I'm dying.

Do you regret it?

CRAVEN

I feel so much is left undone.

Other people will continue the job. You'll be with me.

I still don't understand.

Dad, it's happened before, you know. Millions of years ago, when the earth was cold, it looked as if life on the planet would cease to exist. But black flowers began to grow, multiplying across its face, till the entire landscape was covered in blooms. Slowly, the blackness of the flowers sucked in the heat of the sun, and life began to evolve again. That is the power of Gaia.

CRAVEN

It will take more than a black flower to save us this time.

This time, when it comes, it will melt the polar ice cap. Millions will die. The planet will protect itself. It's important to realise that. If man is the enemy, it will destroy him.

CRAVEN

Is this some kind of warning?

EMMA
|
All I'm saying is don't spend your last hours seeking revenge, Dad. The planet will do it for us, in time.

 I believe that Fusion motors will power the great spaceships of the 21st century, which will leave the earth in their hundreds to colonise the solar system. That, ultimately, is what the phrase high frontier means.

[V.O. CONTINUES ON PA] The historical expansion of man into space with all the parallels it evokes of the rigours and heroism of America's 19th-century trek westward. Like our forefathers, we will be escaping poverty and tyranny, and, as in the past, war will provide the anvil upon which...

I foresee, within the next 100 years, the beginning of man as an interplanetary being, a celestial warrior. And furthermore, a solar empire for the United States of America and her allies. Looking at our overpopulated, over-exhausted planet, I don't see how we can turn our backs on such a future, no matter what it costs or how long it takes.

JEDBURGH
|
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you. $500,000 million for a defence system for Washington DC seems a bit pricey to me, but then, I don't live there...
