Sounds like this exchange between Mr. Thompson and John Galt, which could just as well be a discussion with the Biden Administration about restarting Keystone and expanding drilling:

“The country is in a terrible state. People are starving and giving up, the economy is falling to pieces, nobody is producing any longer. We don’t know what to do about it. You do. You know how to make things work. Okay, we’re ready to give in. We want you to tell us what to do.”

“I told you what to do.”

“What?”

“Get out of the way.”

“That’s impossible! That’s fantastic! That’s out of the question!”

“You see? I told you we had nothing to discuss.”

I’ve always thought “Atlas Shagged” would be a good Austin Powers title.
