May we request that you

make your three selections

At the central desk

and keep moving.

Others are waiting in line

To share your happiest bliss.

The flora and fauna on show here

Are either the result of a

ceaseless search on your behalf

Or have been artificially

cultivated on the premises

By members

of our laboratory staff.

Almost all of the species

have been extinct

Since the end

of the 20th century.

Many of the fascinating replicas

of marine and animal life

May appear frightening

to children,

But we assure each parent

there is no cause for alarm.

In fact, many of these animals,

Although totally unproductive,

Were kept as domestic pets

and bought as playmates

For 20th century children.

These animals

contributed nothing,

Were not a source of food.

Our museum houses the

largest selection of flowers

On this continent.

These aesthetic objects have

been hydroponically cultivated,

And hence it's been impossible

To recreate their

former aromatic properties.

These flowers,

pleasing to the eye as they are...

get out of there.

Come on.

Get out of there.

I am now going to take

this gasoline pump

And pour gasoline into this car,

Which is also from the 1970s,

And that's all there was to it.

Sweet substances caused grave

disorders of the teeth,

And remedial surgery had to be

conducted with primitive instruments.

These surgeons

were called dentists.

However, the true cause

Of our present

atmospheric conditions

Was the unrealistic

and inept policies

Of the leaders of industry.

The crimes committed by them

Were further perpetuated by the

political and religious leaders

Who irresponsibility allowed

the equally devastating crime

Of overpopulation.

Time... The time is 13:55.

Will all museum officials

Report to their

designated posts.

And humanity suffered

the great famine

And the smog blanket age.

Outside and to the rear

of the museum

You may visit our 20th

century life exhibition.

This is comprised of

a street of seven houses,

Any one of which

is a perfect replica

Of the domicile

of the 20th century family.

Each home is fully equipped

With all the household gadgets

Which have been obsolete...

Who's with who tonight?

Well, if you want

to go with Carol,

I think she's coming

down with a cold.

She must have got it from me.

I cured mine with a

big dose of aspirin.

There ought to be a law

against free-Breeding germs.

I think I'd better

sleep alone tonight.

Why did you lie to George?

Why did you play along?

I don't know.

Why lie?

Well, I don't know.

Edna's behaving like a b*tch

for the last couple of days.

Besides, you might be

coming down with something.
