"Eddy Burns, 16-4-015." "By what right do you force my door?" "Haven't you seen the red light?" "There's no private domain for the Psycho-police." "Eddy Burns, number 16-4-015?" " Yes." " Come on." "Psycho." "Psycho has chosen Eddy Burns," "Number 16-4-015, to replace the officer eliminated for physical deficiency." "He is a ventilation officer, Sector 4." "His training could begin immediately." "I propose that one explains his absence so:" "Medical tests revealed the incubation of a disease demanding his relegation for 3 months into "quarantine"." "His health will justify his regular absences." "Objection?" "The process is already served." "Not in sector 4." "So, no objection." "No objection." "Call Eddie Burns." "Eddy Burns, you are the 16th generation of men born on the spacecraft." "You are 20 years old, you have acquired knowledge necessary to your work and the understanding of its problems." "You are ignorant of one thing." "Before revealing it to you," "I would like to ask you some questions." "Firstly, what is the major crime on board?" "Waste and disobedience." "Disobedience is a form of waste." "What is waste?" "The use of a power source without equivalent benefit for the community." "Exactly." "A man who eats, drinks, breathes, and no longer works as intended is he guilty of waste?" "Think." "In a sense, yes." "I think so." "But..." "The average human lifespan?" "40 years." "We do not know how many years a man may live." "But beyond 40 years, the balance between consumption and utility tips to the detriment of the latter." "This is the only thing you did not know:" "There is no natural death on board the ship." "The machine decides when an individual must be eliminated in the interest of all." "Alone are informed the four cabinet ministers here present and the 4 officers of the Psycho-police, each responsible for a sector of 500 inhabitants." "From today you are responsible for Sector 3 as a police official and of Sector 4 to which you belong as executor." "Executor..." "Then I'll have to... make the eliminations you are entrusted with." "How?" "With my hands?" "All the additional information will be given during your instruction." "But why?" "Why me?" "You have been chosen by Psycho." "Even more than his hands, than his eyes, it was that word, that little word that struck me." "He asked why." "I had often met the frightened look for whom the perfect crime had became their trade." "But no one had asked why." "For 300 years, these three centuries when the ship passed like a star in the infinite, no man had ever pronounced it." "In this tumultuous madness that the very organization of the ship engendered, that one syllable spoke of reason." "All means will be given you so that you are physically invulnerable." "The training of Eddy Burns can begin." "I take this opportunity to ask you again to all think carefully about the meaning your duty." "I salute you." "Gentlemen..." "What is it?" "The waste that you have reported in Sector 4." "You've already made your investigation." "It's provocation." "I've done it." "It is a matter of waste." "I admire you." "It always seems so long and difficult." " What?" " To understand." "John Goodwin, you are foreman of garden Sector 4." "Sam Aldway, gardener 1st class under you, accuses you of wastage." "Aldway?" "I surprised Goodwin throwing in the garbage chute plant cuttings, recoverable." "It's lies." "It's lies!" "It's lies!" "Silence." "Algae and plants are our only food." "Your accusation is serious." "If confirmed, the culprit must be executed." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "I caught him before he operated the chute." "We would have lost an important part!" "I've been a gardener for 20 years." "Why commit this madness?" "I know my responsibilities." "Then how do you explain that these scraps were in the tank?" "There were three witnesses." "I cannot explain it." "Unless..." "Unless?" "Sam Aldway, think what you are doing." "I don't understand." "Be clear." "He's accused me several times of waste." "But it was... it was... it was..." "You fought?" " No, never." " Why are you afraid?" "All say that this man is bloodthirsty." "If he shows his arm, you'll see how many he's killed." "No!" "This is not a crime." "Gregson shouldn't listen to these stories." "Why wait to send him to the converter?" "You're so sure he is guilty." "I'm sure that he's old." "It's noted he provoked me many times." "There were witnesses." "The cuttings, he threw them away to force me to fight." "Sam, tell the truth." "There is something else in the folder." "Another similar case." "You see?" "6 months ago." "I informed the guys from recycling." "It was a blunder." "A branch fell." " Justice was done." " The law does not wish leniency to be repeated." "Understood." "Take him." "I beg you, Listen to me!" "Sam, tell them, it's not true." "Tell them it's not true!" "That's all, Sam Aldway?" "You are free." "Thank you." "Tell me, Merrill, why didn't Goodwin take the polygraph test?" "His guilt was evident." "Don't you think rather that you've failed because he was not guilty?" "Burns pointed it out, he should have been crushed." "Really?" "Sam Aldway helps us." "It helps us safe." "His choice was perhaps not the best." "He has the right to kill in a duel only people aged over 30." "Therefore sterile and failing." " In fact..." " The old." "Have the courage to say so to my face." "You haven't appealed to the detector either." "As I understand it, you don't like the methods of Eddy Burns." "His first executions gave no problems." " Clean work." " Clean but without relish." "We don't ask that much." "Many like it." "Each to their own." "Perhaps he likes something else." "Love, no doubt." "Why do you say that?" "He spends time in Sector 4 with a girl." " Always the same." " What?" "This is not a fad." "You're crazy." "He knows the police code." "At the time, no." "What are you saying?" "Psycho chooses for this work individuals free of emotional ties." " It's changed its mind." " Don't blaspheme." "You don't think your dislike for Burns makes you imagine this?" "I know this liaison began before his appointment." "I caught them four months ago." "Brought them before the council." "D'you realise what you're saying?" "Burns can't be an officer of the Psycho-police." "This is a mistake by Psycho." "We should speak to the Captain." "Watch out." "You're here only to inform me." "How old is this girl?" "18 years." "Think you can remove her?" "A woman of childbearing age, that would look nice." "Explain that to Genetics." " So him?" " Oh, no." "Decidedly, you do not like him." "He cannot stay." "It's neither you nor I who'll decide." "See to the girl and try to discourage her." "Count on me, I'll do my best." "Preventing others having a good time, is the only pleasure we have left." "It's not possible." "Question." "Prior to his appointment, Eddie Burns was he..." "Question incomplete." "Please try again." "Question incomplete." "Please try again." "We see each other so rarely, Suzanne." "I regret it so." "You must almost have forgotten that I'm your father" "Yet, I feel close to you, how shall I say, in... in confidence, in harmony." "Perhaps because there's no obligation to be together." " Except today." " Don't get me wrong." "I've nothing against Eddie Burns." "But I must warn you." "Your relationship with him, according to their