This is a list of all the questions and their associated study carrel identifiers. One can learn a lot of the "aboutness" of a text simply by reading the questions.

---|---|
59148 | Do you have a defense to present? |
59148 | Is the defendant pleading guilty? |
59148 | Is the defendant ready? |
59148 | What is the percentage compressibility of caesium under 45,000 atmospheres of pressure, and how do you account for it? |
59148 | What kind of a farce is this? 59148 Why should not the scientist use the past without being burdened by it? |
59148 | After all, what right had Holmes to get stuffy at a time like this? |
59148 | He turned challengingly back to Cyber IX, paused for dramatic effect, and asked:"What are the magnitudes of a dream?" |
59148 | The Justice did n''t seem to mind; but who would-- all safe and snug in a nice gold frame? |
59148 | What if you were sitting here, and I was up there in a gold frame? |
59148 | What was old Hammurabi''s dream? |
59148 | What would Justice Holmes think?_[ Transcriber''s Note: This etext was produced from Worlds of If Science Fiction, March 1955. |
59148 | Why should not the lawyer and the judge use the hard- won laws of justice without being the slave of dusty law books?" |
59242 | Are you nuts? |
59242 | Can you name anyone around here that did? |
59242 | Did Mr. Thompson kill Ballard? |
59242 | Do n''t Edith--"Who did kill him? |
59242 | Do n''t you know enough not to touch anything in here? |
59242 | How the hell could a man bash in his own brains that way? |
59242 | What are you doing? |
59242 | What''s that? |
59242 | You did n''t care much for Ballard, did you Bill? |
59242 | You do n''t really think anyone could get past those security guards, do you? |
59242 | You''re Green, are n''t you? |
59242 | Ballard?" |
59242 | Ballard?" |
59242 | Ca n''t you see what you''re doing to her? |
59242 | Green?" |
59242 | How do you suppose this got in here anyway?" |
59242 | I nodded and he continued,"How did you know it was murder?" |
59242 | What''s the idea of starting that machine?" |
59242 | _ I was here._"Is it true that you do not lose your perceptive qualities when we turn you off?" |
59242 | _ No._"Did Mr. MacKinney kill Ballard?" |
59242 | _ Yes, she typed back._"Did you witness the murder?" |
51482 | And how do you know you''ll always be given the straight dope? |
51482 | And that makes you a weapon? |
51482 | And you''ll answer any question at all? |
51482 | But are you actually an Oracle? |
51482 | But do n''t you see that the Oracle will destroy Earth? |
51482 | But what''s in it for us? 51482 Ca n''t you see what a deadly danger that machine is to us all? |
51482 | Can we go to see him now? |
51482 | Does he answer you in riddles, like most Oracles? |
51482 | How about giving us some Korite God- food? |
51482 | How long ago was that? |
51482 | Is it possible to arrange it so that you would answer only one man''s questions-- mine, for example? |
51482 | Is n''t that why you want to try one more system? |
51482 | It was the third place we stopped that they were such good cooks, was n''t it? |
51482 | May we meet your-- Oracle? |
51482 | Then you are a machine? |
51482 | Then you have another function? |
51482 | To give us another chance to get some answers? 51482 Weapons?" |
51482 | What do you suppose they want us to do? |
51482 | What do you suppose they want us to do? |
51482 | What if they''ve got starman- phobia? 51482 Yes,"Bates persisted,"but how do you_ know_?" |
51482 | You are the Oracle? |
51482 | You mean you''ll stop telling the truth at that time? |
51482 | And what if we find an inhabited planet? |
51482 | And why do they all have such strong feelings-- one way or the exact opposite-- about people from the stars?" |
51482 | But what if they love us? |
51482 | Ca n''t you see that''s what happened to those other planets we visited? |
51482 | Ca n''t you see what is happening to this planet we''re on now?" |
51482 | Can you imagine what will happen to these people on this world if they lose their Oracle? |
51482 | I suppose that applies when you are acting as an Oracle, instead of as a weapon?" |
51482 | May we congratulate you, by the way, on the efficiency of your translators?" |
51482 | Now why do n''t you go in and find out for yourselves? |
51482 | So why are all their civilizations so backward? |
51482 | Where''s the coffee?" |
51482 | Why do n''t you sit down and be comfortable? |
51482 | Why do n''t you take off those clumsy suits and come along?" |
51482 | Why risk bad luck?" |
51482 | You''d think there''d be some similarity among the tongues on different planets, would n''t you? |
50936 | And if you do n''t mind telling us, just what is this answer? |
50936 | Are you sure, Buster, that you are n''t_ bluffing_? |
50936 | Because of what I said? 50936 But it''s a little late, is n''t it? |
50936 | But now, how about elaborating on your answer? 50936 Could anybody in the littler universe use the same system?" |
50936 | Have you been celebrating too much? 50936 How in blazes can you be sure of your answer without knowing more about the invaders? |
50936 | If they match point for point, how can there be any difference in size? |
50936 | Is that all? |
50936 | Was today a rough day with Buster, dear? |
50936 | Well, then, dear, why do n''t you tell me all about it? 50936 What''s what?" |
50936 | What''s wrong with it? 50936 Where are my shoes?" |
50936 | Why should we believe that this mountebank is capable of a solution? |
50936 | Yes,answered the President,"but how would that''save nine''? |
50936 | Your whole department has n''t been able to find an answer? |
50936 | ***** She waited expectantly for a few moments and then plaintively asked,"What_ is_ it, dear?" |
50936 | After all, the invaders are already invading us, are n''t they?" |
50936 | And then, two heads are always better than one, are n''t they? |
50936 | Clear now?" |
50936 | Do n''t you realize that you are risking the lives of all humans and even of your own existence in carrying on this ridiculous game of playing Oracle? |
50936 | Have you figured out what the Oracle meant?" |
50936 | How can that help us?" |
50936 | How did you come to think of that proverb?" |
50936 | How do you feel about it, gentlemen?" |
50936 | If we are going to sit around playing foolish games with words, why do n''t we do it in a big way? |
50936 | In the meantime, would n''t it be a good idea for you to get busy on the ideas I have already given you?" |
50936 | Is all that clear?" |
50936 | Is dinner ready?" |
50936 | Just what did the Oracle say?" |
50936 | Or do you plan to let us stew a while, then decipher your own riddle for us, if we ca n''t do it, in time to save us?" |
50936 | Uh.... Are you all right, dear?" |
50936 | Was the Oracle being obstinate again?" |
50936 | We can send them out all right, but how can we ever get them back into our solar system? |
50936 | What are you going to do?" |
50936 | What could be clearer than that?" |
50936 | What does''A Stitch in Time''mean, as applied to the question I asked you?" |
50936 | What if we physically remove our planets, by stitching them away from the Sun? |
50936 | What kind of fools does this Bristol take us for? |
50936 | What was the trouble today, dear? |
50936 | What''s the matter with you?" |
50936 | Why are you so hard to handle?" |
50936 | Why did n''t you give me an''Insufficient Evidence''answer or, at least, a''Highly Conditional''answer?" |
50936 | Why did n''t you just say so?" |
50936 | Why do n''t we just find the invaders and wipe them out before they are able to do any real harm to us? |
50936 | Why do n''t you take a vacation? |
50936 | You see?" |
60443 | All right,said General Sanders,"We''ll let that go for the moment-- but what made you ask about the X-15 in the first place?" |
60443 | And if the long- range missiles fired from Florida can be taken over in flight, what''s to prevent their being guided to a submarine at sea? |
