:55:01
I don't think you can understand... Terrible, terrible, terrible... I've been thinking about you.
:55:03
You seem alone. I know. I've felt that way. At work... they told me l was a first class transport regulator. Yes, a tram pilot. What do you think? Between level 3472 and level 3500, module center 55 - the big one. A toilet: it's a toilet. Still, bad air is better than no air. And the timetables. Shall l tell you?
:55:06
What?
:55:10
He's not very friendly, is he? He said you were roommates. Was he always so... strange? All he does is save his food. He eats a little... very little. He may die.
:55:14
Of course, he may change. Things do change. I'm the same...
:55:17
Have my plycron... what do you want me to say?
:55:22
Could we be friends?
:55:25
We could leave together. I have a plan. See this?
:55:29
I'm making it sharp. We'll dig...
:55:32
OUE 6662.
:55:35
I should have known... You're with them. You want...
:55:39
Huh?
:55:44
Four... quick... felons prepare.
:55:51
Yes, fine! You see, history is not only important, it can be fun as well.
:55:53
I can't believe it!
:55:56
MRK CRK TRK SRK BRK... What do you think happened to MRK and CRK and TRK? Where are they now? I'll tell you where... no where.
:56:01
You know what l want? Ideas... One idea,One idea could get us out of here if it was the right idea. You know what l mean? Not a bunch of facts. Who even knows if they're facts? He probably makes them up in his sleep. The time has come to act.
:56:09
We've just got to be sure it's the right idea. But we'll find it. We'll know it when we see it. I'll know it when l see it. Clear and straight forward and plain as the nose on your face.
:56:20
Of course it is true that no one has ever returned once they were taken away, history tells us that, but it is idle to speculate about the reasons why and absurd to torture oneself over an idle speculation as NlN is doing. NlN has in fact destroyed himself many times over with worry. LOO 3122, who has taken away not long before you arrived, believed that he was going to a wonderful place where he would be happy, and in so believing he created a veritable paradise for himself right here. Unfortunately, not all of us can have the positive conviction of LOO, but thankfully not all of us are burdened with the ominous forebodings of NlN. I myself have found that concentrating...
:56:23
That's what l mean by the wrong idea.
:56:29
I am not going to try to prove the usefulness of history, it is genuinely too obvious to need proof. We see before us innumerable scenes, like what we just witnessed, that succeed each other in endless repetition. Where we see the same faults followed regularly by the same misfortunes, we may reasonably...
:56:33
Don't you think you could do something about that? It's very distracting.
:56:38
... we may reasonably think that if we could have known the first we could have avoided the second. The past should enlighten us on the future, knowledge of history is no more than an anticipated experience.
:56:43
You're wrong! They're going to destroy him!
:56:49
I can just barely see him. I think he's leaving.
:56:52
Impossible!
:56:58
I don't see anything.