consequences, could be considered immoral, a crime." "You know the sanctions." "Think." "But I've thought it through." "He's the same now as he was when they came looking for him." "The same." "Would you have my feelings change?" "You're mistaken." "For you, it's no longer the same." "You cannot have children with him." "Children?" "What am I to you?" "A visit from time to time." "Little problems treated from on high whilst watching TV?" "A piece of flesh that one breastfeeds and then sees grow up?" " Suzanne!" " That's not why I like Eddy." "Not for that purpose." "What's so different?" "This." "The ship's law obliges you to bring two children into the world." "Willingly or by force." "With the man Psycho will choose for you." "There are remedies." "What happened with Eddy was an accident." "I want to be sterile." "Psycho will understand." "You're talking nonsense." "For whom do you take Psycho?" "You want me to explain it to you?" "Me, whose job is to maintain it in good condition?" "It is a machine." "An assembly of metal... wires, transistors, of magnetic plates." "It's all and nothing." "This wall is Psycho." "This cell is Psycho." "These doors..." "The whole ship is Psycho." "Each of these atoms, of these vibrations." "It's nothing else." "It's not a conscience." "It only responds to questions that should be asked." "The law is the law." "Special cases do not exist for Psycho." "I'm afraid for you, Suzanne." " Especially now?" " Yes." "Merrill, the officer in our Sector, came to me." "He asked me to talk to you." "I beseech you, renounce Eddie Burns." "I ask to be excused from having children." "You do not have the right." "The ship is old, Suzanne." "Our race is old." "We mustn't create exceptions, it would divide our society." "The law, we must accept it with our very souls." "It guarantees the successful end of the journey." "You think so?" "Everything has a beginning and an end." "Birth and death." "Between the two, do we not have the right to be ourselves?" "Tomorrow is more important than today." "Tomorrow is the converter." "I will make my request." "Let Psycho decide." "I did what I could for you." "Let me watch this educational film." "It's for my generation, not yours." "The only way not to wear out and not to age, is to keep on forever with what one understands." "I like Curtway." "He's without illusion and without passion." "But he's not without goodness." "All the constraints, all the limitations that created the law, he has admitted." "His reason is bent more easily than he had hoped." "But to want to constantly fight against himself, to keep intact his potential for knowledge, he simply forgot to take the time to think." "In this he is only a man of the ship." "Recreational Program for the 14th generation." "You have to see it through, Bohlen." "To the end." "To the end." "Who are you, what do you want?" "Get up." "Your turn has come." "It's not true." "My card can't have been ejected by Psycho." "I am your leader." "Get out." "Psycho is sick." "We obey the Captain's orders." "Wait, Merrill!" "I haven't mentioned that you omitted the detector for Goodwin." "One favour deserves another." "One must see it through." "To the end." "Burns..." "Burns!" "I haven't reported to Psycho that you have relationships with a woman." "One good turn deserves another." "See it through." "See it through." "Eddie Burns..." "You don't like killing." " It would be a crime." " Burns, do your duty." "My card can't be ejected by Psycho!" "Psycho is sick." "Psycho is dead!" "We obey the captain." "Must see it through." "I didn't want to die!" "I didn't want to die!" "I've waited a long time to see Gregson die." "He took up too much space." "What's the use of those who eat too much, weigh too much, burn too much oxygen, and are incapable of reproduction?" "Once you reach this age you'll withdraw no more water, no more calcium, no more phosphorus." "All that was taken, must be given back... one day." "Nothing belongs to us." "I'm not dead!" "Stop!" "Can't you see I'm not dead!" "Why aren't you dead?" "Why not?" "You know, Bohlen?" "You are responsible for Psycho." "No, I'm not guilty." "The idea wasn't mine." "Gregson forced me to remove his card from the machine to avoid elimination." " You also removed yours." " I was forced." "I'm not guilty, it's him." "I accuse Gregson of the crime of fraud." "He rigged Psycho." "I accuse Gregson!" "Gregson, Gregson, Gregson!" "Gregson, wake up!" "What wrong?" "We're called to the Captain." "Captain?" "The Captain should choose another time than siesta." "But for what little rest that sleep brings..." "Have you any idea the reason for his summons?" "Not the slightest." "Has it to do with our action concerning Psycho?" "It's better not to talk about it!" "Forgive me." "From that day, I no longer live." "That's a picture." "Your imagination is rather ungrateful." "Imagine what your anxiety would be if..." "I wonder." "I don't have your appetite for existence." "Yet, you're right." "We soon forget." " Are you certain there's no trace?" " I'm certain of nothing." "Especially now." "What do you mean?" "Answer me." "The action you speak of is a few days prior to the appointment of Burns?" "Yes, I remember it well." "So do I." "Alas..." "By choosing Eddy Burns," "Psycho named a man who could not exercise his trade." "There must be a error." "Error?" "Psycho?" " You think that..." " I try not to think." "You told me whilst he was being trained his mind was more malleable." "His will was being erased." "It was a bad choice." " But he performs his task!" " For how long?" "Understand this monstrosity, Bohlen." "Now we must depend on chance." "Merrill informs you he has accomplished his mission." "Perfect." "Notify Eddy Burns when the corpse has been found." "I must make things quite clear." "We can no longer see each other." "The Psycho-police have forbidden you." "How do you know?" "They instructed my father to tell me the same thing." "I won't listen to them." "I've been thinking." "I've formed an idea of my life with you." "It has become life for me." "I chose it." "I want no other." "You are very young." "You'll forget me." "Soon, they'll present the boy you will marry." "The choice is wide." "And you?" "I'll continue to see you alone in the corridors." "Seated a few metres from me." "Sitting farther away in the theatre." "We'll gesture to each other." "Will you have the courage to smile?" "I'll try." "There's no other way." "Don't you want me?" "I want you alive and happy." "I have only death to offer you." "You know it." " Immorality is punishable by death." " There will be no crime." "I've asked to be excused from having children." "I'll pledge to serve my whole life in maternity." "You thought that I would accept?" "Never." "And they neither, for that matter." "Let's part, they're coming." "Come into this booth." "It's forbidden to shut oneself up." "We'll leave the door ajar." "What would happen if we closed the door?" "It would open on the order of the Psycho-police." "We would be judged." "But free until then." "Free..." "Eddy!" "I mean it!" "Have the courage to be ourselves." "They must know what we want." "I believe, Eddy." "I didn't know there'd be this siren." "Don't you want me?" "We must do something." "There's a siren from a relaxation booth." "Two birds have locked themselves in." "People are crazy." "But why this barbarous