return our ships
to commercial service.
I have received
no explanation,
and we must begin
at 0900 in the morning.
May God have mercy on us all.
This is it!
We're going home!
I can't believe it.
I told you, I told you.
What'd I say?
We can pack up those
domes and go home.
[Anderson]
...auto-destruct
of all forest units.
[Anderson Continues]
Kiss 'em good-bye, boys.
Hey, Lowell,
I'm sorry.
Makes sense, you know?
It's insane.
Let's go.
[Transmission Continues, Indistinct]

# Growing wild #
# In the sun #
# Doomed #
# In his innocence #

# Gather your children #

# In the sun #
# Tell them #
# All they love will die #
# Tell them why #
# In the sun #
# Tell them #
# It's not too late #
# Cultivate #
# One by one #
# Tell them to harvest #
# And rejoice #

How far out do they go
before they blow up?
[Barker]
About six miles.
We should feel a hefty jolt.
I want a front-row seat
when these babies go.
I'll bet you do.
Lowell, do you have
to eat that stuff?
It stinks!
You never let up,
do you?
Well--
Oh, now you hurt
his feelings.
I'd like to know what any one
of you knows about real food.
What do you mean "real food"?
What, out of the dirt?
That's real food?
That's right.
This happens to be
nature's greatest gift.
- To a celibate, maybe.
- [Laughing]
Come on, you guys.
Maybe he knows something
we don't. Hmm?
Lowell, give me a slice
of that cantaloupe.
Don't ask Lowell.
I'd be delighted to give you
a slice of that cantaloupe.
Just sit down and shut up.
Sit down, sit down, sit down!
Shut up and leave me alone,
all of you! Let me eat!
What's the big deal?
I can't see the difference
between that and this.
You don't see the difference?
The difference is I grew it!
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
of tall, green grass that
you could lie down in,
that you could
go to sleep in!
And there were blue skies,
and there was fresh air!
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.
[All Chuckling]
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
you three guys are giving me
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?
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.
[Sighs]
If people were interested,
