Quote #1

MISS GIDDY: They are not your property.

IMMORTAN JOE: Miss Giddy?

MISS GIDDY: You cannot own a human being. Sooner or later, someone pushes back!

IMMORTAN JOE: Where is she taking them?

MISS GIDDY: She didn't take them. They begged her to go!

IMMORTAN JOE: Where is she taking them?

MISS GIDDY: A long way from you.

You tell him, Miss Giddy. Left behind by the women, Miss Giddy defies Immortan Joe to his face when he arrives to check on his wives. That takes some serious guts, right? Immortan Joe is not a man you stand up to lightly. She's taking a big risk here.

Quote #2

WAR BOY: Furiosa! She took a lot of stuff from Immortan Joe.

NUX: What stuff?

WAR BOY: Breeders. His prized breeders. He wants them back.

"Stuff." Oof.

Quote #3

ANGHARAD: We're not going back.

This quick little line packs a big punch. Angharad's refusal to go back tells us that even though out in the wasteland "everything hurts," it's preferable to being treated like property, with no freedom or agency of your own. She'd rather risk her life in an endless desert than live for one more day under Immortan Joe's thumb.
