my wife again today. What? Wife? Eternals can't be married. How old were you when you were recruited? Forty two. -That old? I've been here for three years. Dr. Yamada. Why does Cooper dream about his wife? I ordered you to remove all unnecessary memories. Dr. Twissell, I've studied his memory carefully. I believe that... the thing is, dreaming is part of the subconscious. And any major adjustments to his subcortex could reflect on his intellect. I don't want any excuses. Cooper must forget his wife, his home, his homewhen. And I will not tolerate any damage to his intellectual capacities. If you cannot perform the procedure, there are others who can. And they could take your place as Senior Medic. That is all. Cooper, would you mind if we put off today's lesson? I need to visit Reality. Could I come with you? -Would you like to? Sure. I've never been in a kettle except when they brought me here, I didn't know what was happening at the time. -Well, let's go. Leave that. So, Cooper, are you ashamed to be walking next to a Technician? Since it's the Technicians that make the changes in time? No, you're my teacher. Besides, you've shown me Technicians aren't so bad. Say, Cooper. Has anyone ever told you that you look just like Vikkor Mallansohn? Which Mallansohn? The creator of Eternity? Yes. The one who discovered the temporal field and created Eternity. Technician Harlan, you're wanted urgently at Senior Computer Twissell's office. You've lost your mind. Are you on the Allwhen Council now, boy? Answer me! Dr. Twissell... -Silence! Being my personal Technician doesn't mean you can do whatever you like. I thought... -Thought! He thought, by Time. If you could think, you wouldn't have taken Cooper with you on that kettle. What was your assignment? -To teach Cooper Primitive history. Then do nothing more than that. Kettle trips are out of the question. I doubt anyone else would dare to do something like this. They would have been transferred to plumbing repair, for life. Do you understand that I have to discipline you? -Yes, Doctor. I'm sending you to the 48th Section. You'll be at the disposal of Computer Finge. Anything but that. Do you dislike Finge that much? A Technician isn't supposed to like or dislike anybody. Finge, on the other hand, insists that you specifically be sent. I can't refuse him. Go. -Yes, sir. Greetings, Technician Harlan. Greetings, Computer. In the time since you left, a crisis has gradually gathered about the 48th. This situation is a delicate one... Almost unprecedented. We need accurate observation now as we never have needed it before. And you want me to observe? Yes, that's right. I realize it's a waste of talent to ask a Technician to do a job of observation. But in the current situation, we need a combination of exactly these two qualities you possess. Hello. Now I'll just sketch in a few details. First of all, you mustn't consider your appointment as Observer a demotion... Are you listening to me? Are you listening? Yes, I'm listening. Well, in any case, you'll get all this in an official report. You're free to go. What a strange man. -We're all strange here. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get along with him. It seems he's hated me from the moment he laid eyes on me. The last woman he saw until today was his mother. And that was a very, very... very long time ago. There's a woman in Computer Finge's office. Who is she? She's a Timer. She's new. -What's her job? She's supposed to be the boss's secretary. Her name is Noys Lambent... -That'll do. Computer Finge, I suggest that Miss Lambent be returned to Time. So, Technician Harlan, you find her incompetent? Unsuitable? -As to her incompetence and unsuitability, I cannot say. It depends on the uses to which she is put. But you must realize That she is bad for the morale of this section. In what way is she hurting ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст 9 рота на английском - текст Смертельная охота на английском - текст Предместье на английском - текст Агония на английском - текст Формула любви на английском |
