| Andrei: | Our whole civilization can be likened to a huge, gas-guzzling car. | |
| Soo: | Maybe, but such excessive consumption can't last. | |
| Ellesha: | In some way or other humans have always been at the edge of disaster. | |
| Philyra: | Things are different now. Life on our planet is imperiled. | |
| Jules: | Perhaps, but I need a beer . . . Can't we talk about something "fun"? | |
| Philyra: | How obvious must things be before you're willing to take a stand? |