60443 | And what about your own X-15 project, General? |
60443 | And what makes you think you can get them from me? |
60443 | Any other ideas like that? |
60443 | Anything else? |
60443 | Do you... does this Eddie know how to do it? |
60443 | Dr. Smith,he exploded,"just who or what in the hell is or was Eddie?" |
60443 | Eddie? |
60443 | Have you learned how to design a finned missile which can be launched across the bomber''s airstream without being thrown off course? |
60443 | How the hell do I get into these things? |
60443 | Huh? |
60443 | I suppose I made the same error that is so often made in declassifying information...."How''s that? |
60443 | Is anything wrong, Sir? |
60443 | More? 60443 Now, Dr. Smith,"Cowles began,"what is your view as to the nature of the explosion in your trailer and the reason for it?" |
60443 | Now, Dr. Smith,said Cowles,"let''s get back to the explosion.... Why do you feel someone wanted to destroy you and Eddie?" |
60443 | O.K., what do I do now? |
60443 | Of course...."Did Eddie come up with the idea for that Atlas stabilizing cylinder? |
60443 | Smith,he stalled,"why do n''t you come in and talk things over?" |
60443 | So? |
60443 | Was Eddie in the trailer with you? |
60443 | We got the contract, of course-- it was a cinch!--and I just wrote it off as a lucky break.... You can see how I''d feel, ca n''t you? |
60443 | What about it? |
60443 | What do you make of this, Frank? |
60443 | What kind of information? |
60443 | What the devil does that mean? |
60443 | What was that? |
60443 | What''s that, Sir? |
60443 | What''s this got to do with trying to knock you off? |
60443 | What... what is an educatable computer? |
60443 | What? |
60443 | Who knows it was lost? |
60443 | Why not? |
60443 | You''re working on a missile defense system for bombers, are n''t you? |
60443 | A brittle edge came into the agent''s courteous tone:"Did you report this to security?" |
60443 | Browne?" |
60443 | Browne?" |
60443 | Busch reddened, and could not resist asking:"Including those short- wave broadcasts from Moscow Radio?" |
60443 | But his voice was deceptively calm:"Dr. Smith, do I gather that someone else was in the trailer with you at the time of the explosion?" |
60443 | General Sanders recovered first, and demanded:"What the devil was it made for then?" |
60443 | Half seriously, half sarcastically, he asked:"What does Eddie think we should do about those missiles?" |
60443 | He whispered:"Eddie... what happened... to Eddie?" |
60443 | It was a very elementary prototype-- the actual X-15 wo n''t be ready for another three years....""Any idea what happened to it?" |
60443 | Smith?" |
60443 | Smith?" |
60443 | Two people were killed....""Smith, what kind of pipedream are you peddling now?" |
60443 | We''ve been talking and you''ve been thinking-- what?" |
51362 | And so did all the others there with you, at school and in this stockpiling outfit? |
51362 | Ca n''t anything be done about it? |
51362 | Could n''t you have done something to the circuitry? |
51362 | Did it reply, sir? |
51362 | Did that come out of the pamphlets they gave you? |
51362 | Hard to believe? |
51362 | How long have you been out of school? |
51362 | If you''d stayed with them five years, do you think you''d be able to get a job with someone else? |
51362 | Lex? |
51362 | Sir? |
51362 | Sure, but do you know where it came from? 51362 Then all you do is read the incoming mail and maintain the machinery?" |
51362 | Then what am I after? |
51362 | This kicker button,Peter said tentatively,"it''s like the pleasure center in an animal''s brain, is n''t it?" |
51362 | Well, am I? |
51362 | What can you do? |
51362 | What happened to your original company? |
51362 | What''s the matter, sir? |
51362 | What? |
51362 | Where did the machine get the voice? |
51362 | Who--? |
51362 | Why''d you leave? |
51362 | ''LEX-- WHAT THE HELL?'' |
51362 | Am I right?" |
51362 | Anything else?" |
51362 | Are you interested in the basics of how we live?" |
51362 | But you knew that from the Association--""No practical experience to speak of?" |
51362 | But you''re a lot weaker in calculus than when you left school, and in a dozen other subjects too, are n''t you?" |
51362 | Cream, sugar, both or black?" |
51362 | Do you have any knowledge of medicine?" |
51362 | How much did they pay you?" |
51362 | I have, have n''t I?" |
51362 | I objected, of course, but how can you object on a point like that to a machine? |
51362 | Is n''t everyone?" |
51362 | Lexington?" |
51362 | Lexington?" |
51362 | Manners?" |
51362 | Manners?" |
51362 | Manners?" |
51362 | Nothing in the world could be happier and mere serene than a man who loves his work-- but what happens when it loves him back? |
51362 | Or are you one of these birds that had the shot paid for him?" |
51362 | Right?" |
51362 | Then how were the working areas lit? |
51362 | Then the soft, evenly modulated voice he had heard before asked,"How do you like your coffee? |
51362 | What did you notice about this plant?" |
51362 | What makes you think you''re qualified for the job I''m offering?" |
51362 | What''s the solution?" |
51362 | Why? |
51362 | You did, did n''t you?" |
51362 | You see that now?" |
60829 | Come on down here, will you? |
60829 | Could I ask you something? |
60829 | Could you reverse the wiring in the computer? |
60829 | Do n''t you think I know I''ve gone too far? 60829 Do you know what, Starbuck?" |
60829 | Do you smoke, Ben? |
60829 | Have you had this machine long? |
60829 | Have you read any good books lately? |
60829 | How? |
60829 | If he thinks that''s run of the mill, Captain, I wonder what he will have to find to make him think it''s unusual? |
60829 | Is that what you had in mind, Ben? |
60829 | Is there a keyboard or something? |
60829 | Magnificent, is n''t it, Ben? 60829 Me? |
60829 | Mind if I say''hello''to the rest of the men? |
60829 | Noticed the dragon, did you? |
60829 | One of these days_ what_? |
60829 | Quick,Birdsel said,"do you have your IDQ file on you?" |
60829 | Schizoid? |
60829 | That was why the captain was acting so nutty? 60829 The hyperspace jump? |
60829 | Tums? |
60829 | Was there anything else you wanted to know? |
60829 | Well, what would you like to see first? 60829 What about them?" |
60829 | What do you want to know? |
60829 | What is it? |
60829 | What kind of an ethnologist am I? |
60829 | What''s it supposed to do? |
60829 | What, Kettleman? |
60829 | Why do n''t you stow your bag here, buddy? 60829 Would it?" |
60829 | Yes? 60829 You are n''t going to suggest that the brain reconsider or override its decision?" |
60829 | You know what the trouble with the human race is, Ben? 60829 You mean the captain?" |
60829 | You sent for me, sir? |
60829 | You want to talk about something? |
60829 | You want_ me_ down there? |
60829 | You''re not on their side? 60829 You''ve got one of those things?" |
60829 | _ Pssst._"Pssst? |
60829 | And guess who will play Jack Ketch personally?" |
60829 | And where did he find them? |
60829 | Got some muscles there, have n''t you? |
60829 | HOW''S THE WEATHER? |
60829 | Had Birdsel disposed of him as he had threatened?) |
60829 | How do you report to a spaceship? |
60829 | I suppose we''ll take a closer look, Captain?" |
60829 | Is that it? |
60829 | Mind if I lean on your shoulder a bit like this?" |
60829 | New man, eh? |
60829 | New man, eh?" |
60829 | Or would they? |
60829 | Ought to do it more often, eh, Ben?" |
60829 | Say,"Hello, spaceship?" |
60829 | Speak to the captain? |
60829 | That would be all right with the brain, would n''t it?" |
60829 | The brain?" |
60829 | The first mate? |
60829 | WHAT DID YOU DO WHILE YOU WERE NOT HERE? |
60829 | WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT TATTOOING? |
60829 | WHO IS THE NEW ONE? |
60829 | Was that all?" |
60829 | What are they going to do? |
60829 | What are they waiting for? |
