Uncle Rob: Newt, I've been blind for 30 years. I don't know what color people are anymore. If somebody does something, good or bad, I don't think his color into it. I figure his deed.
Newt: Do you remember what it was like before the explosion? What color the sky was? Things like that.
Uncle Rob: Oh, at times, at times, yes. Sometimes the colors do come - and I think they're much brighter in my darkness, than in your light. I see blue and green and yellow - coming and going in all directions. They seemed soft, black. Ah, it's strange. I don't remember white at all. But, sometimes I have a little fun. Like, imagining you were green with pink ears, blue nose, purple hair. Oh, sometimes I fill my world with all kinds of colors.
Newt: Really, Uncle Rob?
Uncle Rob: That's right, boy, and I think sometimes if all the people in the world were made up of colors, instead of just black and white, it would be happy world. A wonderful world all mixed up with wonderful colored people. Nobody being the same as anybody else
