JOE: Um, they're okay.
XI: His early works were a little too radical for my taste. But when the Little Red Book came out in '64, I think he really came into his own, politically and ideologically. The whole book has a clear, concise message, and a new level of revolutionary fervor that really gives his ideas a big boost. He's been compared to Karl Marx, but I think Mao has a far more radical, uncompromising vision.
JOE: Hey, Shinzo?
XI: Yes, Joe?
JOE: Why are there copies of the People's Daily all over the place? Do you... Do you have a dog? A little Red Guard or something?
XI: No, Joe.
JOE: Is that a Mao suit?
XI: Yes, it is. In '66, Mao released this; Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung, his most influential work. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "Serve the People". A slogan so catchy, most people probably don't fully understand its implications. But they should, because it's not just about slogans and propaganda. It's also a personal statement about Mao himself. Hey, Joe!
Xi murders Joe with an axe
XI: Try getting a reservation at Tiananmen Square now, you fuckin' counter-revolutionary bastard!
