some colour
and it has a smell.
It calls back a time when there
were flowers all over the earth.
There were valleys, and there were
plains of tall green grass...
..that you could lie down in,
that you could go to sleep in.
There were blue skies
and there was fresh air.
There were things growing everywhere,
not just in domes...
..blasted millions of miles out into space.
Look at that stuff. How can you guys sit
there and say anything to me about this?
Look at this crap! Look at that!
Dried, synthetic crap!
You've become so dependent on it,
I bet you can't even live without it.
Why would we want to, Lowell?
Don't you realise how pitiful that is,
what you just asked me?
On earth, everywhere you go,
the temperature is 75є.
Everything is the same.
All the people are exactly the same.
Now, what kind of life is that?
- So why do you wanna go back?
- Because it's not too late to change it.
What do you want, Lowell?
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 say the same thing.
You give me the same three answers.
"Everybody has a job."
That's always the last one.
But you know what else there is
no more of? There is no more beauty.
There's no more imagination and no
frontiers left to conquer. You know why?
One reason why. The same attitude that
you guys are givin' me 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 you know what she's never
gonna be able to see?
She's never gonna be able to see
the simple wonder of a leaf in her hand,...
..because there's not gonna be any trees.
Now, you think about that.
If people were interested, something
would've been done a long time ago.
- Are you ready?
- I'm ready.
Wait a minute. I don't think
you guys understand what this means.
Please don't blow up the domes.
- Which one first?
- Outboard cluster first. Let's hit six.
- They're not disposable.
- I haven't got any choice, Lowell.
They're not replaceable.
Where's that tube?
- My hand.
- Are you all right?
- You better get Lowell to fix that for you.
- Damn.
Really.
Will you help me?
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Get on in here now.
Valley Forge. Safe-distancing
manoeuvre in five minutes.
Valley Forge, please stand by...
..for 1000 hours safe-distancing
manoeuvre in five minutes.
I'm gonna need your help for that,
you know, Lowell?
- There you go.
- Thank you.
Here.
Set gyro at 4406.
This is Berkshire.
You there, Marty?
I'm on it, Neal.
OK, we're counting down
for your 4406 distancing,...
..about 20 seconds.
- Set for distancing.
- Right.
Eight, seven, six, five...
..four, three, two, one. That's a go.
Thanks, Marty. We 're clear.
Stand by for updates.
Andy.
- The bomb, please.
- All right.
Loaded and ready to go.
99909 plus 49.
04 plus 8.
Right!
OK, looks real good. That's a go.
We're ready for some
real fireworks here. 25 seconds.
We're looking forward to it, too, Neal.
Keep a steady hand, Marty.
Don't want one ofyou getting hurt.
Right. Will do.
Where the hell is Lowell now?
I think I saw him near One
with some empty flowerpots.
That must be Berkshire.
Do we need this?
Andy, easy with that.
No, we use the panel. It's safer.
- John, would you get those lights?
- Sure.
Nothin' up on the board.
- Well, set six.
- Gotcha.
- OK. Arm six.
- Armed.
Hit it.
No.
You're not comin' in here.
- What are you doin'?
- You're not comin' in here.
- Look, I know how you feel.
- If you knew how I felt,...
..you wouldn't be in here with that.
I'm on a tight schedule
and I don't wanna fight.
I don't care. You are not
using those things in my forest.
- I ain't got time to argue. Now, move!
- You're not gonna do it.
You can't blow up this forest.
Valley Forge.
Come in, Valley Forge. Reading 4040.
Berkshire to Valley Forge. Come in,
Valley Forge.
