COCK AND BALLS

STORY OF MY LIFE

Colonel : To begin with -- we're not what you'd call -- human. Over the past two hundred years -- A kind of consciousness formed layer by layer in the crucible of the White House. It's not unlike the way life started in the oceans four billion years ago. The White House was our primordial soup, a base of evolution -- We are formless. We are the very discipline and morality that Americans invoke so often. How can anyone hope to eliminate us? As long as this nation exists, so will we. Raiden : Cut the crap! If you're immortal, why would you take away individual freedoms and censor the Net? Rose : Jack, don't be silly. Colonel : Don't you know that our plans have your interests -- not ours -- in mind? Raiden : What? Rose : Jack, listen carefully like a good boy! Colonel : The mapping of the human genome was completed early this century. As a result, the evolutionary log of the human race lay open to us. Rose : We started with genetic engineering, and in the end, we succeeded in digitizing life itself. Colonel : But there are things not covered by genetic information. Raiden : What do you mean? Colonel : Human memories, ideas. Culture. History. Rose : Genes don't contain any record of human history. Colonel : Is it something that should not be passed on? Should that information be left at the mercy of nature? Rose : We've always kept records of our lives. Through words, pictures, symbols... from tablets to books... Colonel : But not all the information was inherited by later generations.
