"What a load of horse hooey."
"We have a counterpoint?"
"Yeah. Thanksgiving isn't about blending of two cultures. It's about one culture wiping out another. And then they make animated specials about the part where, with the maize and the big, big belt buckles. They don't show you the next scene, where all the bison die and Squanto takes a musket ball in the stomach."
"Well, I think that's a shame. I love a ritual sacrifice."
"It's not really a one of those."
"To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie."
"I just can't take all this mamby-pamby boo-hooing about the bloody indians."

"You won. All right? You came in and you killed them and you took their land. That's what conquering nations do. It's what Caesar did, and he's not going around saying, "I came, I conquered, I felt really bad about it." The history of the world isn't people making friends. You had better weapons, and you massacred them. End of story."
