    Two lines from K:

    "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it!"

    "There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Korilian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable planet. The only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they do not know about it!"

    Honestly, did you even pay attention during the movie?
