yes quite a lot the georgette film a

hustler yes do you remember that opening

hot road two men in the car my office

the way they did the credits remember

with a film stopping then starting again

they do the same thing in the uncle

Phillips Uvas you know those aqua films

yes the reason why I pick up hitchhikers

is for the company I like to you what

they have to say

Thank You Saleh bumming rides huh for

long drive me carve it down

I pick up a lot of people they always

tell you some kind of story

doesn't matter whether it's true or not

you live in the city most of my life or

her I never worry about the camp he

tried to sort I mean I mean some people

think it's dangerous you never know who

it might be

no I don't like the way the engine

sounds what I'd like to do is to pull up

to the side and have a look at some of

the clouds ah there's a bit of a variety

pull off quite easily you can give me a

hand we both go into town together I

guess that's all right isn't it yes of

course

I've got some tools in the boot I think

it's important have a good set of tools

do you want a cigarette I don't use them

Thanks I've had this car before here

how old do you what do you saying why

did you give up smoking there's a plug

range down down there would you get it

for me

my daughter Tiffany guy the daughter

she's got this plan he's only 11 now she

wants to travel all around the world

can you imagine little girl all around

the world I said to her why travel I

mean you've got everything here holiday

that's all I think everyone needs a

change recharge the old batteries all

that but you know her plan is she wants

to live on the moon keep going

cover the world next year anyway I said

to her how is little girl like you it's

gonna travel without money oh we have

great times together to us we don't take

it seriously you know what I mean I say

who's gonna pay just funny little thing

see I think they ever moon just want to

work I think that's what it is

hey what do you think of that plan then

I shall have to think about it

look I don't think I want to ride any

further today you go on and leave me

here thanks very much for the lid

we oughta go in the end

let me soften you up with a bit of good

news our request for to synaptic systems

has been favorably received some of you

place more reliance on this approach

than I do but I think we can all feel

pleased but the general trend towards

what used to be regarded as basic

analysis is being continued at our level

but I would like to emphasize the need

for revised speculation which we

discussed at some length last month but

let me get down to the main point the

reason why I have brought you all

together is that over the next 10 days

we will have to start five committees

one of just under 300 people I will

direct that one myself and I would like

to start blocking out our plans the big

committee will be a fairly costly affair

all the invitees have contrary

imaginations there will be very few

probes and I'm hoping to hold this at

the lodge if it's free then we can get

going very quickly

the second committee which I have

Phillips will take will consist of 18

and Phillips and I have already

discussed this at some length

as the rights to argue but Simpson

society no longer provides the means of

sustenance which he would like to see

designed him provide if ladies fell over

for coming he has divided therefore to

inform society that he no longer wishes

to partake either of the rewards of

society nor necessarily contribute

towards any of society's if I may be

allowed to finish without any

interruption I'll take any pork

information speech essentially I'm

talking about it that in specific

situation set in a much wider context we

all know what is at stake and I would

much appreciate it if we could in fact

come straight to the point without the

usual circumlocution which has in the

demolished debate in the past the

ownership has spoken for the motion have

done so with extreme lucidity but none

of their arguments has been relevant to

pull those be condensed to whom this

comment also applies of a some very

interesting arguments all the way to be

equally irrelevant you all know

excuse me your coat is sticking out

good morning good morning

other thing is I'm sorry to take up your

time but something's come up and I

should just have to go away for a while

that's impossible we can't possibly let

anybody go off waiting times are too

long as they are now but I have this

letter to go on a committee committee I

don't know what it's about it doesn't

say very much you can't tell from the

letter what they have in mind

the usual way you get a letter in and

often a committee for a day or many

weeks ever had one of these before no I

am I've heard people talk about them

from time to time

do you know much about them could be

anything I was on one years again

consisted of eight men we were asked to

decide which of five oranges we thought

was the roundest

that's unusual then mostly it's like a

long weekend in the country a sort of

continuous house party great fun really

seems strange how people just go along

with it she's got the wrong idea they

don't bother people you may have to fill

out a form or so while they do the work

I know Ralph on a committee you're part

