:04:39
They're all moving into these houses, Rosie.
:04:41
A whole nation,
a whole fucking world of plastic houses.

:04:46
It's like a rash. It's eating up this island
like a case of bad acne.

:04:50
Thirty years, there won't be anything left
that isn't suburbia...

:04:55
or the ghettos.
:04:57
Because they all want to live in places...
:05:00
with people exactly like themselves.
:05:04
They have their own police forces,
some of them...

:05:06
to keep their greedy little children safe.
:05:10
And they have the vanity
to call this place a community.

:05:13
Look at this crap.
:05:22
That's not a house,
it's a thing to keep the TV dry.

:05:25
I wish we had a TV.
:05:28
No, you don't.
:05:30
I swear, I solemnly believe...
:05:32
that humanity is now officially descending
the ladder of evolution.

:05:36
In 1,000 years human beings will be
the size of gerbils.

:05:40
And they'll have one thought a year,
in December...

:05:45
and think about
what they want for Christmas.

:05:48
Decline and rot, my angel,
that's the way of the world.

:05:53
Except for you.
:05:55
You are exempt.
:05:58
Remember that.