invention?" "The siren?" "It's to cover every word." "The relaxation booths are among the few places where Psycho has no ears." "It is essential we say nothing." "Do we deal with it?" "We must join Eddy Burns if it's so important." "I don't know where he is." "Give out his number the public address." "Better as few people as possible around the corpse." "I wanted a moment to think only of ourselves." "To be just us two!" "OPX15." "OPX15." "OPX15." "I was right." "The door opened, there's no one." "Psycho is with us." "We'll be happy." "I beg you, We must separate now." "See you here tomorrow." "I may have my answer." "That's right, yes." "Tomorrow." "Do as I do." "Trust me." "OPX15 here." "Yes?" "Yes..." "Booth 491." "On my way." "I've just been presented with a curious request." "A girl of 18, from Sector 4, asks to be sterilized to marry an invalid, Eddy Burns." "That is to say, the last police officer selected by Psycho." "Reason:" "promises of marriage had been exchanged before the "sickness" of this young man." "I asked Gregson if he was aware," "Bohlen too." "I am aware of the facts, not the request." "We'll act accordingly." "Curious that Psycho did not take this into account." "Psycho does its job as it sees fit." "I'm only responsible for its maintenance." "You insinuate" "Let's be serious." "There's an explanation." "It's very simple." "The girl is crazy." "There has never been a promise of marriage." "Psycho therefore considered Eddy Burns as free." "But the captain didn't convene us at this time for this little hysteric." "That's so, Gregson." "Henderley has an important communication for you." "Gentlemen, as I have just informed the captain, we have new evidence of the existence of outlaws." "The supply store has been looted." "These are figures of legend, but they attack stocks that are already exhausted." "Do not deviate from your subject." " Forgive me." " The security device didn't work?" " Psycho..." " Again?" "I have repeatedly said that these outlaws, if they exist, live outside the community." " They escape Psycho." " Do they exist?" "What I have said leaves no doubt." "Others have taken your bags of flour." "No, no one on board has need." "And there was no sign of forced entry." "So men live outside the ship and pass through walls." "They are men who have escaped elimination." "They took refuge outside the ship." "In uninhabitable places." "For Psycho, they have died." "Questions about them are unanswered." "If you think about what Psycho is you'll find it quite natural." "It can't be held guilty for what it cannot do." "I have every confidence in Psycho." "It's a pity." "A little doubt does no harm." "If the outlaws escape the machine, shouldn't we decide what to do to protect our reserves?" "But aren't the risks too great to take this initiative?" "They must lead a barbarous existence which cannot last." "They are old and sterile." "But they can survive, even organise themselves." "They've avoided the law of elimination." "I ask the necessary means to remove them wherever they are." "Easier said than done." "I agree with Gregson." "If you reveal their existence to the men, think of their age." "It's not fair that we live conscious of an inescapable sacrifice, while others do not." "Imagine the life they lead." "Do you really want to join them?" "I'm waiting for suggestions from the police chief." "Determine where they are entrenched." "Next, examine the means to dislodge them." "Report back to the board tomorrow." "You may go, gentlemen." "A moment." "Bohlen, an engineer named George Curtway requests an interview regarding Psycho." "Do you know what it concerns?" "Oh, no." "As the senior engineer he was responsible for the latest inspections." "Perhaps... he has proposals for improvement." "Many people believe they can do better than the builders." "Perhaps something is wrong with Psycho." "He would have done his duty by warning me." "See to it, Bohlen." "We will decide." "Remind him of the requirements of the chain of command." "And..." "Keep me informed." "Wait." "Want to see the body one last time?" "No." "She's unrecognizable." "I'd rather never have seen her dead." "I'd like to know what you think." "This is undoubtedly an accident." "She wanted to touch the connections and was electrocuted." "I don't think so." "She was a very rational woman." "She knew nothing of electricity." "She would never have thought of repairing it." "She belonged to the 14th generation." "People of this age often behave inexplicably." "Don't mention age, I beg you." "We were the same, her and me." "I know we always kept our heads." "She was a friend?" "No." "My wife." "You mean, the one with whom you had children?" "Yes." "Does that seem strange?" "However it's the truth." "We stayed together." "Not in the same cabin, of course." "But we parted as little as possible." "A habit to which we held dear." "We all have companions of work or play." "For me, it was my wife." "I understand." "These attachments lead only to more regrets." "Pull yourself together." "It was not an accident." "There was something else." "We were in the recreation hall, watching a film." "A man came looking for her." "It was an hour ago." "She left with him." "I waited a while for her return." "And then..." "I went looking for her." "It was here..." "Who was this man?" "I don't know." "In the darkness, I didn't recognize him." "Surely one of her colleagues who had urgent work for her." "You're right." "This wasn't an accident, but suicide." "Listen to me." "He had perhaps pointed out to her some malpractice." "She was unable to bear the responsibility." "She would never have killed herself for that!" "She would never have abandoned me!" "I am sure it was murder!" "Come on..." "I'll lodge a complaint." "He must be a brute or a madman to kill a woman like her." "The culprit must be found." "An accusation isn't justified it could make things very awkward for you." "That no longer has any importance for me." "I have the right to seek justice." "Fine, please follow me." "Gregson!" "Did you see?" "I did." "How horrible!" "Who could gorge themselves so on meat?" "What a horrific sight!" "Did you see how those poor animals were slaughtered?" "There's even worse." "Look at that face." "Gregson!" "But it's an old man!" "Yes." "Do you have any idea of the age he may be?" " It's frightful!" " Especially as it's a general education program." "Half the people have seen it." "We must act!" "Do what?" "Call engineers and let them rummage through Psycho?" "It's the machine that decides the program, right?" "Which now chooses to show an old man, the spectacle of these individuals gorging on meat." "You can guess the conclusion when the engineers discover the cause?" "But Gregson," "Psycho is all." "Psycho ill, could lead us to disaster." "Anything can crack in an instant." "The air conditioning, gravity, the seals, the lighting." "Psycho is all." "Right." "Life and death." "Right." "But a Psycho that's ill, is not just death for us." " But rather for everyone." " Fine, we can enjoy the show." "Not for long." "You forget the complaints that'll come from all sides." "The indignation, anger, fear." "We already have Curtway who wants to talk." "I must receive him." "His testimony will be recorded." "You will not receive him." "At the point where we are..." "We remove his card." "Withdraw it before the appointment." " Don't