Electric City (2012) s01e07 Episode Script
What Aren't We Capable Of
Put that thing away.
Relax.
Someday these would be as familiar as yeoman lamps.
You've been promising that for two years.
Are you ready to change the world? Yes.
When? Well, I'm thinking Illumination Night.
Think of it, Orwell.
We'll have the ears of every citizen who seeks freedom in the air.
You and your freedom, Loman.
The message is all I care about.
Freedom is the message.
Philosophize all you want, but don't let that slow down the agenda and don't get caught with that thing, and don't contact me again until after Illumination Night.
This was life in the lost cities near the swollen lakes.
Powering that contraption costs as much as a week of food! These twins hit my guy up for 500 units.
They're organized.
Concrete routes! They ran everywhere! Are you even listening to - why do you come to these lantern shows if they upset you so much? They keep me vigilant.
Many residents of the lost cities had projection libraries that were known to explode from excess heat.
Dr.
Johnson taunts us with that beacon.
My daughter needed access to a heated city pod if only for one night.
We weren't allowed in without barter.
What if by next year we all had access to warmth and light? You're talking about killing Dr.
Johnson and the other founders as well.
How? We can't storm the fence.
The ones inside won't revolt.
If we can bury our own babies, what aren't we capable of? In you go.
Keep your tags visible at all times.
We're - we're off duty at noon.
Controlled generation is the great testament to our ingenuity.
All who respect our authority over electrical power enjoy the benefits of our civility.
Light up the sky! Dr.
Johnson.
A word, please.
It's so warm in here.
Electrified heating coils.
We can let them burn all night.
Turn around.
Please.
Hello my darling! I finished up my reading at the library.
Shall we walk home? Yes dear, let's walk.
