And while evil triumphs, and your rigid pacifism crumbles into blood-stained dust, the only victory afforded to you is that you stuck true to your guns. You were a coward... to your last whimper."]]

'''Cell:''' That right there... ''that'' is why I despise you. You know what they all have in common? The Saiyans might be fools, the humans might be weak, and the Namekian might not belong... but they're still out there fighting. Not just for their lives, but for this ''dung hill'' of a world. But none of them, boy--not a one--shares that trait with you so vile, it drives me to retch! You, Gohan... are a ''coward''.\\

->''There had been many towns, mostly of a strong religious persuasion of one kind of another, that had renounced violence, renounced weaponry; that had proclaimed a new era of peace and harmony following the Apocalypse. All had fallen prey to the men of violence who had renounced nothing. Sometimes they had been merely invaded, enslaved. Sometimes, dreadfully, serfdom had been the least of their worries.''

->'''Sturdy:''' The most brilliant strategy ever conceived; nonviolent direct action.\\
'''Robert:''' Come again?\\
'''Diane:''' You confront the oppressor and his unjust system, incite him to violence without resorting to violence yourself.\\
'''Robert:''' Why would we do that?\\
'''Diane:''' [[DoomedMoralVictor To prove our moral superiority.]]\\
'''Robert:''' So we make them want to attack ''us''...\\
'''Sturdy:''' Yes.\\
'''Robert:''' And then, we let them?\\
'''Sturdy:''' Exactly.\\
'''Robert:''' And we don't fight back?\\
'''Sturdy:''' No.\\
'''Robert:''' What about self-defense?\\
'''Sturdy:''' Absolutely not. The only self-defense allowed is singing, and a special kind of nonviolent martial art which protects your attacker at all times; "hard chin, soft hand".\\
'''Robert:''' ...Do you even ''hear'' yourselves?\\
'''Diane:''' We're ready for anything, Robert. They can arrest us, beat us-\\
'''Robert:''' ''Beat us?'' I think as a people we've taken enough beatings! Don't you think?\\
'''Sturdy:''' Beat us, stab us, sic dogs on us, light us on fire-\\
'''Robert:''' ''Light us on fire?''\\
'''Woman:''' Not that we're expecting that!\\
'''Diane:''' But we are prepared for that to happen.\\
'''Robert:''' [[CruelAndUnusualDeath You can't get prepared to get lit on fire!]]\\
'''Narrator:''' [[OnlySaneMan In defense of Robert,]] the strategy of nonviolent direct action, when you actually think about it, is completely insane.