count on me forever." " But damn it all!" "What more is there to fear?" "Only one thing can defeat us." "Our cowardice." "If we follow our actions through, there is much to hope for." "You still hope?" "I invoke that which doesn't depend on the others." "The chain is infinite." "After Curtway, there will be other engineers." "We'll find other ideas." "No." "No, you can't count on me anymore." "Would you like to take a walk over to the converter?" "If you let go of me, it will be suicide." "Otherwise, one can go quite far." "After all, what distinguishes the Captain from his ministers?" "The fact that he is theoretically immortal." "But... have you thought of who to entrust the elimination of Curtway with if I remove his card?" "It's the fourth sector." "So, Eddie Burns." "Eddy Burns asks to see you urgently." "He has also called Merrill." "Wait for me." "Then we'll decide." "The man accepts neither an accident nor suicide." "I understand." "The work was poorly done." "No opinions, the facts." "Firstly, the woman was electrocuted in her cabin." "Her hand, was in contact with the wire." "The body was burned." " This is not a new way of working." " That's absurd." " A woman wouldn't touch that." " After?" "Merrill went looking for the victim in a public place." " Were you seen?" " He was seen." "Then?" "They lived almost together, had practically no secrets." " So what?" " So..." "No motive for suicide." "That's a poor piece of work." "I did my best." "It was impossible to meet this woman alone." "The guy must be jealous." "He can't prove anything." "The proof, Merrill, it's for us to find it." "Edwards is suspicious." "This is dangerous." "He will speak, doubt will spread a little more." "What we do is not the work of an amateur." "I await the proposals of Burns." "This is his sector." "I only see the application of section 17 of the Code." "What?" "All agents of the Psycho-Police who eliminate in a manner such that death cannot pass for natural, accidental or suicide will be judged like common criminals." "Bastard!" "You want my hide." "Enough!" "You don't deal with your case." "Burns is only doing his duty." "After all, what would be the conclusion of Psycho if I sent it a report on your work?" "There could be another solution." "You could have waited until it reported to us." "He did well to propose it." "For me it's not acceptable." "You are very hard and sure of yourself." "I have no hatred, no... animosity towards Merrill." "But if a man must die, it's he." "Who says the opposite?" "I know your methods." "In the case of the gardener in my sector, the innocent party to the converter, not the provocateur." "You arranged it." "Think for a second, Eddie Burns." "I have a choice between removing Merrill who you know, does a difficult job, and an old man, unknown, whom Psycho could eliminate within one hour." " It's not up to you." " I'd go even further." "If, as you reported, this man has lost the person, the most dear to him, life has become a burden to him." "I do not ask for charity but justice." "Yes, perfect, Eddy Burns." "It's a formula:" ""Give and take, duty for duty." ""An eye for an eye."" "I will not kill the man." "Nor Merrill whose first fault it is.." "I'll find another solution, but on one condition." "You cease your improper relationship with Suzanne Curtway." "You don't want our fraternity, but don't count on our indulgence." "You are the worst placed to be intransigent." "You will be alone." "To the end." "I know." "Wait Merrill," "I want no fights between agents of the Psycho-police." "I will be ruthless." "Well then..." "Don't say you don't recognize me." "No." "I wasn't expecting you see, that's all." "You fought well." "No." "A kid who knew nothing." "Why do you never fight in the police?" "Why don't you beat those you arrest?" "A question of method." "We are peaceful." "By the way, we forgot a small formality in the case of the gardener." "The polygraph." "What does it matter?" "He's dead now." "But not you." "You won't bring that up again" "It's ancient history." "Why?" "It bothers you to submit to the lie detector?" " Of course not." " Yes!" "Don't take me for a fool." "You imagine that I'm butting into your affairs." "Tell yourself one thing." "It's never too late to tell the truth." "What do you want?" "That you repay me, by way of a small service." " I ask nothing better." " I doubt it." "You know Eddy Burns?" "Yes." "He's employed in ventilation." "A disreputable sort." "Immoral." "We know, but nobody has complained." "I thought that with you, this oversight would be made good." "You want me to smash him?" "No." "Don't fight, especially with him." "I'll see that he comes to the gym with the girl." "You will be notified and you will accuse them publicly." "I'll give you instructions." "Right away!" "I'd like to explain why we never ever fight in the police." "Excuse me for returning to this point now, but the susceptibility of Gregson prevents us from explaining clearly." "Well, talk." "Hurry." "I recognize that the decisions of Psycho, as curious as they have been recently, would have only a relative importance, if the breeding of the spaceship's residents weren't as it is." "We have created bodies and brains almost perfect." "Everyone has an incomparable potential, ultra-fast reflexes, a highly developed sense of self-preservation." "In contrast, what problems this has given us." "Each of these men abiding by a code, a discipline, is an explosive charge dangerous to handle." "This is the time Psycho has chosen to launch on our screens, programs showing scenes of action, violence." "A life full of risks and adventure which must be that of the Earth when our fathers left it." "Is it so wise to recall it?" "Up till now everything has been concerned with a push to forget..." "I understand your concerns." "But we must be logical." "Either Psycho expresses the wisdom of the builders and what seems dangerous is only so by our ignorance, or we no longer believe in Psycho, that is to say in the wisdom of the builders." "We must take responsibility for each moment of our existence without any recourse to the machine." "Can we do it?" "Don't answer too quickly." "Reflect." "We'll talk of this later." "Sit down, gentlemen." "The meeting is open." "Gregson, you've examined the problem of the outlaws?" "I have, in collaboration with Bohlen." "An extensive study of the geography of the ship and its electronic circuits have convinced us that the only refuges available are the air filters and ventilation pipes placed between the walls of the aircraft and nothingness." "With additionally the cold stores which occupy the bunkers beneath our feet and whose openings, I recall, are sealed." "Maybe they are otherwise accessible." "In all these locations, the temperature is very low." "Employees pass through the ventilation circuits in heated overalls." "There is no light." "Survival of the outlaws would therefore be inexplicable." "It may, after all, be that they escaped recently and survived a few days, a few weeks at best." "Unless the information given by Psycho is incorrect." "So far, we've decided to keep faith in Psycho." "I therefore propose that the ducts be combed by my men." "In heated suits?" "Certainly, yes." "That will hardly be convenient for fighting." "They will kill at a distance." "I require the use of firearms." "Sorry, Gregson." "I