That's what the difference is.
That I picked it and I fixed it.
It has a taste,
and it has some color!
And it has a smell!
It calls back a time when there
were flowers all over the Earth!
And there were valleys!
And there were plains
you could lie down in,
that you could
go to sleep in!
And there were blue skies,
And there were things
growing all over the place,
not just in domed enclosures
blasted some millions
of miles out into space!
Look at that stuff.
How can you guys sit there
and really say anything
to me about this.
Look at this crap!
Look at that!
Dried, synthetic crap!
And you've become
so dependent on it that I bet
you can't live without it.
Why do we want to,
Lowell?
Don't you realize
how pitiful that is,
what you just asked me?
On Earth, everywhere you go,
the temperature is 75 degrees.
Everything is the same.
All the people
are exactly the same.
What kind of life is that?
If it's so rotten,
why do you want to go back?
Because it's not too late
to change it.
What do you want,
Lowell?
I mean, there's
hardly any more disease.
There's no more poverty.
Nobody's out of a job.
That's right. Every time
we have the argument,
you give me the same three
answers all the time.
The same thing.
"Well, everybody has a job."
That's always the last one.
But you know what else
there's no more of, my friend?
There is no more beauty,
and there's no more imagination.
And there are no frontiers
left to conquer.
And you know why?
Only one reason why!
One reason why!
The same attitude that
right here in this room today,
and that is:
nobody cares.Look on the wall behind you.
Look at that little girl's face.
I know you've seen it.
But do you know what she's
never gonna be able to see?
to see the simple wonder
of a leaf in her hand...
because there's
not gonna be any trees.
If people were interested,
something would have been
done a long time ago.
You ready?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm ready.
Hey, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
I don't think you guys
understand what this means.
Please don't blow up
the domes.
Which one first?
High forest.
Let's do it first.
Let's hit Six.
But they're
not disposable.
Ain't got any choice, Lowell.
But they're not replaceable.
Where's that tube?
Ow!
My hand.
Hey, you all right?
Get Lowell to fix
that for you.
Damn!
Really.
Yeah.
Will you help me?
Oh, yeah.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Get on in here now.
Come on.
Valley Forge, Valley Forge,
safe distancing maneuver