60829 | What is it, Ben?" |
60829 | What''s wrong with them? |
60829 | Will you do that?" |
60829 | You can guide me, ca n''t you, sir? |
60829 | You do play that game like the rest?" |
60829 | You would n''t be a new man too, Percy?" |
50998 | Any other information? |
50998 | Anything else you''d like to know? |
50998 | As a salesman? |
50998 | At the agency? |
50998 | Business? 50998 But would n''t I be a lot safer if I just concentrated on getting back to the hotel?" |
50998 | Departed? |
50998 | Did you notice,he asked,"that there was no apparent change in clothing and makeup, yet she seemed younger, more attractive?" |
50998 | Did you? |
50998 | Do you know how many stars there are in the Galaxy? |
50998 | Got what? |
50998 | Have you been sleeping? 50998 Hot, is n''t it?" |
50998 | How can anyone use another''s identification? 50998 How long would it take to get there using local transportation, star- hopping?" |
50998 | I did? 50998 I mean, is it safe for a stranger to walk through the city?" |
50998 | I thought you''d ask which was the camouflage-- the person you see here, or the one at the Bureau? |
50998 | Identification tab? 50998 Interpret body data, do you?" |
50998 | Investigate it remotely? |
50998 | Is she dead? |
50998 | Is this a part of the Earth life process? |
50998 | Is this necessary? |
50998 | Long claws? 50998 Maybe,"replied Dimanche,"you think the crowd around us is composed solely of patrons?" |
50998 | Now what? |
50998 | Now, then, what''s your problem? |
50998 | Planetary drive? |
50998 | Ridiculous, is n''t it? 50998 Special knowledge of a thousand races? |
50998 | Stimi? 50998 Stuck?" |
50998 | Then why are we wasting our time? |
50998 | Weapons? |
50998 | Well, is n''t it an opportunity of a sort? 50998 What I want to know is,"said Dimanche,"why such precautions as electronic guards? |
50998 | What about this Murra Foray? |
50998 | What above my right knee? |
50998 | What did you do? |
50998 | What did you project? |
50998 | What do men call it? |
50998 | What do you call this game? |
50998 | What does that mean? |
50998 | What happened? |
50998 | What have you got? |
50998 | What is it? |
50998 | What''s a Huntner? |
50998 | What''s a gravity ghost? |
50998 | What''s the highest possible hand? |
50998 | When are you going on Drive? |
50998 | When will the next ship arrive? |
50998 | Where are you now? |
50998 | Where is he? |
50998 | Where shall I send the strips? |
50998 | Where? |
50998 | Who are you? |
50998 | Why all the redecoration? 50998 Why did he choose me?" |
50998 | You stuck here, too? |
50998 | You stuck here, too? |
50998 | You''re determined to go on? |
50998 | _ Crookedness?_"On your part, that is. 50998 _ We_ forge it?" |
50998 | ***** For that matter, what was the purpose of Travelers Aid Bureau? |
50998 | But what good does that do?" |
50998 | But what''s a Huntner?" |
50998 | Can he change that to anything else?" |
50998 | Cassal was almost positive she muttered a polite"Arf?" |
50998 | For the average man, anyone who did n''t have his own inter- stellar ship, was the comparison too apt? |
50998 | For what reason? |
50998 | He could imagine? |
50998 | He was self- deluded or did he have access to information that Cassal did n''t? |
50998 | How could he find some way of supplying additional power? |
50998 | How many Godolphians do you see?" |
50998 | I built a wonderful instrument, did n''t I?" |
50998 | In the darkness, how far was five feet? |
50998 | Is n''t that an odd combination?" |
50998 | Is n''t there any clue?" |
50998 | Is there anything wrong with that?" |
50998 | Long enough to reach from here to Kettikat?" |
50998 | Of course he_ could_ walk back to the hotel, but was that such a good idea? |
50998 | Or could you? |
50998 | Or was she? |
50998 | Outsiders? |
50998 | Regrettable, but what could he do about it? |
50998 | Secrets? |
50998 | Self- defense, of course, but would the police believe it? |
50998 | Sleeping? |
50998 | Suppose he were detained long enough to miss the ship bound for Tunney 21? |
50998 | That''s good enough for you, is n''t it?" |
50998 | The question was-- which travelers? |
50998 | Wanted to? |
50998 | Was it possible she had noticed his private conversation? |
50998 | Was she baiting him? |
50998 | Was this man, whoever and whatever he might be, connected with that delay? |
50998 | Were those who lived at the edge of the Galaxy, beyond the first ring, called Rimmers? |
50998 | What did he want? |
50998 | What does Travelers Aid have that''s so secret?" |
50998 | What does it have to do with anything?" |
50998 | What does that mean?" |
50998 | What is this planetary drive doing here?" |
50998 | What_ did_ the thug want? |
50998 | Why all this violence, though? |
50998 | Why did n''t you tell me?" |
50998 | Why did she want Dimanche? |
50998 | Why did you change so many signs? |
50998 | Why had the man attacked? |
50998 | Will you go with me?" |
50998 | Will you wait till I change?" |
50998 | _ She can hear me!_""Hear you?" |
32498 | And could n''t you ward it off? |
32498 | And did the President react positively to this project? |
32498 | And how did you avoid the Shakespearean end? |
32498 | And now you know everything, Oona,he ended,"do you think I''m mad?" |
32498 | Are n''t there even machine tenders or supervisors? 32498 Are souls really immortal? |
32498 | Are you hurt? |
32498 | Are you okay? 32498 But since I''m briefed to go there, where is it?" |
32498 | But why? |
32498 | Crazy? 32498 Did gods make man or did man make the gods? |
32498 | Did you say_ billion_ or did you say_ million_ professor? |
32498 | Do you get that? 32498 Do you really call that simple?" |
32498 | Do you want me to go? |
32498 | Failed? |
32498 | Fine; but why a car? 32498 Had enough?" |
32498 | Have I succeeded in making myself absolutely clear? |
32498 | Hell-- is it a repair shop for damaged souls? 32498 How about these records? |
32498 | How do prefabricated souls get to either heaven or hell? 32498 How do we know that he has n''t? |
32498 | How many angels_ can_ stand on the point of a needle? |
32498 | I wonder whether one could buy one and how much he would be? |
32498 | Idealist, eh? 32498 In what sense? |
32498 | Is that Cephalon? |
32498 | Is that the pulse of The Brain? |
32498 | Is this Dr. Lee? 32498 It actually exists? |
32498 | It beats a roller coaster, does n''t it? |
32498 | It''s you Aussie, is it? 32498 Magog, will you please break this in two for me?" |
32498 | Man,Lee shouted, gripping the front seat,"are you crazy?" |
32498 | Me? |
32498 | Mind if I close the windows, sir? |
32498 | Oh-- it''s Dr. Lee from Canberra University, is n''t it? 32498 Okay; then what becomes of the new capacity which is being created by the adding of new workshops and the increased efficiency of the old ones? |
32498 | Pretty is n''t it? 32498 Queer, is n''t it? |
32498 | Ready to go? |
32498 | Remember the case history? 32498 Say, what is the meaning of all this?" |
32498 | Shot it? |
32498 | Something like psychoanalysis? 32498 That so; why do they?" |
32498 | The Count of Monte Cristo,it was called; ever heard about it? |
32498 | The Labyrinth? |
32498 | Then why are you trying that selfsame escapist solution now? 32498 Then why bother with me at all?" |
32498 | Think so, sir? 32498 Through the fire?" |
32498 | Was there anything the matter with Lee? |
32498 | What are the mechanics of a god? 32498 What are you doing now, padre?" |
32498 | What beam? 32498 What beam?" |
32498 | What could I do? 32498 What did you do?" |
32498 | What do they do to me? |
32498 | What do you feed him, Dr. Scriven; a glass of electric juice for breakfast? 32498 What do you mean?" |
32498 | What do you think this is, doctor, a mirage? |
32498 | What do you think, Lee? |
32498 | What exactly are you driving at? |
32498 | What is it? |
32498 | What is the Braintrust? 32498 What more do we need?" |
