1. Hey.Copy !req
2. R. Dorothy Wayneright.Copy !req
3. What's the big idea?Copy !req
4. The scrambled eggs Norman
made for you will get cold.Copy !req
5. You stayed in bed fifteen
minutes later than usual.Copy !req
6. And that makes it okay
to wake me up like this?Copy !req
7. Okay, now I get it.
You're just mimicking us.Copy !req
8. That's why you seem so unnatural.Copy !req
9. Could you be more specific?Copy !req
10. Now matter how "human" your piano
playing is, you're just imitating us.Copy !req
11. That's why your playing can't
make people feel good.Copy !req
12. An alarm bell never
makes you feel good.Copy !req
13. That's not...Copy !req
14. This has been happening quite
a lot recently, hasn't it?Copy !req
15. I'll switch us over to
our private generator.Copy !req
16. Please, continue eating.Copy !req
17. Would you stop that?Copy !req
18. Oh, my! How convenient!Copy !req
19. Norman! What's the power situation?Copy !req
20. I'm sorry, sir, but you have a guest.Copy !req
21. You let in a guest?
Without my permission?Copy !req
22. Yes, sir.Copy !req
23. I see.Copy !req
24. I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
I'm Roger Smith.Copy !req
25. How may I be of service, Miss...Copy !req
26. Casey Jenkins.Copy !req
27. I'm on contract with Power Management
to oversee investigations.Copy !req
28. So, you're with the Paradigm Group.Copy !req
29. There have certainly been a lot of
outages, haven't there, Miss Casey?Copy !req
30. Do you know where we get
our electricity from?Copy !req
31. So, how may I help you?Copy !req
32. I was hired to see that a hydroelectric
power plant that's remained unused...Copy !req
33. was brought back online.Copy !req
34. It's only natural to ask yourself,
"Why a Negotiator?"Copy !req
35. The residents of the Electric City, the
decayed town where the plant is located,Copy !req
36. are apparently obstructing the power
company that's redeveloping the area.Copy !req
37. Why did I take this job?Copy !req
38. Normally, I'd never take a job from
Paradigm, the business that rules this city.Copy !req
39. Electric supply deficiencies...
Let Paradigm worry about it.Copy !req
40. It's not like they care if there's a steady
supply of electricity outside the domes.Copy !req
41. Then, why?Copy !req
42. I'm well aware of your reputation,
Roger the Negotiator.Copy !req
43. Where's the power plant?Copy !req
44. Over there, huh?Copy !req
45. Whoever chained this up...Copy !req
46. sure must hate electricity, huh?Copy !req
47. I don't know if "Electric City"
was always the name of this place,Copy !req
48. but it's ironic, that's for sure.Copy !req
49. What's the matter?Copy !req
50. Doesn't anybody here understand me?Copy !req
51. Call us primitives if you like.Copy !req
52. "God will rain down His
lightning of wrath"?Copy !req
53. I'm no atheist, but I'm not
so naive as to believe...Copy !req
54. there's a god here who gets
angry when electricity is used.Copy !req
55. There's no evidence that the tunnels
leading there have been destroyed.Copy !req
56. It's connected underground!Copy !req
57. Oh, man...Copy !req
58. If I'd have known it'd be like this,
I would've brought Dorothy along.Copy !req
59. She could've made herself
useful by lighting up the path.Copy !req
60. This is it, huh?Copy !req
61. It's not my style to carry a gun.Copy !req
62. I'm not too fond of being
slugged from behind, either.Copy !req
63. You sure like to sleep in.Copy !req
64. I can't wake up unless someone's
playing the blues on the piano.Copy !req
65. I can't see why Paradigm
hired a loafer like you.Copy !req
66. I may be a loafer, but I'm not so
impolite as to not help my elders.Copy !req
67. Plus, I don't work for Paradigm.Copy !req
68. My scrambled eggs are pretty good.Copy !req
69. By the way, why don't you live