submit a formal veto to your proposal." "But, these weapons exist." "Since it is possible to train the use of these guns in a special room," "I don't see what prevents their use?" "You have no idea of the effect of a bullet nor of the fragility of the elements of this vessel." "Only indoor ranges are protected." "All the rest is vulnerable." "The use of these weapons would be suicide." "In that case, I have no alternatives." "I await your decision with curiosity." "There is no solution at all costs, gentlemen." "One mustn't pay too dearly for a small advantage." "You take lightly the looting of our reserves." "After all, you must see, this is a question of policy" "We must draw up an official complaint." "Politics is a matter of cutting one's losses." "I find you rather nervous, Gregson." "The electronics engineer who asked for an appointment, would he have had disturbing revelations?" "That's unlikely, He was a fanatic." "He was senile." "Psycho removed his card" " just before the meeting." " So, all is well." "Seeing that we must trust in Psycho." "George Curtway, 15-4-128." " If I could know what Eddy Burns thinks right now." "I'd no doubt have the key to our destiny." "But I must wait for him to act." "And I wouldn't know what were for him the fundamentals of the problem." "Perhaps it's already a sufficient response to know that a problem arises." "We mustn't forget the lesson that Curtway unintentionally gave me." "Wanting to look at everything, know everything, ones wastes time and the means to think." "If the answer to "why" for Eddie Burns is in him, then it's also in me." "What he will do, I must predict, before finding it out." "Yes?" "At the gym?" "Third bay." "Right." "Why doesn't she call me?" "Who are you?" "Hello!" "Hello?" "Suzanne..." "It's voluntarily that I haven't gone to the appointment today." "I haven't yet had an answer from Genetics." "That's not surprising." "Give me your hand." "Don't act like you don't understand." "What is it?" "We're seeing each other for the last time." "This decision is irrevocable." "It's my own choice." "Eddy..." "It's to tell me this that you made me come?" " It's not me." " I hate you." "I hate you!" "Prevent the girl from leaving!" "Police!" "What do you want?" "I saw them kissing." "A sick man and this girl who should be married." "I accuse you of immorality!" "Enough!" "There's no one with me." "She ran away, but I can name her." "No fighting here." "In the arena." "I'll call the police." "I'm ready to fight." "Unless he prefers to bring an accusation without proof." "You have no proof." "You won't fight." " The choice of weapons?" " Bare hands." "Perfect." "Show your tags." "Because of your age, the loser will not die." "I arrived too late to stop the fight." "Why didn't you use our technique?" "I didn't learn it for that." "It's annoying, the story of this accusation." "I hope it won't reach Gregson's ears." "I doubt it." "Don't be like that." "Want to know how Gregson fared with Edwards?" "He's full of ideas." "He maneuvered the poor guy so much that he went for him." "An assault on the head of the Psycho-police, that leads straight to the converter." "Go and rest." "Fool!" "You could see it was too late to accuse him." "But you preferred to fight." "Too bad for you." "You didn't help yourself." "I'll kill him." "I swear I'll kill him." "Well, hurry up." " Can we talk?" " Not here." "In my cabin, we won't be disturbed." "Suzanne, we have to speak, Eddie and me." "I want you to leave us." "You don't want there to be any witness?" "Calm down, Eddy." "Suzanne, do as I say." "One moment, Curtway." "I'll consider anything about my relationship with Suzanne as a provocation." "You know how I treat those who insult me." "You have become a formidable duelist." "Don't stay alone with him." "I beg you..." "I do what I want in my cabin." "Your daughter has informed you of our last conversation?" "there's no need for any lessons on morality." "Alas, Eddy, it wouldn't make much difference." "You understood, but too late, the danger that Suzanne runs." "and you run too." "For you, I am solely responsible?" "I demand a witness to this conversation." "That you make the grounds for these accusations public." "Useless." "There would be dozens of witnesses, that I would not fight you." "Even if I say what I think of you?" "Of your daughter?" "Of how you tried to get rid of me?" "You don't know what you're talking about." "The answer is easy, George Curtway." "Who sent me to the gym?" "Who told Aldway to provoke me?" "I demand you fight a duel with me." "No." " You acknowledge that you're a coward?" " I have the courage, yes." "If it is cowardly to think that the words spoken under the effect of pain have no meaning and no sense." "Because you suffer, Eddie Burns." "If I wanted to speak alone with you, it's not for the reasons you imagine." "It's to tell you I understand the meaning of your break and what it costs you." "I just wanted to thank you." "To offer you my friendship." " I beg your pardon." " Leave it." "Nothing that you said hurt me." "I know you too well." "It's true." "It seems easier to strangle a man that to crush in his heart a pain which rebels." "That which you have done, one must do." "Are you sure?" "Who is the happier?" "Which one is free?" "You, perhaps." "Me, I hardly count." "Soon I will die." "My time has come." "I think of the ship, of the voyage." "I think we should accept its laws, all its laws." "They are inhuman." "In appearance, yes." "No doubt, because we are all too human." "I feel the possibilities of who we are." "But I see nothing here, around us, which can satisfy them." "You think that one day, the world will open?" "Will be different for us?" "I've thought it over in my head." "And I found there more of logic than of hope." "I was afraid of your folly." "Where does she gets this courage to be out of the ordinary?" "Of this refusal to eat?" "It's not her you have saved by obliging her to return to the norm." "Neither her, you, nor me." "But the ship." "You think nothing can divert us from our duty?" "Nothing." "Don't you think so?" "Yes." "Of course, yes." "What's bothering you?" "You can talk frankly with me." "This is... this is absurd." "A tiny detail, Curtway." "You can prove your friendship." "Quite easily." "A stupid thing happened to me." "Working on a vent," "I damaged the insulation of one of those big boxes from which the main electrical ducts leave." "It got hot and touching it again," "I received a shock." "A short circuit due to condensation." "There are always problems with these junction boxes." "What do you want me to do?" "Could you repair the damage?" "I don't want to warn Services." "They'll blame me blame for not reporting it." "You know why I've not been myself lately." "Don't worry about it." "Just take me there." "I'll sort it out in no time." "Let's go." "Now?" "Why not." "We're still responsible." "This one?" "Yes." "I feel nothing." "Things must have sorted themselves out." "I'll open the box." "Unnecessary Curtway." "There was never anything wrong with this box." "So that's it, Eddy Burns?" "It's you they've charged with killing me." "I'd have given so much to avoid it." "How do you know?" "I understood when my application was refused by the Captain." "What did you hope?" "To escape the law?" "I was taken in by your fine words." "You spoke so well of duty." "Mine is