00:00Satsang with Mooji
01:59I'm very well. My name's Greg.
02:01I'm Pet.
02:02Hello, Pet.
02:03I'm looking for a man called Charles Vaughan.
02:06He's here. Come on in.
02:07Where are you from?
02:16The place is about 50 miles away.
02:18How many of you?
02:19Well, there are 12 of us now. Come to see if I can buy some wheat.
02:22Buy? What with?
02:24Now, we've learned the art of curing skins.
02:29You know, we've got a hold of some lime and all the rest of it.
02:32So, not only am I selling those, a couple of car hires out on the cart, but I'm prepared to let you have the secret formula.
02:38The two sacks of wheat.
02:40What happened to your wheat?
02:41I think we served ours too late.
02:43Then we got a hold of some wild corn and that sprouted.
02:46You probably stacked it too wet.
02:47Yeah, probably did.
02:49I expect we can let you have some.
02:51Oh, thanks.
02:52You don't have any matches, do you?
02:53No, no. I just ran out.
02:55We'd make do with this.
02:59We've only got about 10 gallons of petrol left, so we have to count every drop.
03:03How about you?
03:04One and a half gallons for emergencies.
03:08I was hoping you'd be able to give me a refill.
03:10Oh, we can spare that.
03:12Sorry, I don't manage.
03:14I just need one fire tonight to sort of get me to bed and thaw me out in the morning,
03:18and then one for a meal on my way home tomorrow.
03:20Are you going back tomorrow?
03:21I'm afraid so.
03:24What do you live on there?
03:25Oh, sheep mostly.
03:27You know, we've got so many rams this year, I think they're likely to take over.
03:31I mean, we've got cattle and rabbits and chickens.
03:33We grow a bit of barley, potatoes, carrots.
03:36We're doing very nicely.
03:39Where can I get a hold of Charles?
03:40Just a minute.
03:43Charlie!
03:46Take the coat off.
03:47Hmm, thanks.
03:53What's that?
03:54That's a charcoal?
03:55Mm-hmm.
03:57Here.
03:59Very clever.
04:00Secret formula.
04:03Where do you know Charles from?
04:05Well, I met him about a year ago.
04:07There were three of us then.
04:08And Charles wanted us to settle with him.
04:10He always wants people to settle.
04:12Craig!
04:17How are you?
04:17Good to see you.
04:18Good to see you.
04:18You're looking well.
04:19How are you getting on?
04:20Well, fine.
04:21The saddle was doing well.
04:22Yes?
04:22How's, uh...
04:24Uh, Abby and Jenny.
04:25Well, Abby's gone off because she got news of her son.
04:28Uh, Peter.
04:28Yes, yes, I remember.
04:29Yeah.
04:29Uh, she said she'd come back, but that was in June.
04:31And, uh, Jenny?
04:32Oh, she's all right.
04:33Got about 12 people now.
04:34Great.
04:35Uh, what are you doing here?
04:36Nothing wrong?
04:36No, no, no.
04:37Oh, it looks nice.
04:43Yes.
04:44Well, I can see you've learned to survive.
04:46He wants wheat.
04:48We've got plenty.
04:49Hmm.
04:49Haven't got any harness, have we?
04:50Uh, no, but I know where there was some in the autumn.
04:53Now, we haven't got the right skins to make harness yet.
04:57Is that elderflower?
04:58No.
04:59Grape.
05:00Grape?
05:00Yes, we grew some.
05:02It's, uh, it's a little young, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
05:07There you are.
05:08Well, welcome.
05:11Cheers.
05:14Sit down.
05:17Charles, a couple of months ago, we, uh, we sent you our medical student, Ruth, about your babies.
05:25Oh, yes, yes.
05:26Uh, thank you.
05:28Uh, well, she, she did her best.
05:32One of the babies was stillborn, and the other one survived, Ila's.
05:35And after that, she and Lorraine just didn't seem to, uh, hit it off.
05:39So, Ila left, and Lorraine went soon after, and she took the boy with her.
05:44And I came on up here.
05:48You don't happen to know where Ruth is now?
05:50Uh, about 15 miles away.
05:52St Mary's, I think.
05:52Someone had a bad fall.
05:54Is she still there?
05:55Uh, no, I think she moved on.
05:56Do you need her?
05:57Well, it's just, uh, Jenny's having a baby in a couple of weeks, and, um, my Ruth said
06:02she'd come back and give us a hand.
06:03She just hasn't turned up yet.
06:05Yours?
06:06Mm-hmm.
06:07It's mine.
06:07Ha-ha.
06:08Congratulations.
06:09Mm-hmm.
06:09Mm-hmm.
06:39It's me.
06:42Hello, Paul.
06:45Shh.
06:46Lizzie's asleep.
06:47I know.
06:48She's been snoring.
06:50Good night.
07:18Good night, Paul.
07:19All right?
07:35Yes.
07:36Cheer up.
07:41We'll be home in a day or two.
07:44Yes.
07:44Can I get you something?
07:48No, thank you.
07:49Emma just bought me this.
07:54What's up?
07:56Just trying to imagine the baby.
07:58If it's going to be all right.
07:59What it's going to look like.
08:00You don't have to worry about that.
08:02That's all sorted out.
08:03I love your eyes and Craig's hair.
08:05Or the other way around.
08:06I'll check John and Lizzie.
08:11Oh, thank you.
08:13It's funny how they adopted us, isn't it?
08:15Like ducks.
08:17The first thing they see after coming out of their shell, they call mummy.
08:19The first thing they saw after the death was Greg and me.
08:24Oh, I do love them.
08:26This one will be really yours.
08:28And Greg's.
08:29There's been a good few people passed through here, but there's no one for me.