of it there's no question of bothering

people but what are they doing this

you might as well ask what is a

telephone man is doing going down a

manhole they keep the system going a new

quest you'll enjoy yourself

I'll see that someone observe do your

work I guess some people come back a

little changed and that change can be a

lot

look I saw an interesting film last

night I'd like to talk to you about it

let me buy you a drink after work yes

okay thanks very much

oh it is bananas it's all unregister can

we leave our suitcase here please yes

that's fine

you'll find your rooms in the building

immediately behind this block Oh Sookie

yes there is we have quite a range of

facilities here tennis and boating and

so on

excuse me

if you would please be patient we'll

take care of everyone very quickly when

we do be sure to fill in one of these

forms and if we could have it back

before lunch if possible or shortly

afterwards are you together yes 1:37

let's lift up directly behind this

thank you

well here we go how long do you think

this committee will take it's difficult

to say until we've processed the forms

when the printouts come back from the

city I shall have a pretty good idea

coming back to what we were discussing

before I think my position is consistent

with the evidence of the past 400 years

haven't the past 400 years been rather

exceptional even so

I take it that you'll be leaving on your

committee this evening

having an idea what this is all about

I'm waiting for this evening we could be

here for a month so far as I'm concerned

you're so right

excuse me have your teeth been bothering

you and no no not especially

well that's alright then

I'm sorry but it's the most

extraordinary thing you look exactly

like my wife oh no I mean it's

remarkable you've got the same for it

the same artists the same nose

exactly the same mom everything's except

for the moustache of course

would you care for a game with table

tennis oh no thanks I was just going for

a swim

hello hi hey I have this did you come

this morning I didn't see you

yes I was here how are you okay

mother's been asking about you you

really should write to her yes I know

I will do it's great this committee just

like a free holiday not for me what do

you mean what are you getting at well

look I'll tell you I'm worried I mean I

really am frightened I think this

committee is because of me see how will

I cut this fellow dead once anyway he's

here at the lodge now now you must be

wrong

what did he say oh nothing I don't think

he remembers me but I'm sure this is it

sure good escape then we'll get away

tonight after the party when everyone's

gone to bed we'll get away you know what

I mean yes yes I know what you mean

you mean I'll get away it's not you I'm

sure

okay

actually I'm not particularly fond about

it but I think I know a good one when I

see one

do you think spiritualism you know

communications the death is the same

thing as ESP something

where I come from there are two things

going to stay there

those creatures that Cocteau has in his

films with horses heads and men's bodies

their senators in Reverse

you mean centaurs yes central was in

Reverse

used to keep cracking up all the time we

would be sitting around waiting for a

taxi to take her to the hospital and she

would be sitting there saying things

like it's dreadful it's awful it's

disgraceful

so just keep saying things like that

it's awful it's horrible

but it is hard

I felt really happy 1e I've taken a girl

out from the office for a meal and we

were walking back to her place

I was really looking forward to it well

on the way we passed the pet shop it was

an empty street just the light from the

window of this pet shop and there in the

window was a big tank full of little

turtles little pet turtles and most of

them had painted backs someone had come

along and painted different colors and

little flowers or short messages on

their backs and then I noticed one of

them had a mother-of-pearl back the

turtle was inlaid with mother-of-pearl

and the girl grabbed my arm in

excitement and said look look oh look at

that cute little one with the

mother-of-pearl why I knew then I just

wouldn't go out to her room just see her

dressing-table scattered with bits of

female equipment hair pins and curlers

and various things combs and brushes all

inlaid with mother-of-pearl

shut

Holly Rumble heirloom sky

I've never tell you live

No

horrific

would you come and see me in my office

please sit down

I'd like to take a blood sample

is there something you want to tell me

what do you want to know I'd like you to

tell me what happened in the glade that

day do you want to know why why I cut

his head off and put it back on yes

I didn't mean to do him any permanent

harm I wanted to take his head and play

a joke with it like putting it on a wall

and frightening people as they walked by

but the joke got lost and in the end I

put his head back on it sounds as if you

expect me to judge you responsible or

irresponsible innocent or guilty sane or

insane I'll judge myself you may judge

yourself but I can condition you to pass

any judgment I like if you hold an

opinion it's because I let you hold that

opinion why do you say I why not we if

you like we're getting away from the

glade

I don't mean to sound like a snob but

