But this weapon shop is a defiance of all the decencies that make life under the House of Isher such a joy. Look at the hypocritical sign: ‘The right to buy weapons–’ Aaaahh!
Kay, give the kid a weapon. A Series Four De-atomizer.
Oh goody! My illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator!
Now, you and I are the only thing standin’ between that ugly bastard and a city of 2 million people! Now we have a choice here: we either sit and wait, or we take these flare guns and do something really stupid.
Now be a dragonman! Or go between and stay there.
“Take a wormhole jump to hell” was an old curse one almost never heard in a pilot’s mouth.
I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars, but she’s gone much, much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos. Pure… evil.
I must warn you, we’re going to pass through, well, a sort of gateway thing.
It may disturb you. It scares the willies out of me.
It’s bigger on the inside!
The farther in you go, the bigger it gets!
Do you want to know what it is?
Act now while this offer lasts. Step right up–who’ll be the first?
You know, Mr. Tully, you are a most fortunate individual.
You make my mouth water.
Shut up, Wesley!
In space no one can hear you scream.
I never went in much for science fiction.
It’s Probing time.
Oh, that’s not right!
Within the next ten years Rossum’s Universal Robots will produce so much wheat, so much cloth, so much everything that things will no longer have any value. Everyone will be able to take as much as he needs. There’ll be no more poverty. Yes, people will be out of work, but by then there’ll be no work left to be done. Everything will be done by living machines. People will do only what they enjoy. They will live only to perfect themselves… But before that some awful things may happen, Miss Glory. That just can’t be avoided. But then the subjugation of man by man and the slavery of man to matter will cease. Never again will anyone pay for his bread with hatred and his life. There’ll be no more laborers, no more secretaries. No one will have to mine coal or slave over someone else’s machines. No longer will man need to destroy his soul doing work that he hates.
