Scientist:
|

... and it's so simple, it's... it's almost elegant.
|
||||
It has the speed, it has the effectiveness,
|
||||
so we introduce the fungus to the gut of the mosquito.
|
||||
We just need a more virulent strain.
|
||||
Ending the mosquito ends malaria.
|
||||
Dengue fever, yellow fever, West Nile virus.
|
||||
We believe we are very close...

<nw>– Carvel:</nw>

It won't work.
|

|

<nw>– Scientist:</nw>
|

I beg your pardon?
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Carvel:</nw>
|
||||
M. anisopliae? That's what you're talking about? It won't work.
|
||||
There's poor stability in the sporulating strains.
|
||||
You'll get 35% effectiveness at best before the mosquito out-evolves it.
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Scientist:</nw>
|
||||
We believe...
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Carvel:</nw>
|
||||
Besides, there are 3,500 species of mosquito.
|
||||
They've been around for 100 million years.
|
||||
You think you can just yank them out of existence?
|
||||
I mean, you do realise half the birds in the Arctic tundra will starve to death?
|
||||
I mean, you have actually thought of that or are you just fucking idiots?
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Scientist:</nw>
|
||||
And how would you cure malaria?
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Carvel:</nw>
|
||||
Cure malaria? Why would we want to cure malaria?
|
||||
Malaria's doing a great job. Leave malaria alone!
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Scientist:</nw>
|
||||
Young man, you're drunk.
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Carvel:</nw>
|
||||
Yes, I am, and in the morning you'll both still be cunts.
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Milner:</nw>
|
||||
Have you come here just to drink?
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Carvel:</nw>
|
||||
There's a blackout everywhere else.
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Milner:</nw>
|
||||
It's only held once every four years, this.
|
||||
The idea is to get people together who could never normally talk.
|
||||
Like politicians, world leaders... scientists.
|
||||
No one knows it exists.
|
||||
Is that what you are? A scientist, then?
|
||||
Must be a good one to get into here.
|
||||
Must be some kind of genius to get into here...
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Carvel:</nw>
|
||||
No offence. I'm sure you're great.
|
||||
But why don't you just fuck off?
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Milner:</nw>
|
||||
Why don't you make me?
|
||||
What's wrong with curing malaria?
|
||||
Or don't you want to make the world "a better place"?
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Carvel:</nw>
|
||||
Let me explain something to you.
|
||||
The sun throws a certain amount of energy onto this planet.
|
||||
We turn it into food, clothing, shelter, et cetera.
|
||||
It supports an amount of us, and it took 30,000 years for that amount to become one billion.
|
||||
Then we found a way to use ancient sunlight, sunlight trapped in oil and coal.
|
||||
We started to live off that.
|
||||
What happened? In just 130 years, our population doubled.
|
||||
The next billion took 30 years. The fourth billion has taken just 14.
|
||||
So, here's the question.
|
||||
<b>What do you think is going to happen when that oil and coal runs out in, say, 100 years?
|
||||
When there's 10 billion living on a planet that can support only one?</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Milner:</nw>
|
||||
I think we're gonna tear each other to shreds.
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Carvel:</nw>
|
||||
At last, someone with an ounce of fucking brain.
|
||||
Malaria? <nw><b>The only disease that needs curing is us.</b></nw>
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Milner:</nw>
|
||||
Go on, then.
|
||||
Let's throw ourselves off!
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Carvel:</nw>
|
||||
What are you doing?
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Milner:</nw>
|
||||
Well, if there's no point in being alive...
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Carvel:</nw>
|
||||
All right, Okay, I get it. Yeah, yeah, fine. I get what you...
|
||||
Look, look! That... that could tip! Please don't do that. Please?
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Milner:</nw>
|
||||
Have you ever been in a genocide?
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Carvel:</nw>
|
||||
What?
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Milner:</nw>
|
||||
I have.
|
||||
So, if you have some sort of answer... I'd like to hear it.
|
||||
|
||||
<nw>– Carvel:</nw>
|
||||
<b>I have an answer.
|
||||
No one wants to listen to me, they're all too fucking scared,</b>
|
||||
but if you come down off that table, I will tell you.