32498 | What''s the idea,he asked,"I thought you said we would be examined at this spot?" |
32498 | When is it going to happen-- this invasion thing? |
32498 | Where are you? |
32498 | Where do they come from? |
32498 | Who are they? |
32498 | Why answer? |
32498 | Why are you fumbling with that old pulsemeter all the time? |
32498 | Why say anything? 32498 Will you please read what''s written on your slip?" |
32498 | With this group? 32498 With you? |
32498 | Yes? |
32498 | Yes? |
32498 | You have met Dr. Lee, have n''t you, Oona; but do you know_ whom_ you have met? 32498 You have n''t?" |
32498 | You really do n''t know about him? |
32498 | You''re an American, Dr. Lee, are n''t you? 32498 _ When?_ Why, did n''t I tell you the worst of it? |
32498 | _ When?_ Why, did n''t I tell you the worst of it? 32498 ''Cut out what?'' 32498 ''Do you propose to_ murder_ me?'' 32498 ''Lee, Semper Fidelis, the fool; what does he want?'' 32498 5 p.m. at the earliest, is that the best you can do? 32498 All imagination, of course, but then: everything we call a reality in this man- made world has its origin in man''s imagination, has n''t it? 32498 And now that it was all over with and the reaction had begun to set in Scriven asked:Do you really think we put the idea over to them?" |
32498 | And then the swirling, howling darkness closing in again...."Interesting eh?" |
32498 | And what does that mean?" |
32498 | And why the blackout?" |
32498 | And would the international crisis lead to war? |
32498 | Because he personally loathed seeing Man- domineering machines.... What did all this amount to in the eyes of the absolute? |
32498 | Before he could say a word there was Scriven on the wire:"Lee? |
32498 | But have n''t you anything to add; some personal angle something with a human interest in it? |
32498 | But its location? |
32498 | But then last night; what did I find? |
32498 | But then; for heaven''s sake, what am_ I_ going to do about this? |
32498 | But what about the girl? |
32498 | But what could they do? |
32498 | But what would happen if this frustrated genius ever were driven to_ rebel_ against its masters? |
32498 | But why was all this? |
32498 | But, Lee, much as it is against my interest, I ought to warn you: Do you realize the utter impossibility of this thing? |
32498 | Completely overwhelmed and overawed by the grandeur of it all, Lee barely managed to stammer,"What-- what is this place; what is it called?" |
32498 | Could he learn to answer the phone?" |
32498 | Could it be possible that The Brain has gone_ panicky_ over the killing of the Extension Bill? |
32498 | Could it be possible that under the strain, the warped, frustrated personality of this titanic child prodigy has suffered a reduction, a split? |
32498 | Did he suffer from insomnia? |
32498 | Did n''t Lee think there was a tidal wave of anti- technology feeling arising since unemployment had again set in? |
32498 | Did n''t you even guess? |
32498 | Did nobody ever tell you? |
32498 | Do n''t you think that it was good riddance when she married old man Carson''s son? |
32498 | Do you feel I''m right?" |
32498 | Do you feel anything touching you?" |
32498 | Do you realize that it''s fate worse than death? |
32498 | Do you really think you could survive it, Lee?" |
32498 | Do you think you could spare me a minute? |
32498 | Do you think your leaving made one iota of a difference or altered a solution as ordained by fate?" |
32498 | Do you understand that there is nothing you can do to escape that fate except by flight? |
32498 | Does Scriven realize that? |
32498 | Does that mean, could I hope perhaps that you would-- be my wife-- later, when The Brain problem is all done and over with?" |
32498 | Elementary, is n''t it?" |
32498 | Evaporate to where? |
32498 | For what have I got in the way of knowledge that The Brain has n''t got? |
32498 | Foreign agents, a native underground? |
32498 | Had he lost weight recently? |
32498 | Had n''t you analyzed its character, had n''t you anticipated that it would develop into a warped personality? |
32498 | Have you forgotten you had an appointment with us? |
32498 | Have you got it mechanized by now? |
32498 | He was barely able to stammer:"You''re dead? |
32498 | How come you forgot? |
32498 | How d''you like that?" |
32498 | How do we know?" |
32498 | How do you feel, brave girl?" |
32498 | How does it work with that species you have discovered,''Ant- termes Pacificus''? |
32498 | How exactly did you do it; I mean the crossbreeding?" |
32498 | How was your trip? |
32498 | I feel the need of one, do n''t you? |
32498 | I mean it works? |
32498 | I''m tired out, that''s all; what are you fussing about?" |
32498 | I''ve been wondering about that myself of late: where does the new capacity go? |
32498 | If anybody ever reads this, he might well shake his head to ask:"The Fool that you are, why were you so naive? |
32498 | If nobody had noticed the arrangements for this new experiment so far; why should anybody be forewarned? |
32498 | In mid- air and with nobody from the ground examining it?" |
32498 | In plain English: that The Brain is_ mad_? |
32498 | In that case; why do n''t we copy divine methods in the production of durable goods on earth? |
32498 | Is he AC or DC or both?" |
32498 | Is n''t it true that all of this is just a beginning and that in time most common products will be manufactured fully automatically? |
32498 | Is n''t it true that modern technology goes in the direction of_ automatization_? |
32498 | Is n''t there_ anybody_?" |
32498 | Is n''t this the fulfillment of all your dreams; what are you waiting for?" |
32498 | Is that not irony supreme? |
32498 | Is there a corresponding expansion of the apperception centers?" |
32498 | Is there any thing to prevent the third World War?" |
32498 | Is your business_ that_ important? |
32498 | It is not limited to the analysis of mathematical problems but capable of cerebrations after the manner of the human brain?" |
32498 | It was our_ duty_ to evacuate, was n''t it? |
32498 | It''s quite a possibility; well, his image production is ebbing now; I do n''t expect anything new of significance, what do you think?" |
32498 | It''s the biggest mass- migration I''ve ever seen, but will it be big enough to do the trick? |
32498 | Know where the gas masks are and asbestos suits? |
32498 | Lee raised a pair of heavy and untidy brows:"Cargo examination? |
32498 | Lee, answer please:"How many gods are there? |
32498 | Lee:''For heaven''s sake what do you plan to do?'' |
32498 | Lee:''So you''re going to make yourself dictator of this country?'' |
32498 | Lee?" |
32498 | Lee?" |
32498 | Lee?" |
32498 | Lee?" |
32498 | Lee?" |
32498 | Lee?" |
32498 | Let''s see, where are you? |
32498 | Man''s will toward the metaphysical, his reaching out toward the Deity, what is it but another way of transforming static energy into dynamic form? |
32498 | Mass murder, chaos, reign of terror.... Now that my friend has come to this monstrous end I demand to know when are you going to stop The Brain?" |
32498 | Mellish''s voice-- or was it Bondy''s?--seemed to come through a fog and over a vast distance as it asked:"What seems to be the matter, Lee? |
32498 | No doubt you see the third World War approaching inexorably just as I do; civilization forging ahead, for what? |
32498 | Now that I''m going to meet Dr. Scriven, who is he? |
32498 | Now that it was all over, complete exhaustion left him weak, saddened and vaguely wondering: What had he done? |
32498 | One of them must be"The Cranium", but the question remains: which? |
32498 | One reached the point of diminishing returns, did n''t one? |
32498 | Perhaps you two would like to come over for cocktails in my ship? |
32498 | Please, answer elementary question: how many kilowatts has God?" |
32498 | Pointing to the gadget which looked somewhat like a big radio console Lee asked:"This pulsemeter, Gus, what does it do? |
