Dr Raymond Cocteau is the sinister, smooth-talking leader of the new ultra-sterile society of ‘San Angeles’. He has created a meticulously safe and spotless ‘utopia’ where anything remotely dangerous is illegal, all needs are provided for, and rebellious thoughts are, well… unthinkable. As a result the inhabitants live a cowed life that is an impotent shadow of former times.
However, Cocteau has a problem: not everyone subscribes to his heavy handed vision of how things should be. The natives are restless, and however hard he tries to maintain the illusion of the sterile facade he has created, the growing reality of a disenfranchised and abandoned underclass threatens to break through and undermine it.
Demolition Man Quotes
Spartan and Huxley enter and see Cocteau’s face speaking to them from dozens of monitors:
Dr. Cocteau: Forgive my lack of bodily disposition, but I do have an entire city government to run.
John Spartan: Yeah, well run this: you programmed Phoenix’s rehabilitation program to turn him into a terrorist, and I don’t think his escape was an accident either!
Lenina Huxley: Very subtle.
John Spartan: Thank you.
Dr. Cocteau: John Spartan, this display of barbaric behavior was unacceptable even in your time!
John Spartan: Yeah. But it worked.
