:23:00
You'll miss your plane!
:23:19
Paul, what you're saying is that we should
give up our leadership in electronics.
:23:24
You're wrong. My report says
Thorn Industries' main interest...
:23:28
...is in energy and electronics.
:23:30
Because of this bias, we ignore
what's going on here at this plant.
:23:35
We ignore it at our own risk. Our profitable
future, aside from energy, lies also in famine.
:23:40
What?! That statement is typical of you,
Paul. It's heartless and...
:23:44
And true. Not heartless, realistic.
:23:47
Pasarian, hold it here.
:23:51
Are these solutions designated?
:23:53
No, not yet. Each tank
has a different fertiliser and pesticide.
:23:57
They won't be designated until
we pump it into the experimental crop beds.
:24:01
All right, let's go on.
:24:04
(Paul) One person dies of starvation
every 8.6 seconds.
:24:07
Seven every minute.
420 every hour. 10,000 every day!
:24:12
To feed these people,
we have to farm the ocean.
:24:15
We have to develop new strains
of high-yield, disease-resistant grain crops.
:24:19
The oil countries didn't hesitate
to squeeze ourjugular vein.
:24:22
So, what's so different about food?
:24:25
If you've got a knife at your belly,
you'll keep still.
:24:28
Why, then, call my policy unethical?
:24:30
It's callous and inhuman...
and in my opinion, illegal.
:24:33
What is inhuman about feeding people?
:24:36
- Telephone, Mr Thorn.
- I'm busy.
:24:38
It's an emergency, sir.
:24:43
Bill's point is, if we control the food people
eat, it's tantamount to making slaves of them.
:24:48
- Ah, customers!
- But you want us to buy up their land.
:24:51
Thorn's have the hardware and knowledge...
:24:54
...that's easily adaptable
to the purpose of large-scale farming.
:24:57
This, with the pesticides
and fertilisers we produce...
