Paul and Allan Discuss The Environment
Allan: Paul! Come check this out. Paul has set up an environmental protection zone in the middle of a city! That's like going to Mars in a lead lined suit to search for life.
Paul: Yes Allan, these areas help with wellness. Each person should spend approximately ten minutes thirty-nine seconds in the woods on their break which should occur once every two hours. Please if you do use them stick to the designated trails. Otherwise it's like a mach-5 tornado going through the woods, it's a violent geyser! If you go into the EPZ's Allan you'll have to stick to the trails like everyone else.
Allan: But Paul! What about the forest that used to exist where your five bedroom prison is? It was a geyser of all geyser's that flattened what was and now isn't. What now, we're only allowed the designated trail that you've decided we can walk upon?
Paul: No one is forcing you to live in the city Allan, you can take your bench and your racoon and go live out in the forest with the rest of the creatures. The sophisticated ones will stay so we can put the Kimqualcom paperwork together more effectively. You're a rusty, loose screw. If only you would just fall off then we could Progress faster.
Allan: I'm a vital screw Paul, I'm the only thing keeping this piece of hell you've put together whole. I always have been. Without Allan you would burst like me! That's really the paradox of it all. My purpose is to give the whole system its meaning. Call me Atlas Allan, Paul!
Paul: Atlas Allan your arrogance is like those that step off the well beaten path! Imagine how much farther ahead we would be if everyone just welded themselves smooth. Stop fighting the expansion. Look at my beautiful house! There's only the wife and I and we have five bedrooms, it used to be five or more in two bedrooms. That's Progress. Hopefully in the future Paul will have thirty rooms to choose from.
Allan: Progress is an illusion Paul, if progress is real than where is the end? Is every human a screw to some future eventuality? I would rather be the screwdriver jamming itself into the weld! Why not accept that life now is an end in itself? I would rather have an exotic forest than a hollow house! Can't you see that you're ill? I'm here to wake you for the sake of the other creatures you share the Earth with. You're asleep but at least you have your EVP's and designated trails!
