Cobra Commander: Okay that's, you know that's a super-villain threat.
John Galt: What is?
Cobra Commander: The whole 'Oh if you're a prisoner or a guest is up to you' kind of thing is just something you say to a prisoner who you are trying to coerce into helping you. It's obviously a threat.
John Galt: No you see you misunderstand. I'm letting her know that she doesn't have to be a prisoner if she just does everything I tell her to and agrees with my goals and helps me.
Cobra Commander: And if she doesn't...
John Galt: I don't have to worry about that, because as we're all radically self interested people here who believe only in following our own desires we naturally are all in perfect agreement about what we should do.
Cobra Commander: Right. But hypothetically speaking if she didn't actually agree with you and you had to do something about that.
John Galt: We have... contingency plans. That's been alluded to in a vague sense.
Cobra Commander: Okay you know alluding vaguely to what you might do with potential interlopers, again we're still pretty firmly in the villain territory here.
John Galt: Nonsense! The world is crafted in such a way that we'll never have to address those issues, so there's no real sense in wondering about the morality of them. We just have to make a little note here or there that implies we're ready for the situation to show how competent and thus morally righteous we are.
Cobra Commander: Okay but the problem with all that is that I'm here and I'm completely planning on robbing you of your super motor, because do you have any idea that stealing super technology from people is easily my second or third favorite thing to do?
John Galt: I'll stop you by doing what I do best. Nothing.
Cobra Commander: Nothing. Nothing is what you're best at.
John Galt: Indeed.
Cobra Commander: But you've done so much! I mean, you've done too much!
John Galt: Well I mean I've done things in the service of doing nothing. I meant more that I was doing everything in my power to not help the world in any way.
Cobra Commander: Oh I get that but seriously this has been bugging me for just the short list you've created a super tech powered perfectly fertile hidden valley inaccessible from the outside world that was yet somehow stocked with farming supplies, livestock, and plenty of machinery made out of components that couldn't possibly have all been acquired in the area that are all being utilized by the wealthiest geniuses in the world who after a short dialogue...
John Galt: Monologue. Sorry I hate to interrupt a good speech but...
Cobra Commander: Oh yes, sorry 'Monologue', wouldn't want to imply that anyone had actually any discussion or decision about all this. No instead after talking at these captains of industry and law and medicine for about an hour you convinced these people who are by your admission obsessed with material wealth and financial prosperity to abandon their material goods and the comforts they bring to set out on a dirt farming life because despite being all radically self interested they're all shockingly comfortable with communal living working towards a common goal which just so happens to be the destruction of the very world that created them and gave them the opportunities that they exploited to become the people they were before you met them, which is even more shocking considering you were apparently just some crazy crackpot inventor who quit his job when you set out on this insane quest.
John Galt: And yet I succeeded like it wasn't even a challenge. Why you might even say my heroic triumph was rather boring compared to how interesting a story you painted it as, almost as though stuff that might have been entertaining or at least in need of some kind of focus to explain were just completely glossed over by my improbable capabilities. Probably because I'm the best human being ever.
Cobra Commander: Objectively speaking, I'm really looking forward to destroying you.