that man worrying about his car

you know what I mean he's not alive

if you can do what you say why don't you

wake him up just tell me what happened

you could ask him

but he couldn't tell you

that's the point isn't it he couldn't

tell you can you tell me I can't tell

you this in that car there was nothing

see nothing just talk

it's fair to say isn't it

that a man like that doesn't think it

doesn't really feel he goes through the

motions of being human because nobody

told him different look you may be the

best surgeon in town but you're not

making yourself very clear oh why

doesn't he think okay for all I know he

may be a very clever and successful

persik cessful in whose term in our turn

his terms don't matter yes in some sense

they don't matter I know that sounds

awful I probably don't even mean it

maybe I have the whole thing wrong the

only thing to do is to try to make

things better in whose terms

but I'd like to explain to you about

that guy he's

enclosed in himself he goes on and on I

get the feeling that he just isn't

concerned concerned with other people I

mean everything else is a matter of

taste a matter of opinion but if anyone

can live on this earth and not care

about other people so you cut his head

off the thing you really seem to hold

against him is typifies by what you did

there I did nothing to him he's okay I

put it back on the head on his head yeah

I put the right head back on in that car

I was suffocating

not just there lots of times

we're helpless really

you as well if we are hopeless then we

are not responsible but there is a

difference between things I can hold my

breath but my blood flows regardless you

can hold your breath for a little while

but if you stop the blood flowing that's

for good in the womb the baby thinks

that it's the universe and when the baby

is born

there is a glimmer of light I was there

but now I am here so there are two

things me and the universe the universe

is there for me

then what happened other people that's

what happens I'm skipping the details

just hitting the main points other

people in thoughts you can try to clear

the deck but in practice there is a lot

of history

in a way you sell yourself at the

universe

is that for you

now tell me what happened in the glade

I did something to myself

like entertainment like amusing like a

daydream

there was nothing there

and I saw something

I saw his head under the bonnet of the

car you can say what you like but I saw

the bird of paradise spread its wings

and the suffocating

are you still suffocating now not just

now you know that's the one thing I can

do why can't you put yourself in my

shoes because it would mean eliminating

me in effect killing me or are you

afraid to see yourself and Who am I

you're the director of the committee you

are the state the trouble is that before

the conversation even begins everything

has been said ten years from now there

will be a person wandering around and

people will say that it is you now they

say that it will be you but what really

is your obligation to him suppose he

starves does that bother you can you

experience his pleasures in a way yes

like you can experience mine

between your relation to yourself in the

future and other people knock I may be

the director of a committee in the

future I cannot think there is something

that we're driving at it but I I can't

see what it is do you believe that I

have access to knowledge that I

understand something about society yes

do you want me to stop the games and

just come out with it

suppose I were to tell you

just like that in a phrase do you have

any idea what it would sound like do you

think you could understand it do you

have any idea what will it be a socket

do you think you could what would it

look like and could you even recognize

it

what do you have and will it always be

the same do you think you could

understand it I can tell you one thing

you're just as much a part of it as me

and him

what interests me about Authority is the

bakery and what interests me about

rejection of authority is also a bakery

I think the whole world is a madhouse

an extended madhouse is that a way of

saying that you are mad as long as the

dialogue goes on there's a chance of

rationality not everyone would agree

with that let me ask you a question

suppose we could get far enough away

from human society to observe it with

detachment what would it look like a

mold a colony of bacteria going through

the familiar phases

and if so what would we do about it

try to break the ghastly chain with what

means you would have to understand the

process or else just lash out strike at

something it's late in the day maybe too

late I'd suggest we look for the best

shortcut

back to the lodge yes if you like

back to the lodge

it's obvious that my contract with

society was not total

I may have cut my head off and put it

back on again but the wound didn't close

up completely

not completely

some people think that the criminals and

the mad are the real heroes why not in a

corrupt world in a pointless and vicious

society but in a reasonable society

there are no criminals

so what criminal act can turn a

reasonable society into an unreasonable

one and back again to the lunch

yes if you like

do you play bridge
