Insolence. Defiance.
Disregard of authority.
:09:05
Doing 25 to life.

I don't think he's gonna hurt us.
:09:10
You aren't gonna hurt us,
are you, Mr. Cole ?
:09:14
No, sir.
:09:27
Why don't you sit down, Mr. Cole ?
:09:52
We appreciate your volunteering.
You're a very good observer.
:09:57
- Thank you.
- We have
a very advanced program.
:10:00
- Something very different.
- Opportunity
to reduce your sentence.
:10:04
And possibly play an important role...
:10:06
in returning the human race
to the surface of the Earth.
:10:09
We want tough-minded people.
Strong mentally.
:10:15
We've had some misfortunes
with... unstable types.
:10:19
For a man
in your position, an opportunity.
:10:23
Not to volunteer

:10:26
Definitely a mistake.

:10:42
tinier even than science,
:10:45
Iurking in some
vague electricity.
:10:47
But if we but listen,
:10:50
we hear the solitary voice
of that poet telling us...
:10:55
yesterday this day's madness
did prepare...
:10:59
- tomorrow's silent triumph of despair.