to kill you, since that is the order of Psycho." "Yours, I think, is dying." "This problem had to fall on you." "I've already resolved it." "Why don't you want to fight me?" "Perhaps then loyally I could kill you." "Now this is no longer possible." "I tried to hate you." "Persuade myself that your daughter was the only link between us." "Take this knife, George Curtway." "I won't strike you." "If your words are sincere, if you feel it's a crime to continue to live, if you understood why one must die at a specific time, so that a child can be born and find its mouthful of air," "Then, do your duty." "Me, I've given up." "If things could only be so simple." "I wouldn't hesitate." "It was not to escape my elimination that I wanted to talk to the captain." "I don't care if I die." "I realize that it's a necessity." "But today, my life has become precious." "Yes, because I discovered a secret far more horrifying." "It's of that I wished to talk." "They didn't give the time." "Who "they"?" "Those who cheat and lie." "Who don't accept their own turn." "What do you mean?" "Who can cheat?" "How?" "Listen," "At your age, one thinks little of death." "But at 40, this force revolts." "This power is unleashed." "You cling to existence, no matter how miserable." "I was called a short time ago to conduct the usual audits on Psycho." "I realized it would be enough to search the machine to pull out the card which bears the marks of our destiny and break the chain." "It was so strong a temptation that I thought someone else might have given in to it." "I searched." "It was missing two cards." "I methodically tried to discover which." "It was easy." "By making a list of the few who have access to the machine." "The two greatest, the first two, were the cards." "There is in Psycho neither the card of Bohlen nor of Gregson." "Are you sure of what you say?" "I have no proof." "But you know Bohlen and Gregson." "Does such an act seem impossible on their part?" "No." "But even if this is true, it's also true that Psycho decided your time has come." "Yet it must know..." "You are all the same." "You idolize this scrap made by human hands." "Psycho eliminates cards according to the reports of the Psycho-police, for the exceptional and annual tests medical and psychological for everyday life." "The falsehood of a statement can be tangible to it." "But not the lies, typed out and translated into perforations." "My latest tests showed no aging." "And you don't have to report about me." "As I understand it, it's to your sector that I belong." "Eddy, your life and your problems seem clear." "Don't you realize that everyone, from the Captain, to the least of the gardeners, is dependant on Psycho?" "And Psycho unbalanced by this trick, knows nothing of these absurd ends?" "You must talk to the captain." "It's too late." "You're the only one who has a chance to reach him." "If you do this, then I can die." "From what you've told me," "I no longer believe that you've the right." "You can hide here in the airlock." "I'll bring you some food." "But my body..." "That would be your only guarantee with Gregson." "I'll manage." "I need simply your tag." "You know that it is detachable only after death." "It's a question of temperature." "Icy air flows behind that hatch." "Immerse your arm." "Rub your arm, it might freeze." "I'll return as soon as possible." "You'll see Suzanne?" "Immediately." "I will tell her the truth." "If I fail, it will be her turn to try." "He started to threaten my father." "I didn't hear the rest, he closed the door." "You didn't hear anything at all?" "Yes, a few words." "He accused him of organizing a provocation in the gym." "You aren't bothered about eavesdropping at doors." "I was afraid for my father." "I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to save him." "Continue." "They went out together." "They took the elevator." "I don't know where they went." "I couldn't follow them." "Some time later, Eddy Burns returned." "Alone." "Did you speak?" "No." "Why?" "I don't know." "You want my help to find your father." "Do you think Eddie Burns is capable of doing something wrong." "Well, we shall find out." "I'll record your statement." "And you'll sign it as a formality." "Suzanne?" "What are you doing here?" "I'm waiting for your father." "We agreed to meet here." "He must have forgotten." "You didn't return together?" "Return?" "From where?" "I saw you both get into the elevator." "We got off at the same floor." "We made an appointment" "Well, then we'll wait together." "No." "It's too late now." "Goodbye, Suzanne." "Tell your father I'll be back as soon as possible." "You let him go." "You've no real evidence." "You can't stop people for that." "Call your father on the intercom." "George Curtway." "George Curtway." "George Curtway." "George Curtway." "George Curtway." "Mission accomplished." "Perfect, Eddie Burns." "You may go." "So Bohlen?" "Relieved?" "Are we safe?" "Who told you that?" "What we've done exceeds our case." "Wanting only to escape, forging selfishly this path, inventing charades can lead us nowhere." "What is needed is to change the rule." "Give ourselves the advantage of attack." "The system excludes us." "It must be replaced." "After all, if our interest is confused with that of a large number, doesn't it become legitimate?" "Finally... you won't be offering to others..." "Why not?" "We must." "You are aware of this." "We have moved back slightly the expiry date." "Sooner or later, they'll see us get older." " There'll be other barriers." " But..." "And the Captain?" "Captain?" "He's the guarantor of something." "Without contact with us." "Alone." " A shelter behind this wall." " Exactly." "One will work so hard to protect a symbol." "Believe me, Bohlen," "One shouldn't be a source of imbalance but create a new equilibrium." "This will be our policy." "First, limit births to keep ourselves indispensable." "Then to share our fate with others who will be our accomplices and defenders." "The captain is not subject to Psycho." "The machine cannot ensure our destiny." "It is in the interest of us all that we take control." "I don't know if you see clearly which acts are behind your theory." "Be sure of that." "Merrill request to be received." "And Eddie Burns." "Show them in." "What I have to say interests you." "I'm no longer on duty." "You never should have been." "You have a moment." "Does Merrill really have something to say?" "What is it?" " Ask Burns." " I question you." "Merrill, you're on borrowed time, try not to forget it." "Remember our recent conversation." "That's what makes his presence so enjoyable." "Burns has done the dirtiest work I've seen." "What do you mean?" "It's my turn to count your blunders." "Firstly, he tried to fight with the victim." "Failure." "But the daughter of the victim heard the threats." "Secondly, he took him to another floor." "The girl followed them and saw him return alone." "Result, a complaint filed." "Before the discovery of the corpse." "And that's not all." "Thirdly, this." "Why not leave this on the body?" "The girl found it in the cabin of the deceased." "His pockets are full of holes." "Did you bring the witness without scandal?" "Without scandal?" "She has stirred up the whole sector with her screams and accusations." "She mentioned it all, the name, the time, everything!" "We must remove all those who