I am at the mercy of a madwoman: I might have known it from the beginning. ZOO. It would be useless unless all the other shortlivers were killed at the same time. Besides, it is a measure which should be taken politically and constitutionally, not privately. However, I am prepared to discuss it with you. ZOO. What good have our counsels ever done you?
It couldn't have happened to a hundred thousand: you know that as well as I do. And what a ridiculous thing to call people Irish because they live in Ireland! you might as well call them Airish because they live in air. They must be just the same as other people. Why do you shortlivers persist in making up silly stories about the world and trying to act as if they were true?
ZOO. Well, you are hearing of it now. THE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN. Let me tell you that we shortlivers, as you call us, have lengthened our lives very considerably. ZOO. How? THE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN. By saving time. By enabling men to cross the ocean in an afternoon, and to see and speak to one another when they are thousands of miles apart.
He wants to. He is out of countenance, as we call it. THE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN. Well!!! But suppose he is depraved enough not to want to die, and to settle the difficulty by killing all the rest of you? ZOO. Oh, he is one of the thoroughly degenerate shortlivers whom we occasionally produce. He emigrates. THE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN. And what becomes of him then?
Our mathematicians express its measurements in algebraic equations. NAPOLEON. Do you mean that they could measure mine? THE ORACLE. Yes: by a figure infinitely near to zero. Even in us the force is negligible during our first century of life. In our second it develops quickly, and becomes dangerous to shortlivers who venture into its field.