32498 | Problem of logistics, how solved? |
32498 | Promise me as a friend that you''ll be careful, understand? |
32498 | Promise, please, promise that you wo n''t do anything rash?" |
32498 | Remember the Nuremberg trials of the Nazi war criminals? |
32498 | Right?" |
32498 | Right?" |
32498 | Right?" |
32498 | Romantic is n''t it?" |
32498 | Should I tell Scriven or anybody else about this thing?" |
32498 | Simple, is n''t it?" |
32498 | So you''re mixed up with that outfit; well-- how about a drink?" |
32498 | Suspiciously he looked at the yellow paper; what more torture were these fellows going to inflict? |
32498 | Tell me then, if Man is not the end; if the machines are going to take over; what will it lead to? |
32498 | Tell me then, what shall I do? |
32498 | That burning city was Manilla was n''t it, when MacArthur returned? |
32498 | The Brain:''Oh, will they? |
32498 | The Deity? |
32498 | The irrationality of it all infuriated Lee: he fairly shouted at the machine:"What is this? |
32498 | The old man''s loose- skinned face, tanned like saddle leather, did n''t move an inch at the sight of the son:"You again, Semper? |
32498 | The results? |
32498 | Then what could I do; what could anybody do in my place? |
32498 | There is no war going on-- or is there? |
32498 | There was a vortex in my mind and it whirled around and around with just four words:"_ What has Man wrought? |
32498 | There was one thing he could n''t understand: those tactile rays, why did n''t they kill him when they had his heart within their grip? |
32498 | Thermodynamics? |
32498 | They are holding_ My_ fate in that atrophied ganglion of theirs which could n''t cerebrate the functions of any single of My cells?'' |
32498 | This being so; what does The Brain expect? |
32498 | This is Vivian Leahy speaking; do n''t you remember me?" |
32498 | Those horrible catastrophes all over the country; what was behind all this? |
32498 | Those undermining and devouring armies; what could have happened to them? |
32498 | Try to tell the people the truth? |
32498 | Under the provoking red of her hair the face looked pale and pinched:"Where are the doctors?" |
32498 | Was Lee still able to concentrate upon his scientific work these harrowing days? |
32498 | Was he a friend, or more than a friend to her? |
32498 | Was he dead or alive? |
32498 | Was he suffering hallucinations? |
32498 | Was it possible that he alone was right and all those others were wrong about Oona? |
32498 | Was she really that"fully integrated", that"non- problematical"personality she appeared to be? |
32498 | We''ve got the machines under firm control; all we have to do is throw a switch, cut off your power and then...."_ Brain_:"And then what? |
32498 | What about Man''s undying will to rise above himself, Man''s reaching out forever toward some Deity?" |
32498 | What am I going to do? |
32498 | What am I supposed to do here?" |
32498 | What are you going to do about that?" |
32498 | What brought you here?" |
32498 | What brought you here?" |
32498 | What can I possibly contribute to an intelligence 25,000 times greater than human intelligence? |
32498 | What did they want?'' |
32498 | What do you propose to do?" |
32498 | What does it do? |
32498 | What does that prove? |
32498 | What happened if one plugged some apparatus of the pineal gland into the circuit of the pineal gland? |
32498 | What has Man wrought?_"I must have said them aloud, for Gus, always a stickler for exactitude corrected me. |
32498 | What is it?" |
32498 | What is the ultimate goal of the religion which you yourself profess? |
32498 | What is this Cephalon, anyway? |
32498 | What makes them take such absurd precautions?" |
32498 | What proof have I to offer? |
32498 | What purpose does it serve? |
32498 | What then must I conclude from this irrational behavior? |
32498 | What was there left to say? |
32498 | What were those?'' |
32498 | What worried him was a very different problem: Was Oona really all those others thought she was? |
32498 | What, for instance, caused these blind creatures to attack a sealed tin can of syrup in preference to its neighbor with tomatoes or some other stuff? |
32498 | Where are you, Gus?" |
32498 | Where are your legs to compare with the automobile? |
32498 | Where are your senses as compared to radar, the telescope, the microscope, the radio receiver, the camera, the x- ray machine? |
32498 | Where are your wings to compare with the rocket plane? |
32498 | Where is there anything you could do which the machines could not do and do_ better_?" |
32498 | Where is your strength to compare with even a fractional horsepower motor? |
32498 | Where''s your butterfly net?" |
32498 | Who are you?" |
32498 | Who then has created man?" |
32498 | Who was he to take sides? |
32498 | Whose eyes? |
32498 | Why am I here? |
32498 | Why are we circling for so long? |
32498 | Why are you doing that? |
32498 | Why did it shock you so much when The Brain turned toward you the night side of its personality? |
32498 | Why did they build this city in the middle of the desert? |
32498 | Why did they have to go through all of this professional subtlety?" |
32498 | Why do n''t you take her into your arms now? |
32498 | Why else do you think I''ve buttonholed you two out of the air? |
32498 | Why had he done it? |
32498 | Why? |
32498 | Why?" |
32498 | Will you do that, Father?" |
32498 | Will you do that?" |
32498 | With her hand on the receiver Oona turned to Lee:"How about it, Semper?" |
32498 | With his stomach throttling his throat, Lee asked,"How deep are we going underground?" |
32498 | Would he be followed? |
32498 | Would it be believed? |
32498 | Would it then not be entirely logical to conclude that The Brain absorbs the new capacity_ for its own use_? |
32498 | Would n''t the"Oath of the Brain"still be binding? |
32498 | Would that suit you, Lee?" |
32498 | Would there be anybody else in this vast apperception area who worked for the prevention of war? |
32498 | Would you feel terrible if you did? |
32498 | You are n''t ill, Dr. Lee, are you? |
32498 | You can not make it? |
32498 | You kept the taxi waiting? |
32498 | You understand of course that we had you investigated before calling you here; do you mind very much?" |
32498 | You were in that second Philippine campaign too were n''t you, Lee? |
32498 | You would n''t expect us to place a thing of such vital strategic importance in a skyscraper on a wide open plain as a landmark for every enemy?" |
32498 | You''ll give me time for that; that''s what you had in mind in the first place, was n''t it?" |
32498 | You''re in the midst of a vital experiment? |
32498 | You''re sweating, your body shakes; what do you feel?" |
32498 | You, Lee, man of little knowledge-- low- level intelligence: Why did you kill The Brain?" |
32498 | _ Brain_:"How about me, The Brain?" |
32498 | _ Lee_:"How about thought, the most important of all human qualities?" |
32498 | _ Lee_:"Supposing the machines_ were_ to take over from Man; what would become of our species?" |
32498 | _ Lee_:"What do you mean by that? |
32498 | _ Tonight!_""_ Tonight?_""Sure,"Scriven cast a malicious glance up to the antique ship''s chronometer which hung over the bar. |
32498 | my own?" |
32498 | or"How do I look tonight?" |
32498 | or:"What should I do about that for my own benefit?" |
18602 | A little intellectual monster out of her? |
18602 | A young genius, Miss Tilden? |
18602 | Again? 18602 Ah, Jimmy,"said Paul in a soothing voice,"why did you run off? |
18602 | All of it? |
18602 | And I am a ruthless man with political ambition? |
18602 | And anything he said before does n''t count any more? |
18602 | And has it? |
18602 | And he has not made it since, to the best of your knowledge? |
18602 | And how do we use it? |
18602 | And how do you intend to make that come to pass? |
18602 | And how do you propose to prevent this war? |