know." "Stop that stupid grin." "Go get her." " Is what he says true?" " It's possible." "There were special circumstances." " You knew." " Never mind." "We'll fix that." "Stop!" "We'll deal with the rest later." "Sit down." "According to my officer, you want lay a charge." " Is that correct?" " Yes." "I accuse this man of killing my father." "You realise, I am sure, the seriousness of your charge." "Murder is punishable by slow death" "I hope that he'll suffer." " Did you see the crime?" " No." "How can you be so sure?" "That your father is dead, there's no doubt." "His dog tag detached is the proof." "But from there to knowing the culprit, there's quite a gap." " The facts speak for themselves." " I know them." "But it turns out that Eddie Burns came spontaneously to share with me his concerns for the disappearance of your father." "This acts in his favor." "He gave details of your relationship." "Problems." "That would explain your attitude, so full of passion." "Suzanne," "I did not kill your father, I swear." "These are assumptions and coincidences." "I'm amazed that you remain so sincere." "But we are used to criminals." "We can recognize right from wrong." "It's very simple." "Thanks to the polygraph." "This is the best way." "Why didn't he suggest it himself." "I ask for it." "Fine." "Take a seat, Eddie Burns." "Ask the question." "If the answer is false, the plate will light." "Otherwise, it will remain dark." "Did you kill my father?" "No, I did not kill your father." "I was so scared, my love!" "It's unbelievable." " The detectors are rigged..." " Not at all." "Go back to your sector and continue your investigations." "I await an explanation." "Where is Curtway?" "Why did you fail in your duty?" "And the tag, it's proof..." "We should submit Burns to the detector again." "The result will be the same." "Curtway died." "But I did not kill him." "I pushed him to commit suicide." "I would like proof." "You will have his corpse." "There's no better way." "Let me pass, Merrill." " Let me pass." " Are you kidding?" "I'll take you." "I don't know why Gregson covers for you but you'll go to the converter." "I've all the proof." "The corpse of Sam, you hadn't the right to kill." "The electrical connection and the tag." "You wanted the body to be unrecognizable and to pass it for that of another." "You hate me but you're using my methods." " Where is Curtway?" " I don't have to account to you." "You'll have to." "One last time, let me pass." "You know we cannot fight." "I know all the holds, we're the same weight." "You'll leave to go to the converter." "Are you able to listen to me for a second, Merrill?" "I have to leave this room." "I'll give you the corpse." "I'll leave a confession regarding Aldway for you." "But I need a moment of freedom." "I can't save myself." "You think I want to make you happy?" "Alright." "I'll explain." "I haven't killed Curtway." "Gregson is not my accomplice, but the opposite." "Curtway knows things that frighten him." "I cannot tell you everything." "But the secret of Curtway is more important than anything you can imagine." "If you want to know, come with me." "Where he is hiding." "He'll tell you." "Do I look like I'm joking?" "What do you risk?" "You have everything to gain." "Alright." "I'll follow you." "But don't try to escape." "Can't you trust me just once?" "Certainly not." "Where is he?" "In the airlock." "If you're making fun of me, watch out, Burns." "Curtway..." "Come, we must speak with Merrill." "Curtway?" "Merrill!" "Merrill, open!" "Merrill!" "Merrill, listen to me!" "Merrill!" "Merrill..." "Merrill, listen to me!" "What's happening?" "Merrill has locked us in." "I'll explain." "We must find another exit." "Follow the air ducts." " Is there a chance?" " I don't know." "There's nothing else to do." " Is Bohlen here?" " Yes, in conference." " I want to talk to him." " I don't know if..." "Folden's here." "Gregson listen." "I want to talk urgently to Bohlen." "It's your business too." "Well, enter." "Come in." "Sorry, I ran all the way from the hospital." "Bohlen, this is what I've determined to obtain." "A general review of Psycho." "It is perfectly useless." "I understand your reaction." "But I beg you to make yourself all possible examinations." "I don't want to pass for the Captain, as a compulsion on my part." " Is this an ultimatum?" " Don't take it like that." "It can't go on." "You can see." "You did your duty." "My remarks are not outrageous." "I salute your competence, your conscience but I won't give in with my complaint." "Whatever you do is useless." "What's the cause of this crisis?" "This..." "I've just been called to maternity to see a pregnancy." "So what?" "Is this your first case?" "Let me explain." "This woman is 26 years old." " Therefore she's sterile." " No." "Exactly." "She went to the sterilizer nearly four months ago." "She is pregnant about 3 months." "So she has not been sterilized." "She had radiation on dates fixed of Psycho." " So, Psycho is guilty." " Certainly." "And Psycho directly controls the time of radiation." "72 women were subjected to the ray since that date." "We may therefore have 72 children too many in 6 to 12 months." "At a time when our reserves are falling." "What will you decide?" "I will consider." "Hurry, I implore you." "I have done everything possible to spare your susceptibility." " Well?" " I just don't know." "Come." "Gregson," "I think above all, I'm afraid." "A fear that goes beyond my life and my death." "A fear for others?" "No, a fear for the ship." "I feel silly saying that." "This anxiety seems so much older than me." "It's as if the death of the others kills us a little deeper that our own death." "We love the ship, Bohlen." "Not enough to die." "Too much to watch it die." "I'll order a review of Psycho no matter what." "Right." "Are you with me?" "As long as you are for the future." "The review of Psycho must not have consequences for us." "One person is beyond the law." "You see." "We must take the Captain's place." " Merrill wants to see you." " What now!" "Send him to the converter!" "You will not enter." " Let me enter!" " You don't have the right." "You are crazy!" "Get out!" " No." " Get out!" "Not until you have cleared up something." "Why do you cover for Eddy Burns?" "What are you saying?" "Why can he kill with impunity a man not convicted," " and hide another to be eliminated." " Explain yourself." " Must I still leave?" " No insolence." "Eddy did not kill Curtway." "He told me so." "He killed Sam Aldway" "I've found the body but not the tag." "He wanted to make it unrecognizable and to impersonate Curtway." " Why accept it?" " I did not." "You are here to inform me." "Eddie Burns..." "I don't care, the fate of Eddie Burns." "I covered his mistakes which were harmful to us." "As I did yours." "And the fate of Curtway?" "What do you know?" "Burns said you'd give a lot to learn his secret." "And..." " Do you believe him?" " No." "It was a trick to get rid of me." "I was smarter." "Where is he?" "The ventilation airlock where he was "hiding" Curtway." "I've locked him in." "Burns set a trap, there is no shadow of a doubt." "But Curtway was surely hidden there." "It would amuse you to find them?" "You can have them." "Do what you will." "Take two men with you." "You'll have heated overalls and will comb the ventilation channels." "No one, you hear?" "No