Were further perpetuated by the

political and religious leaders

Who irresponsibility allowed

the equally devastating crime

Of overpopulation.

Time... The time is 13:55.

Will all museum officials

Report to their

designated posts.

And humanity suffered

the great famine

And the smog blanket age.

Outside and to the rear

of the museum

You may visit our 20th

century life exhibition.

This is comprised of

a street of seven houses,

Any one of which

is a perfect replica

Of the domicile

of the 20th century family.

Each home is fully equipped

With all the household gadgets

Which have been obsolete...

Who's with who tonight?

Well, if you want

to go with Carol,

I think she's coming

down with a cold.

She must have got it from me.

I cured mine with a

big dose of aspirin.

There ought to be a law

against free-Breeding germs.

I think I'd better

sleep alone tonight.

Why did you lie to George?

Why did you play along?

I don't know.

Why lie?

Well, I don't know.

Edna's behaving like a b*tch

for the last couple of days.

Besides, you might be

coming down with something.

Who says?

I say.

Thank you.

Delicious.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Well, that's our

1971 exhibition for today.

Hope you enjoyed yourselves

And saw some interesting things.

Now Russ and George will take

you to the pond pavilion

Where you'll see

some bodies of water

That were known

as lakes and ponds.

Some contained edible fish

now extinct.

As you know,

during the spatial crisis,

These bodies of water

were filled in

To make room for housing.

Oh, good evening,

Mrs. McNeil.

Good evening.

Is Dr. Mallory in?

Yes, doctor's in his office.

May I speak to him, please?

Just a moment.

Yes, nurse?

Mrs. McNeil, doctor.

Turn her on.

Hello, carol.

Good evening, doctor.

I'm listening.

I'm listening, carol.

Doctor, I went to

the baby shop today,

And I just couldn't go through with it.

Go on.

Well... also...

I find it very difficult...

to make love.

Have you used

the audio-Visual erotica?

Yes, but it just doesn't seem.

To stimulate me.

That's unusual, carol.

Most women find it helpful.

I know.

Doctor, I just

can't bring myself

To believe all this.

I just don't understand myself.

I know I'm very lucky really.

I have a much freer life

And unusual space

And oxygen privileges

And better rations

And even a vegetable garden,

but...

Lots of women would like

to be in your place, carol.

I know.

I know.

Doctor, I...

Go on, carol.

Go on, carol.

Go on, carol.

Doctor, I want to have a baby...

my baby.

That's impossible, carol.

I know, but I want my own baby.

You know that's

impossible, carol.

No one is allowed to have a baby

For the next 22 years.

I know, but I want one.

That is not reality, carol.

Your life is reality.

You must learn to

understand and accept it.

It is as it is,

And it will be

until the day you die.

That is the only reality.

The only reality, carol.

The only reality.

Welcome to twilight city,

Northeast division,

sunset sector.

The society wishes to express

Its sincere and extreme pleasure

At your visit.

To those citizens here

for the first time,

A very special welcome.

We know you will find the

tranquility of twilight city

Very gratifying

And the smiling faces

of our senior citizens

Richly rewarding.

Doctor...

it's carol.

How is he?

He's been very depressed.

It's carol, doctor.

Doctor, it's carol.

Carol.

He recognizes you.

After all,

you were one of his babies.

He brought you into the world.

We conquered cancer...

and then heart disease...

and all the rest of it...

and for what?

If this is living...

I'm alive...

and you'll never have a baby.

We didn't know.

We just didn't know.

The society wishes to remind you

That there are only

21 days to Christmas.

From the dawn of recorded time,

There have been festivities

Coinciding

with the winter solstice.

Assyrian, Babylonian,

and Egyptian civilizations,

All worshipping the sun in

different manifestations,

Celebrated

with priestly sacrifice...

Baby!

We got another one.

Come quick.

You know that's impossible.

It's not reality.

This is the only reality.

The only reality.

The only reality.

I'm alive,

And you'll never have a baby.

We didn't know.

We just didn't know.

You can't know how I feel.

Go and take care of it.

Go on.

It's just a doll.

It's only a doll.

It's a fake...

Wire and wheels.

It doesn't love me

Can't see me.

It's only a fake.

Call to peter.

Call to peter, Edna.

He can't even see me.

He doesn't know me.

He's plastic.

He needs you.

He loves you, Edna.

Call to him.

Without you he'll die.

Without you he's lost.

Don't turn away from him.

Don't turn away from him now.

Don't desert him.

Where are you, mummy?

Come back to him.

Come back.

He's alone.

He's afraid to be alone.

He wants you.

He needs his mother.

Protect him.

Only you can protect him.

Come back to him.

Come back.

He's alone.

He's afraid of the darkness.

He's alone and afraid.

Protect him.

Only you can protect him.

Where is my mummy?

He must know you love him.

Without your love,

He'll be empty and cold.

Without your love,

He'll die.

He'll die.

Why did mummy go away?

Go to him, Edna.

Peter.

Go to him.

Peter.

Oh, my baby.

You're back!

You're back!

My baby.

You're back, mummy!

My baby.

I love you dearly.

Mummy, oh, mummy, I love you!

Oh, peter.

Oh, my baby.

Oh, my baby.

My baby.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Carol, you ready?

Yes, I'll be right with you.

That's nice of you, Russ.

Yes, well, it'll be...

more like a meal.

Where do you want to eat?

Do I have a choice?

No.

They've certainly made

some improvements here.

Yes. The steak

smells like steak.

Yes.

Tastes like steak, too.

Bon appetite.

They certainly have

made some improvements.

The vegetables!

The vegetables!

Russ, he's taken the vegetables!

They're fresh!

Fresh vegetables!

Vegetables!
