:15:03
To a celibate, maybe.
:15:06
Come on, you guys.
Maybe he knows something we don't.

:15:09
Lowell, give me a slice
of that cantaloupe.

:15:12
Don't ask Lowell for a slice.
I'd be delighted to give you a slice of it.

:15:16
Just sit down and shut up.
Sit down. Sit down!

:15:19
And shut up and leave me alone,
all of you, and let me eat.

:15:22
What's the big deal? I can't see
the difference between that and this.

:15:25
You don't see the difference?
The difference is that I grew it.

:15:29
That's what the difference is.
I picked it and I fixed it.

:15:32
And it has a taste, and it has some colour
and it has a smell.

:15:38
It calls back a time when there
were flowers all over the earth.

:15:41
There were valleys, and there were
plains of tall green grass...

:15:45
..that you could lie down in,
that you could go to sleep in.

:15:48
There were blue skies
and there was fresh air.

:15:51
There were things growing everywhere,
not just in domes...

:15:54
..blasted millions of miles out into space.
:15:59
Look at that stuff. How can you guys sit
there and say anything to me about this?

:16:04
Look at this crap! Look at that!
:16:06
Dried, synthetic crap!
:16:09
You've become so dependent on it,
I bet you can't even live without it.

:16:13
Why would we want to, Lowell?
:16:15
Don't you realise how pitiful that is,
what you just asked me?

:16:18
On earth, everywhere you go,
the temperature is 75ยบ.

:16:23
Everything is the same.
All the people are exactly the same.

:16:29
Now, what kind of life is that?
:16:31
- So why do you wanna go back?
- Because it's not too late to change it.

:16:36
What do you want, Lowell?
There's hardly any more disease.

:16:39
There's no more poverty.
Nobody's out of a job.

:16:41
That's right. Every time we have
the argument, you say the same thing.

:16:45
You give me the same three answers.
:16:48
"Everybody has a job."
That's always the last one.

:16:50
But you know what else there is
no more of? There is no more beauty.

:16:54
There's no more imagination and no
frontiers left to conquer. You know why?

:16:59
One reason why. The same attitude that
you guys are givin' me in this room today.