one must escape." "That's an order!" "Listen." "Maintenance." "Perhaps." "Come on." "Merrill!" "Come quickly." "Who are you?" "Is he a man?" "Of course." "Who are you?" "I'm Joe." "Old Joe." "You know old Joe." "Alone here?" "No." "There are others." "Lead us to them." "No!" "I will not!" "They are hiding." "They are always hiding." "I like to walk here." "Don't go there." "Come this way." "We have proof of the existence of these fugitives." "I hoped that you would dispose of them for us." "With Burns and Curtway and with what they know, they can cause trouble and pose problems for us." "You follow, Bohlen?" "It's time to act." "We can talk later." "Does Merrill's presence bother you?" "He is with us." "He cannot fail to appreciate the offer that we make him." "Which one?" "To become head of the Psycho-police in my place." " But you aren't dead." " Oh, no!" "Other tasks will call me." "Gregson." "I've made up my mind." "There's no turning back." "This is the best choice." "From now on we're in this together, your life depends on your loyalty." " I'd like to understand." " All in good time." "Folden." "Hello, Folden?" "I've been thinking what you said." "The situation is serious." "Neither Bohlen nor I can take the initiative." "Ask the Captain for an immediate special meeting." "Right." "Thank you." "Whenever he wants." "We await his call." "They have never gone to all this trouble to catch one of us." "We saved them at the last minute." "Who are you?" "I'm Eddy Burns, Psycho-officer police." "He was responsible for eliminating me." "I am electrician Curtway." "George Curtway?" "You know me?" "By reputation, yes." "Burns helped me hide in the ducts." "He went to warn his colleagues." "No, I gave him a task which he couldn't fulfill." "He simply came to join me." "The police chase is a logical conclusion." "It claimed the life of Joe!" "We tried to detain him." "He has been mad for some time." "He was one of the first to escape the ship." "He lived alone with the cold and wind for some weeks." "Drinking water condensed on the pipe walls." "Until he discovered the bunkers." "When the fan stops one can get past." "Was it you who cut the current for us to reach here?" "We were expecting you." "How do you live?" "As you're going to do." "One adapts to everything." "We don't want to stay." "We will regain the ship." "Why?" "We are all in danger of death." "We must warn the Captain." "The Captain?" "Is it so serious?" "Curtway has evidence that Psycho was broken into and faked." "Can you imagine the consequences." "Can you help us?" "How?" "The cold store is under in the Captain's rooms." "There may be a way to contact him from there." "We can try." "We'll try." "For the last time Captain," "I summons you to come to us." "I have studied the ship's plans, you cannot escape." "And if I can't get out?" "I watched the film of your appointment," "It's through that wall you entered, and there you'll exit." "Open up or we'll fire until you give in." "You'll never shoot." "Think about what I said." "The use of firearms is suicide." "All the more reason." "Since I choose the less certain death." "You're going to destroy the 2,000 men on this ship?" "So it's down to this." "I give up or it's the loss of the vessel." "Enough talk!" "I'll give you five seconds to come out." " One!" "Come out, Captain!" "Engage in dialogue." " Two!" " Don't compromise us all." "Three!" "If that's the opinion of you all, gentlemen." "Unwillingly then." "Four!" "Well, you see me, gentlemen." "Did you have something important to tell me?" "Begin." "Nothing." "I have nothing more to say." "Fine." "And you, Bohlen?" "Nothing either." "You have torn your card from Psycho." "I knew from the start." " That was it!" " Don't move!" "You knew?" "It was easy enough." "The walls of your cells, your brains and your hearts are as transparent as glass." "The ship is a window through which I've watched you for generations." "I should have suspected it." "Why do you need this look?" "To guess the rest." "Come, lower your weapons." "What do you take me for?" "A man who was mistaken." "You think to impress me?" "If you know everything, agree that I cannot go back." "To what do you refer?" "The punishment your crime deserves?" "You have the conscience of a criminal." "There was no crime." "Things prove otherwise." "It's a trap, I don't believe you!" "Whatever." "You chose rebellion to take power." "There's no other way." "It's time that responsibilities were won by force of arms." "To what end?" "Bohlen and you Gregson," "I'll ask you a question." "What pushed you to scheme for the captain's place?" "The certainty that you would be more able than me?" "Or fear?" "But..." "What would be our fate if we surrendered our weapons?" "To continue your work." "After all that they've done?" "They rigged things because they wanted to live." "I watched their revolt with joy." "Enough, enough!" "Gregson, please, think." "I don't know." "Do you want to return to them?" "I no longer need you, I despise you." "Merrill!" "Move away." "Get away!" "You've lost, Captain." "You can do nothing against me." "It is right that I move to the other side of the wall." "Well, Gregson." "You're were wrong a second time." "Which of us is really the Captain?" "Well..." "Return to your place." "Who are your supporters?" "Outlaws, a rebel policeman?" "Captain." "What is the role of these individuals?" "I don't understand." "That's right, ask him the questions." "If the machine wasn't manipulated, why choose Burns as a police officer?" "Thank you, Merrill." "You've got right to the point." "Eddy Burns," "I owe you a lot." "You were the first to wonder:" ""Why me?"" "I didn't know, but I've never stopped thinking about it since." "I have no other privilege than this." "To have time to coordinate, to compare, to think." "You don't look like any of us." "But rather Joe." "I'm not crazy." "I have known neither privation nor its terrors." "He was the first to escape." "The outlaws, I discovered them later." "I only helped them later." "Too late for him." "What?" "You protected them?" "To choose suffering rather than death, do that not deserve a bit of my attention?" "Would you see more clearly if I told you that they are the men of tomorrow?" "You didn't answer Merrill." "Why Eddy Burns?" "Because the time of ultra-conditioned men chosen for a single task, is over." "It was necessary to restore to each a sense of responsibility." "So Psycho then appointed Eddy Burns at random." "What could a machine do before this problem?" "Find a man, nothing but a man who has his spirit and hands free." "Time was up." "Everything became logical." "Logical!" "He is right, logical." "Psycho continues its work organized for specific purposes with logic." "It longer sterilizes women and allows an increase in births when our reserves are falling." "Logic gives through these films a taste of adventure for our cloistered selves." "With logic, it lets the forces of life outweigh order and resignation." "Tell them what you understood." "Curtway." "We have arrived at our journey's end." "But this is Earth." "Yes." "The Earth." "Around our planet, disfigured and battered by a total atomic war," "the ship has turned for 317 years." "Today, any danger of radioactivity has been removed." "Today the journey ends." "Tomorrow..." "All begins afresh." "STAR SHIP" "from the novel by E. C.
