->''That’s what apartheid did: It convinced every group that it was because the other race that it didn’t get into the club. It’s basically a bouncer at the door telling you, “We can’t let you in because of your friend Darren and his ugly shoes.” So you look at Darren and say, “Screw you, Black Darren. You’re holding me back.” Then when Darren goes up, the bouncer says, “No, it’s actually your friend Sizwe and his weird hair.” So Darren says, “Screw you, Sizwe,” and now everyone hates everyone. But the truth is that none of you were ever getting into the club.''

->Marty Rathbun, one of the most outspoken [[DefectorFromDecadence ex-Scientologists]], says in the documentary that the Queen Bee of Scientology, David Miscavige, immediately threw a side-eye at [[Creator/NicoleKidman Nicole]] from the beginning, because her father was a famous psychologist in Australia and we all know what those crazy Scientologists think of psychology. David labeled her a PTS (Potential Trouble Source). Nicole somehow managed to pull [[Creator/TomCruise Tommy]] away from Scientology and he kept his distance from those crazies from 1992 to 2001. While filming ''Eyes Wide Shut'', he didn’t even return any of David Miscavige’s calls. That’s when David told Marty that his job was to break Nicole and Tommy up...Tommy and Nicole’s kids, Isabella and Connor, were “re-educated” and Scientology turned them against their mother.\\\
Once Nicole and Tommy divorced, he ran back into the arms of David Miscavige and got in really deep with Scientology.
