortified to discover there’s reason to believe I wasn’t before. I am a citizen of this country. I am not a special subset in need of your protection. I do not have to have to have my rights handed down to me by a bunch of old, white men. The same Article 14 that protects you, protects me. And I went to law school just to make sure. And with that, I’m going back down to the mess, because I thought I may have seen, there, a peach.
SAM I could’ve countered that, but I’d already moved on to other things in my head.
