Would ever have

to use this place again.

I'll come down here

as often as I can.

Will you be able to survive?

I'll have to, won't I?

Yes.

Doggie.

Nice doggie.

Look at my doggie.

That's my doggie.

You know, I can't understand

Carol walking out

on you like this.

I didn't know there was anything wrong.

Hmm.

You know,

this tree smells somehow different.

Where did you get it?

Oh, I bought it at the mart.

You know,

she's just not walking out on you.

She's walking out on us.

I think it's time

We get this little one

to bed, George.

Come on, peter.

Oh, right.

Yeah.

Good night.

I'm sorry, Edna,

but I'm a little tired.

What's the matter?

I'm just not

in the mood, I guess.

.So I've noticed lately

Oh, come on, Russ.

I've been waiting

for this all day.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

I understand.

I don't think you do.

I tell you, I understand.

Then why the face?

I don't have to like it.

And you think I do?

I don't know what to think.

I have to go along with them.

I had to spend as much time

In their house as possible

To keep them away from here.

Why? You know

how to say no.

Now, you listen to me.

One word from them...

and we are finished.

Is this the way it's

going to be every night...

Me down here and you up there?

I can't stand it.

Well, you've still got time

To report to the ablab,

haven't you?

You can just walk in there and say,

"oh, I am so sorry.

I did not realize

I was this far gone."

You want me to do that?

Well...

, it's what you want

Isn't it?

No.

No.

And as a further result

of the January 1 edict,

The society is delighted

to announce

That stabilizing influences

have made it possible

To increase the caloric

allotment of every citizen

To 1,600 units per day.

The increased ration

becomes operative

As of today July 15th.

I heard him kick that time.

Her.

Have you thought

of a name for her yet?

Yes.

What?

Jesse.

Jesse?

I'm so happy.

I don't mind anything now.

I'm just counting the days.

26 days, 4 hours, and 3 minutes.

Are you sure about the minutes?

Yes. A computer

told me.

What time is it?

I don't know.

I suppose I'd better be

going back down to Siberia

Before that b*tch comes in

with your breakfast tray.

Yeah.

Oh.

Telescreen service.

Can I help you?

Can I help you?

No, I'm sorry.

It's a mistake

I don't think she noticed.

Oh!

Shh!

Take it easy.

Oh!

I'll be all right.

Oh.

Shh.

Oh!

The society takes knowledge

To be the province

of every citizen.

When knowledge comes,

wisdom lingers.

Therefore,

The audio-Visual

encyclorama library

Is open to every citizen

who thirsts for education

In our world,

Past and present.
