Division of Labor 1: Product<br />
MAN: Unh, oh, what did they say our way of life was called<br />
WOMAN: It doesn’t matter what it is called; still, if you must know, it’s called a subsistence economy.<br />
MAN: Subsistence economy. It’s terrible! I work day in, day out just to keep us alive.<br />
WOMAN: It’s not just him. Every human being here is just a machine.<br />
MAN: You fill them up with food and water and then you use the energy you get from food and water to<br />
dig the ground, to plant seeds, to grow grain and to keep the animals.<br />
WOMAN: And you eat the food you grow to give yourself energy to keep yourself alive to plant more<br />
seed to grow more food…<br />
MAN: …to give yourself more energy to plant more seed…<br />
WOMAN: …to grow more food to give yourself more energy…it’s a trap, you know, a subsistence trap.<br />
MAN: It needs a genius to get us out of this one.<br />
BOTH: Unh, ooh…<br />
WOMAN: Come on, kids. Run for it!<br />
MAN: Oh! It’s horrible!<br />
BOTH: Unh, ooh…oh, no!<br />
WOMAN: Oh, that landslide, it’s huge!<br />
MAN: And it’s blocked off the whole of the valley.<br />
WOMAN: Now we’ll never be able to get our cattle and sheep to the only grazing we’ve got!<br />
MAN: They’ll die and we’ll starve! If we could only get across the river…<br />
WOMAN: Oh, just look at that lovely green grass – enough to make any cow’s mouth water.<br />
MAN: But we’ll never get the animals across the river safely.<br />
WOMAN: Unless we build a bridge.<br />
MAN: But I only have enough energy to plant the seeds to grow the food to give me the energy to…<br />
WOMAN: Oh, we’ll never build that bridge. What we need is a genius.<br />
MAN: Wait, I have an idea!<br />