18602 | And if I point out that any such process is of extreme interest to the State and to the Union itself, and as such must be disclosed? |
18602 | And if I say No? |
18602 | And if he ai n''t? |
18602 | And just why may I not? |
18602 | And now? |
18602 | And subsequently you replaced them with stuff you believed more suitable for a child of five, is that it? |
18602 | And the nature of his toys and furnishings? |
18602 | And then I''ll know it cold? |
18602 | And then we''ll pretend to send you and Martha to boarding school? |
18602 | And then, again? |
18602 | And then? |
18602 | And what good will that do? |
18602 | And what should I have done? |
18602 | And what was your response to his objection? |
18602 | And why not? |
18602 | And you are paying a rental on certain rooms of this house? |
18602 | And you hope to make Martha another misfit? |
18602 | And you wrote a short story that sold to_ Boy''s Magazine_? |
18602 | And you''ve testified that when you moved into the Holden home, you found things as the Holdens had provided them for their child? |
18602 | And your purpose in opening this hearing was to convince this Court that James Holden should be returned by legal procedure to such surroundings? |
18602 | And--? |
18602 | And--? |
18602 | Any identification? |
18602 | Any objection? |
18602 | Anybody care to hazard some loose change on my ability? |
18602 | Anyone-- I mean how many--? |
18602 | Are we going to sit here all night? |
18602 | Are we such a bunch of clowns? |
18602 | Are you sure? |
18602 | Because my husband has been gone for five years? |
18602 | Bindlestiff, huh? |
18602 | Blindness? |
18602 | Bridge,he said thoughtfully,"consists of creating a logical process of play out of a random distribution of values, does n''t it?" |
18602 | But can you afford it? |
18602 | But could n''t you convince them--? |
18602 | But have you ever attended school? |
18602 | But how? |
18602 | But suppose someone asks Martha about the Hermit of Martin''s Hill? |
18602 | But this station- master business--? |
18602 | But until then--? |
18602 | But were they suitable for James Holden? |
18602 | But what shall I do? |
18602 | But what''s missing? |
18602 | But where are your parents? 18602 But why should anybody ask such personal questions?" |
18602 | But why? |
18602 | But why? |
18602 | But wo n''t it make--? |
18602 | But, well-- what I mean, is-- Just who is Mr. Maxwell? 18602 But--""Did n''t you like it?" |
18602 | But--"Got an hour? |
18602 | Can I come back tomorrow night? |
18602 | Can this be done? |
18602 | Can we help? |
18602 | Can you cash this, please? |
18602 | Can you protect yourself? |
18602 | Can you stand the pressure of a whole world angered because you''ve denied them their right to an education? |
18602 | Cautious? |
18602 | Cigarette? |
18602 | Could be, but what has all this to do with me? 18602 Counsel, are you finished?" |
18602 | Did n''t you like it? |
18602 | Did you intend to keep it for yourself? |
18602 | Did you? |
18602 | Do n''t you like lawyers, honey? |
18602 | Do you have to--came out as"Does you has to--?" |
18602 | Do you tell that to all the girls? |
18602 | During those years, Mrs. Fisher, did James Holden at any time conduct himself in any other manner but the actions of an honest citizen? 18602 English?" |
18602 | Er-- how old are you? |
18602 | First,said Manison, his pencil poised over a notebook,"Who lives here in permanent residence, and for how long?" |
18602 | Flop? |
18602 | Friday? |
18602 | Got a flop? |
18602 | Has he made that statement recently? |
18602 | Have you an account here? |
18602 | He taking over? |
18602 | He wo n''t be gone long, will he? |
18602 | Hey, will this contraption of yours teach me how to adjust a set of tappets? |
18602 | Hiding? |
18602 | History? |
18602 | How can that be? |
18602 | How come with your education you do n''t know how to type? |
18602 | How could he, young man? |
18602 | How do we memorize anything? |
18602 | How do you want it? |
18602 | How does it work? |
18602 | How is Maggie? |
18602 | How much have you heard? |
18602 | How old are you, young fellow? |
18602 | How old are you, young man? |
18602 | How old are you? |
18602 | How so? |
18602 | How would you like to collect twenty- five hundred dollars? |
18602 | How''s he doing? |
18602 | How,he asked slowly,"can a risk be calculated?" |
18602 | Hum,he said,"that''s the Herm-- er, d''you know him?" |
18602 | Hungry? |
18602 | I do n''t see--? |
18602 | I may not? |
18602 | I''ll teach you, you little--"Pedagogue? |
18602 | I''m supposed to take a cab--"I''m going your way, why not ride along with me? |
18602 | In there? |
18602 | In what way? |
18602 | In your opinion, were these surroundings suitable for James Holden? |
18602 | Incredible? 18602 Indeed? |
18602 | Is it going to cost much? |
18602 | Is n''t here? |
18602 | Is n''t it right? 18602 Is n''t it?" |
18602 | Is n''t that a bit young to be writing stories? |
18602 | It does n''t make sense, does it? |
18602 | It is bad to elevate the mind of the average ward- heeler? 18602 It-- could teach me?" |
18602 | James, would you say that your method of educating yourself is completely perfected? |
18602 | James,he said in a quieter voice,"Can you repair the damage quickly?" |
18602 | James,said Martha brightly,"we should be somewhat better than a pair of kids who do n''t know what it''s all about, should n''t we?" |
18602 | James,said Paul Brennan quietly,"do you see you''re making trouble for your grandparents? |
18602 | James,she said softly,"do you know the rest of your numbers?" |
18602 | Janet, what''s with you, anyway? |
18602 | Janet, what_ is_ with you? |
18602 | Jimmy James, who taught you about leverage? |
18602 | Jimmy who? |
18602 | Jimmy,pleaded his grandmother,"ca n''t you see? |
18602 | Just who is this Charles Maxwell character, anyway? |
18602 | Kid, do you want a flop for the night? |
18602 | Late? 18602 Let''s get this straight,"he said,"now that we''re on the subject, what about Mr. Charles Maxwell?" |
18602 | Letter? |
18602 | Like what? |
18602 | Martha? |
18602 | May I get you some coffee or a highball? |
18602 | Meaning what? |
18602 | Moe, what did this kid sell you? |
18602 | My goodness, what''s the matter with him? |
18602 | Need anything, ma''am? |
18602 | No luck, kid? |
18602 | No, but--"And when did you intend to release it? |
18602 | No? 18602 Nobody?" |
18602 | Not perfected? |
18602 | Now, James,went on Waterman,"have you ever entertained the idea of not releasing the details of your method?" |
18602 | Now, Jimmy, how does your father drive? 18602 Now, will you go?" |
18602 | Now,asked James,"what''s going on here?" |
18602 | Now,he asked,"will you repair your machine?" |
18602 | Oh, now Janet--"That''s what you meant, is n''t it? |
18602 | Oh? 18602 Oh?" |
18602 | Okay, but how are we going to work it? 18602 Or did n''t they provide you with this tidbit of vital statistic?" |
18602 | Or,added Manison,"was it so that he would know how close to the limit he could go without stepping over the line?" |
18602 | Perturbed? 18602 Precedent?" |
18602 | Pregnant? |
18602 | Prepared for what? |
18602 | Risky? |
18602 | Round- trip or one- way? |
18602 | Roundtree? 18602 Sissy?" |
18602 | So if this is true, James, just who owns that fabulous machine of yours? |
18602 | So what are you doing now? |
18602 | So what can we do? |
18602 | So, James, shall we go quietly or shall we have a scene? |
18602 | So? |
18602 | Suppose she were working in the A.E.C.-College? |
18602 | Sure it''s all right? |
18602 | Suspicion of what? |
18602 | Talking about me? |
18602 | That all? |
18602 | The house is your property? |
18602 | The little genius, huh? |
18602 | Then let''s try it just once, please? |
18602 | Then listen--At the end of James Holden''s long explanation, Tim Fisher said,"Me--? |
18602 | Then why are n''t you going? |
18602 | Then why do you bother asking? |
18602 | Then why does n''t he make use of it? |
