. . .and telling all the workers. . .
1:05:03
. . .that the planet has been
operating at a loss?

1:05:06
I only claimed that it was
running at a loss. . .

1:05:10
. . .to try and motivate them all
to work harder.

1:05:15
Oh, yes, of course.
1:05:17
And it had nothing to do
with the fact. . .

1:05:19
. . .that it allowed you
to cut the workers' pay. . .

1:05:21
. . .and keep all the extra credit
for yourself. Did it?

1:05:26
That. Well, I can explain that.
1:05:29
Well, unfortunately, the company
requires me to vaporize you.

1:05:34
On the other hand. . .
1:05:36
. . .I could understand someone
in your situation. . .

1:05:39
. . .being old and having no future. . .
1:05:42
. . .coming up with ways
to solve your financial problems.

1:05:46
-You can?
-Oh, yes.

1:05:48
It's really of no interest
to anybody. . .

1:05:51
. . .to have you not be Planetship.
1:05:54
But it would be prudent of you
to start to share your authority.

1:06:07
But these forms are
all blank, undated.

1:06:12
You could put anything
you wanted on them.

1:06:14
You would run the entire planet!
1:06:20
I would be nothing but a puppet.
1:06:24
Well, if you don't want
to do it that way. . .

1:06:27
. . .we could always do it by. . .
1:06:30
. . .the book.
1:06:38
What the hell does the Planetship
need with all this mining equipment?

1:06:42
That's not even the crazy part.
1:06:44
He's ordered me to take a group
of man-animals to a remote area. . .

1:06:48
. . .with the equipment to see
if they can be trained to mine.

1:06:51
Man-animals being able to mine?
1:06:54
Yes.
