:31:00
I apologize for my lateness, Senator.
[ Growls ]
:31:06
I stopped to see my father.
:31:09
- How is my old friend doing ?
- Slipping, I'm afraid.
:31:12
I'd like to spend more time
with him, but these are troubled days.
:31:17
The humans
infest the provinces.
:31:19
Yes, because our cities
encroach upon their habitat.
:31:22
They breed too quicklywhile
we grow soft in our affluence.
:31:25

:31:28
Why can't the government
simply sterilize them all ?
:31:31
The cost would
beprohibitive.
:31:34
Although,
our scientists do tell me...
:31:36
these humans carry terrible diseases.
:31:40
How would we know that ?
:31:42
The army burns the bodies
before they're examined.
:31:44
[ Growls ]
:31:48
Father ?
:31:51
[ Growls ]
:31:52
Mm-hmm.
:31:54
Uh, at times perhaps...
:31:57
the Senate feels that the army
has been a tad extreme.
:32:02
Extremism in defense ofapes
is no vice, Senator.
:32:08
Your ideas threaten our prosperity.
:32:11
The human problem cannot be
solved by simply throwing money at it.
:32:14
The government
tried that once.
:32:17
All we got for it was a welfare state
that nearly bankrupted us.
:32:21
I think the city has about
as much diversity as I can handle.
:32:25
Look. Look at this garment.
This was made by one ofmy humans.
:32:31
[ Sighs ]
:32:32
Can you deny the skill ?
:32:35
Isn't it obvious that they
are capable ofa real culture ?
:32:38
Everything in the human culture
takes place below the waist.

We give thanks toyou, Semos,
for the fruit ofthe land.