with the others down in town?Copy !req
70. That's none of your concern.Copy !req
71. I've failed in my
job as a negotiator.Copy !req
72. I ask purely out of curiosity.Copy !req
73. Please, dig in.Copy !req
74. What's this?Copy !req
75. This isn't an ordinary facility...Copy !req
76. I didn't touch anything!Copy !req
77. D-Did somebody connect the power?Copy !req
78. Old man! The power, it's...Copy !req
79. Somebody started the turbines!Copy !req
80. You had friends here, didn't you?Copy !req
81. I came here alone. I'm not
working with anyone.Copy !req
82. This guy's good.Copy !req
83. I have to stop the turbines!Copy !req
84. If I don't hurry, something
terrible will happen!Copy !req
85. Please, leave this to me.Copy !req
86. Whoever did this is a professional.Copy !req
87. You were a professional scientist.
You should understand.Copy !req
88. Jobs should be left to
the professionals, right?Copy !req
89. I've seen those curves before.Copy !req
90. You were just using me,
weren't you, Miss Casey?Copy !req
91. Not bad, Mr. Negotiator.Copy !req
92. Thanks to you, I was able
to find a wonderful route.Copy !req
93. I thought I told you I don't
take jobs from unfair clients.Copy !req
94. You accomplished what
I wanted you to do.Copy !req
95. And then some.Copy !req
96. So you aren't with Power
Management, Miss...Copy !req
97. Call me Angel.Copy !req
98. A fallen one, I see.Copy !req
99. The wrath of God...Copy !req
100. It's too dangerous to stay here!Copy !req
101. But why? All I did was
reactivate the turbines!Copy !req
102. Where'd the old man go?Copy !req
103. Who? What old man?Copy !req
104. Damn! He started up the turbines?Copy !req
105. God is...Copy !req
106. What is that? Nobody said
anything about this!Copy !req
107. That lab... That giant tank...Copy !req
108. W-What is that?Copy !req
109. Hey!Copy !req
110. This is none of my business!Copy !req
111. My job is done!Copy !req
112. Hey! It's dangerous down there!Copy !req
113. I have a car!Copy !req
114. Talk about your fallen angels...Copy !req
115. Big O!Copy !req
116. As you instructed,
I shipped it over last night.Copy !req
117. It should arrive in 15 seconds.Copy !req
118. Thanks, Norman.Copy !req
119. If you live through this,
let's get together sometime.Copy !req
120. What a...Copy !req
121. Oh, no!Copy !req
122. Big O! Showtime!Copy !req
123. Action!Copy !req
124. My car!Copy !req
125. A Megadeus!Copy !req
126. What's that black giant?Copy !req
127. Now I know why a little dam like this
was so important to the power supply!Copy !req
128. You must be a man-made god.Copy !req
129. Rest in peace!Copy !req
130. What?Copy !req
131. All right, then!Copy !req
132. If I fire my Chromebuster now, I'd...Copy !req
133. Damn! What's that old
man doing out there?Copy !req
134. Old man!Copy !req
135. Now I get it!
He's shutting it down!Copy !req
136. Now!Copy !req
137. T-This is the city's true form,
just like the legends said...Copy !req
138. It really was a god!Copy !req
139. I left the area after first
destroying the power plant...Copy !req
140. so that it could
never be reactivated.Copy !req
141. That was my way of
concluding negotiations...Copy !req
142. with the old man who
created that monster.Copy !req
143. A man-made god that
gives off electricity...Copy !req
144. It was unfortunate that Sven
Mauriski, that old scientist,Copy !req
145. had the Memories that created
that artificial life form.Copy !req
146. It looks like Paradigm retrieved
a sample from that monster,Copy !req
147. but I doubt they'll ever
try to create another.Copy !req
148. How many times do I have to tell you
that it's pointless to just imitate us?Copy !req
149. Anyway, how come you're
playing the blues?Copy !req
150. Even I sometimes feel
like playing them.Copy !req
151. "Feel"?Copy !req
152. If you say so.Copy !req
