l think that Solaristics
is at an impasse
:27:13
as a result of
irresponsible fantasizing.
:27:17
l'm only interested in truth,
:27:18
but you want to convince me
ofyour point of view.
:27:23
l can't draw conclusions
based on ''reasons of heart''.
:27:27
l'm not a poet.
My problem is simple:
:27:30
either end the research,
withdrawing the station from orbit
:27:33
and legalizing the crisis in
Solaristics,
:27:37
or take extreme measures,
:27:40
like bombarding the ocean
with high intensity beams.
:27:43
No, not that!
:27:45
Didn't you want to continue
the research at any price?
:27:49
And you want to destroy that which
we aren't capable of understanding?
:27:56
No, l don't advocate knowledge
at any price.
:28:01
Knowledge is only valid when
it rests on a foundation of morality.
:28:06
Man is the only agent
who renders science immoral.
:28:10
Don't forget Hiroshima.
:28:12
Then don't make science immoral!
lt's strange...
:28:19
There's nothing strange about it.
:28:24
Even you can't be sure that
:28:26
all you had seen
weren'tjust hallucinations.
:28:31
Thank you for your time. We have
nothing more to say to each other.
:28:39
- ls anything the matter?
- l'm leaving.
:28:41
Leaving?
:28:45
He is a bookkeeper, not a scientist.
:28:47
We're friends, Burton, but you
shouldn't say that about him!
:28:51
We've known each other for 20 years.
lt had to end someday, l guess.
:28:56
Are you leaving the child?