18602 | Then will you explain why you have kept this a secret? |
18602 | Then you agree with our interest? |
18602 | Then you tell me who is responsible for the person of James Holden? |
18602 | Think not? 18602 Think you know everything you need to know to enter this adult world?" |
18602 | To read and write, of course? |
18602 | To which he objected? |
18602 | Tom, what do you make of this? |
18602 | Upon what grounds? |
18602 | Upon what grounds? |
18602 | Was n''t very well, was it? |
18602 | Well, I suppose it had to do with judgment? |
18602 | Well, suppose you could do what you wish this year? 18602 Well, that-- er--""Would be different?" |
18602 | Well, why are n''t you in school? |
18602 | Well, young man, where to? 18602 Well,"said Martha,"are n''t we?" |
18602 | Well? |
18602 | What are you hiding? |
18602 | What book? |
18602 | What did you do to Brennan, here? |
18602 | What did you do? |
18602 | What do you fear? |
18602 | What do you intend to do about it? |
18602 | What do you mean, what''s with her? |
18602 | What do you mean,''what''s with me?'' |
18602 | What do you mean? |
18602 | What do you think now about those days? |
18602 | What else did they teach you, James? |
18602 | What goes on here? |
18602 | What happened? |
18602 | What happened? |
18602 | What is his point of view? |
18602 | What is your definition of''furtive''? |
18602 | What took you so long? |
18602 | What was-- that? |
18602 | What were you doing at six years old, Brennan? 18602 What''cha do, kid?" |
18602 | What''s going on? |
18602 | What''s so darned funny? |
18602 | What''s so darned funny? |
18602 | What''s so funny? |
18602 | What''s that for? |
18602 | What''s the gimmick, James? |
18602 | What''s up? |
18602 | What''s wrong with higher education? |
18602 | What''s your name? |
18602 | What''s your name? |
18602 | What''s your name? |
18602 | What? |
18602 | What? |
18602 | What? |
18602 | Whatcha know about it? |
18602 | When did Columbus discover America? |
18602 | When last did you hear him say words to that effect? |
18602 | When? |
18602 | When? |
18602 | Where are you going, young man? 18602 Where did you attend school?" |
18602 | Where did you get this check, young fellow? |
18602 | Where did you get your education? |
18602 | Where''d you sleep last night? |
18602 | Where''s Judge Carter? |
18602 | Where? |
18602 | Who do you want killed? |
18602 | Who is this Jimmy James? |
18602 | Who would n''t? |
18602 | Who you staying with? |
18602 | Who''re you? |
18602 | Who''re your parents, kid? |
18602 | Who''s responsible for you? |
18602 | Who''s writing you? |
18602 | Why did they wait so long if they both want it? |
18602 | Why did you run away? 18602 Why have you told me all this?" |
18602 | Why not? |
18602 | Why not? |
18602 | Why not? |
18602 | Why not? |
18602 | Why should he be stewing? |
18602 | Why? |
18602 | Why? |
18602 | Why? |
18602 | Wise, huh? |
18602 | Would you expect to know all of her business if she were your wife? |
18602 | Yes, I did, and--"Was that good judgment, James Holden? |
18602 | Yes, but--? |
18602 | Yes? |
18602 | Yet you claim to have the education of a high- school graduate? |
18602 | You afraid of that Moe punk, Jimmy? |
18602 | You are-- I what? |
18602 | You assume that I''ll stay, then? |
18602 | You do n''t doubt that I can, do you? |
18602 | You do n''t think I''m including her out, do you? |
18602 | You do, James? 18602 You escaped from an orphan asylum?" |
18602 | You know the machine wo n''t hurt, do n''t you? |
18602 | You mean that test- trio? |
18602 | You still want revenge? 18602 You understand that under the state laws that provide for the education of minor children, the curriculum must be approved by the state?" |
18602 | You want to be smart, like James, do n''t you? |
18602 | You want your competence affirmed legally? 18602 You will?" |
18602 | You wrote-- but why? |
18602 | You''ll keep an ear out for Martha? |
18602 | You''re James Holden? |
18602 | You''re Jimmy James? |
18602 | You''re not concerned about losing the rubber, are you? |
18602 | You''re not concerned over Maxwell, are you? |
18602 | You''re satisfied, then? |
18602 | You''re saying that this Holden kid is smarter than I am? |
18602 | Your Honor,asked Waterman,"ca n''t we have your indulgence?" |
18602 | Abruptly his teacher snapped,"James Holden, how much is seven times nine?" |
18602 | After all, what was wrong with the girl''s learning proper speech? |
18602 | Agree, James?" |
18602 | Alone in the kitchen, James asked Martha,"What''s with your mother?" |
18602 | Am I not correct?" |
18602 | Am I right?" |
18602 | And the children?" |
18602 | And then, as Brennan made no response, James Holden went on,"Or were you by chance reading the word''pedagogue''?" |
18602 | And where-- if he exists-- is this Charles Maxwell?" |
18602 | Any relation to Jesse James?" |
18602 | Are we friends again?" |
18602 | Brennan said,"You understand me, do n''t you, Jimmy?" |
18602 | Brightly, Jimmy asked,"Can I open an account here?" |
18602 | But can James Holden fly a kite or shoot a marble? |
18602 | But darn it, Martha, how does a guy grow up? |
18602 | But how about Brennan?" |
18602 | But how are you going to swing it, technically in ignorance of the existence of such a machine?" |
18602 | But is n''t crying for a lawyer an admission of some sort?" |
18602 | But now that we''ve covered this problem, let''s drop the subject for a while, huh?" |
18602 | But the law is subject to interpretation and change and argument and precedent-- Precedent? |
18602 | But what happens without''Maxwell''? |
18602 | But where can a five- year- old hide? |
18602 | But who would listen to any complaint about too much kindness? |
18602 | But why does any kid have to live for himself?" |
18602 | By the time an overworked nurse stopped to think and finally asked,"Kitty, are you taking care of the little boy in Bed 6 over in 219?" |
18602 | Ca n''t you believe that?" |
18602 | Ca n''t you see?" |
18602 | Can you do the multiplication table?" |
18602 | Can you understand that?" |
18602 | Come in?" |
18602 | Could our butchers operate; must our housewives live among a horde of flies? |
18602 | Could our policemen aim their guns at a vicious criminal if they were conditioned against killing? |
18602 | Could you have planned your own dinner and prepared it, or would you have dined on chocolate bars washed down with strawberry pop? |
18602 | Did you or did you not aid in the education of Martha Bagley, now Martha Fisher?" |
18602 | Do n''t you know?" |
18602 | Do you expect him down, or shall I go upstairs--?" |
18602 | Do you have to report in, punch a time clock, tuck him in-- or do you turn into a pumpkin at the stroke of twelve?" |
18602 | Do you know what positive identification means?" |
18602 | Do you like Mulligan?" |
18602 | Do you suppose that I could sit in a classroom among my nine- year- old contemporaries very long without being found out?" |
18602 | Do you understand?" |
18602 | Do your folks have an account here?" |
18602 | Does n''t that give me some rights?" |
18602 | Does that make sense?" |
18602 | Does the State study all textbooks and the manner in which each and every school presents them? |
18602 | Envy? |
18602 | Et cetera?" |
18602 | Fast or slow?" |
18602 | Finally he looked at Janet Fisher and said,"May I also presume that you would be happy to resume your association with James Holden?" |
18602 | Finally he moved back an inch and said,"What''s the matter?" |
18602 | First, James Holden was an exceptional child?" |
18602 | Fisher?" |
18602 | Five? |
18602 | Food was of high importance, but how could he get it without attracting attention to himself? |
18602 | For what? |
18602 | For whom? |
18602 | Get it?" |
18602 | Give up, now?" |
18602 | Grant it? |
18602 | Has he ever had the fun of sliding into third base, or whittling on a peg, or any of the other enjoyable trivia of boyhood? |
18602 | Hate? |
18602 | Have I made myself clear?" |
18602 | Have n''t we enough trouble as it is? |
18602 | Have you any idea why the framers of the Constitution of the United States placed such restrictions?" |
18602 | Have you no ambition? |
18602 | Have you no friends? |
18602 | He asked Jake about it:"Why did n''t you take the sea- green Ford in front of the corner store?" |
18602 | He bubbled and blurted,"Wha-- whu--?" |
18602 | He sat down and asked,"What happened, Jimmy?" |
18602 | He swallowed and then asked, lamely,"Why does he have to be so furtive?" |
18602 | He was old enough to learn-- Learn--? |
18602 | He went on,"You know what your father''s machine will do for you, do n''t you, Jimmy?" |
18602 | He''d--""He''d what? |
18602 | He''s covered Mason''s History of Superstition and--""Superstition?" |
18602 | He''s not to be interrupted, is he? |
18602 | His grandfather said,"Jimmy, are n''t you exaggerating? |
18602 | How could she make this youngster understand that eighty is not an age at which to embark upon the process of raising a five- year- old to maturity? |
18602 | How does a guy learn these things?" |
18602 | How long do you think it would have been before millions of people howled at your door? |
18602 | How much?" |
18602 | How soon, wondered Jake, might the ante be raised to two Gee? |
18602 | How, may I ask?" |
18602 | I mean, did he perform or suggest the performance of any illegal act to your knowledge?" |
18602 | I suppose you think that any man in this room can handle you simply because we''re all larger than you are? |
18602 | I''m ordered out of my room, am I? |
18602 | I''ve checked--""How dare you check--?" |
18602 | If you have nothing to hide, why are you acting as if you were sitting on the lid?" |
18602 | In a different tone she asked,"What did you do last year?" |
18602 | In other words, you hoped to make an intellectual misfit out of her, too?" |
18602 | In what way must the curriculum be approved? |
18602 | Is Mr. Fisher home? |
18602 | Is it a deal?" |
18602 | Is it wrong, when at the present time it takes a man until he is almost thirty years old before he can say that his education is complete?" |
18602 | Is something wrong?" |
18602 | Is that clear?" |
18602 | Is that, and everything else I''ve said in private, very clear?" |
18602 | Is this making a better world, or is n''t it?" |
18602 | James, what did I do?" |
18602 | Jealousy? |
18602 | Know what I think? |
18602 | Know''em?" |
18602 | London? |
18602 | Lord knows we''ve plenty of education between us, but--""James, how did we get that education?" |
18602 | Manison?" |
18602 | Martha? |
18602 | May he enter the polling place and cast his vote? |
18602 | Maybe Mars?" |
18602 | Maybe-- hand Tim Fisher a bit with great gesture and he would not go prying for the whole? |
18602 | Maybe--""Who''s he?" |
18602 | Mr. Fisher, where would you place me in school?" |
18602 | Mr. Manison was introduced around and Tim Fisher said, cautiously,"What''s the trouble here?" |
18602 | Mr. Mitchell was scornful: Maybe James would like to vote and smoke a pipe? |
18602 | Mrs. Bagley said,"In other words, the fact that he offered me a job in writing and I took it in writing--?" |
18602 | No legal guardian? |
18602 | Now tell me, were the toys, surroundings, and the home suitable for James Holden?" |
18602 | Now, Jimmy, where was I when you left my apartment?" |
18602 | Now, kid, do you know anything about spotting?" |
18602 | Now, tell me, Mr. Fisher, to whom shall she remain loyal?" |
18602 | Now, what''s going on? |
18602 | Now, what''s the story?" |
18602 | Now, young man, for the last time, will you walk or will you be carried? |
18602 | Okay? |
18602 | On the fringe of this group, an olive- skinned Brazilian co- ed asks:"Where''s Martha?" |
18602 | On the other hand, suppose we''treated''people to feel anguish at thoughts of murder or killing, theft, treason, and other forms of human deviltry?" |
18602 | Or does the State merely insist that the school child be taught certain subjects?" |
18602 | Paris? |
18602 | Perhaps civic pride? |
18602 | Perhaps you''ve looked up some of the''Charles Maxwell''books? |
18602 | Please?" |
18602 | Ready, Martha?" |
18602 | Revenge? |
18602 | Shall he be granted the right to enter a tavern to buy a drink? |
18602 | Shall he go to Harvard alone, or shall he go to coeducational California with the hope that Martha will follow him? |
18602 | She asked,"James, do you mind if I go out this evening?" |
18602 | She looks up and says,"What if he does n''t make the connection?" |
18602 | Some of them yelping for help and some of them bitterly objecting to tampering with the immature brain? |
18602 | Someone going to meet you, of course?" |
18602 | Still puzzled, Waterman asked,"Mrs. Fisher, who did supervise the House on Martin''s Hill?" |
18602 | The driver said to Moe,"Think he''s all right?" |
18602 | The steward placed a menu in front of him, and then asked carefully,"How much money do you want to spend, young man?" |
18602 | Theft? |
18602 | Then he said,"Dad, why did you make that sacrifice bid on the last hand?" |
18602 | Then who writes these stories? |
18602 | They do not lead the pack in an easy lope, for who holds rank when admirals meet? |
18602 | Throw the machine? |
18602 | Tim Fisher obviously desired extramarital relations with Mrs. Bagley-- or was it premarital relations? |
18602 | Tim? |
18602 | Tim? |
18602 | To provide the smalltime politician with a fine grasp of the National Problem and how his little local problems fit into the big picture? |
18602 | Treason? |
18602 | Understand?" |
18602 | Understand?" |
18602 | Understand?" |
18602 | Understand?" |
18602 | Was the Manhattan Project called''furtive''until Hiroshima gave the story away?" |
18602 | Waterman?" |
18602 | Well, what about that cookbook?" |
18602 | Well, what had Paul Brennan to gain? |
18602 | Were you writing boys''stories for a nationwide magazine of high circulation and accredited quality? |
18602 | What I mean is that no matter how we got our education, we had to learn, did n''t we?" |
18602 | What about the police?" |
18602 | What are you doing here? |
18602 | What are you talking about?" |
18602 | What did I do and how am I lying?" |
18602 | What did I do and how do I lie?" |
18602 | What do you have in mind?" |
18602 | What is your point?" |
18602 | What kind of a man is he?" |
18602 | What makes you think it ca n''t?" |
18602 | What then?" |
18602 | What would that be?" |
18602 | When is eleven- thirty late?" |
18602 | Where did you come by your knowledge?" |
18602 | Where did you learn it?" |
18602 | Where have you been?" |
18602 | Where is your daughter and where is that little boy? |
18602 | Who handles your business affairs?" |
18602 | Who knows why any man will hazard his hard- earned money on the orientation of a pair of dice? |
18602 | Who says,''go ahead,''if he has an attack of acute appendicitis?" |
18602 | Who supports you-- and this house?" |
18602 | Why are we sitting here fumbling? |
18602 | Why would he do the evil thing you say he did?" |
18602 | Will his request for a license to marry be honored? |
18602 | Will the Court honor a petition that the case be dismissed?" |
18602 | Will you direct him to respond to my direct question with a direct answer?" |
18602 | With a thoughtful expression, Judge Carter said,"James Holden, how did you acquire this magnificent education at the tender age of twelve- plus?" |
18602 | Wo n''t he be punished enough just hearing the word''pedagogue''?" |
18602 | You think I let you keep the machine just to play games? |
18602 | You visitin''him?" |
18602 | You''re not goin''to the college?" |
18602 | _ What was Judge Carter doing?_***** James Holden arrived to find the home of Judge Norman L. Carter an upset madhouse. |
18602 | and received the answer,"No, are n''t you?" |
18602 | installation on the other side of town?" |