08:34I wish I had a woman, Jenny.
08:38Someone will come along.
08:40It's not likely.
08:44I think I'll have to go looking.
08:46Ruth will be back soon.
08:47You got on well with her.
08:49Out of my class.
08:50She fancied you.
08:54Why'd you say that?
08:57Don't go, Paul.
08:59Greg needs you here.
09:00Oh, I liked Abby, but I obviously didn't care for the tension between us.
09:07So, it's easy with just the one boss.
09:11You mean you prefer to be your own boss?
09:14Yes, I said to.
09:15Well, these times there seems to be a natural distinction between the leaders and the led.
09:20May I?
09:21Please, sir.
09:22Thanks.
09:26Where'd you meet Pat?
09:27Oh, she'd been here for about two months or so.
09:29Well, she wandered around and about until she eventually arrived here.
09:34She's nice.
09:35Hmm.
09:37Yes.
09:38You know, before the death, her father used to run the Continental Cafe in Worcester.
09:44That's why she's so good with the customers.
09:47Greg.
09:48Why don't you, uh, stay here till tomorrow.
09:53Have a look at that wind pump.
09:55What's wrong with it?
09:56Nothing.
09:58Pumps water from the well to the roof tank.
10:00In fact, I'd like to get a tank for the whole community.
10:04There must be something else we can use it for.
10:05Well, what you could do, you could, uh, hitch up a car dynamo to it and then charge up a car battery.
10:15It would start.
10:17Yes?
10:18Well, you could have a primitive telephone system.
10:20If you run out of line from here to my place or wherever you want, then have a telephone at each end.
10:26I mean, obviously, it wouldn't be high-fire, but at least you'd be able to make out the words.
10:32Telephone.
10:33Hmm.
10:34Tell me, uh, what do you know about the power loss over 50 miles of wire?
10:39Haven't a clue.
10:40You can always read it up.
10:42Hmm.
10:43Yeah.
10:45Besides, how long would it take to run a line between here and your place?
10:50And where'd we get that amount of wire from?
10:52Oh, I suppose we just have to look for it.
10:53Well, the old phone lines are still there.
10:58Yes, but they're not intact.
11:01And they go through towns.
11:03Make sure you won't.
11:04All right.
11:05We loop round the towns.
11:08You know, if we could get the wire, it wouldn't take much more than a week to trace a line.
11:13Who's got a week?
11:16Feudal baron like you.
11:19Well, who's talking about feudal barons?
11:23Feudal baron like you.
11:24You know, Greg, if I trace a line between here and my neighbors, and he traced a line, and so on and so forth,
11:37you know, we could cover the whole country with your dynamo and my windpump.
11:41Yeah, well, when the baby's born, let's talk about it again.
11:49What do you burn in your lanterns?
11:51Oh, mutton fat.
11:53You sort of melt it down and strain it, melt it down again, and strain it again, until it's pure.
12:00You know, that's beautiful wine.
12:04What do you use in yours?
12:08Mutton fat.
12:09Good night.
12:11Good night, Charles.
12:29Mommy!
12:30Mommy!
12:30Mommy!
12:39It's stuck!
12:47I can't move it!
12:53Help!
12:54Mommy!
12:55Don't worry!
12:57I'll go.
12:57Oh, thanks, Paul.
13:02Oh, jeez.
13:03Get a towel or something.
13:05Help!
13:06I'll get the kids.
13:10One and the others.
13:12Is Jenny all right?
13:13Yeah.
13:14Look after her.
13:17Fire!
13:18Fire!
13:19Quick!
13:20Get away from the door.
13:21I'm going to push it in.
13:24Are you clear?
13:29Down the stairs.
13:30Keep your head down.
13:30Fire!
13:36Fire!
13:36Fire!
13:36Fire!
13:37Fire!
13:37Quick!
13:54Windy enough for you, then?
13:56I forget as much windier.
13:57I think that windmill's going to take off.
13:59Don't worry now.
14:00I'll try not to.
14:01There you are.
14:02Pave it in full.
14:03Thanks, Charles.
14:04Have you got your pie?
14:05Yeah.
14:05Glad you see me safely home.
14:07Come and see us sometime.
14:08Oh, yes, we will.
14:10Well, we'll try.
14:11Listen, I'll send one of our fellows off to a couple of places, see if we can find anything
14:15of Ruth.
14:15Yeah, well, if you do get her, would you send us straight away?
14:17Yes, of course.
14:18Bye.
14:19Bye.
14:20Yes, but I'll come back for another one of this.
14:25Bye, Charles.
14:25Bye, Greg.
14:26Take care of you.
14:27Thanks a lot.
14:28Bye.
14:28Bye.
14:37Bye.
14:38Bye.
14:46Bye.
14:48Bye.
14:50Why did you let him go?
14:56He had a baby due.
14:58He had to go.
14:59But you said we had to expand.
15:02It didn't matter who came here again.
15:03You wouldn't let him go.
15:05Didn't you?
15:07Yes.
15:08But you never even asked him to come back and settle here.
15:12No.
15:15Why?
15:17Why didn't you?
15:20Why didn't you?
15:24Not for any reason concerning you.
15:27Greg's his own boss now.
15:29He doesn't want to follow me.
15:36Go on.
15:38Go and feed your pigs.
15:40My other pigs, you mean?
15:45Put some clothes on.
15:46You'll freeze.
15:50I'll be right back.
15:51I'll be right back.
15:51I'll be right back.
15:51I'll be right back.
15:52I'll be right back.
15:52I'll be right back.
15:53I'll be right back.
15:53I'll be right back.
15:54I'll be right back.
15:55I'll be right back.
15:55I'll be right back.
15:55I'll be right back.
15:55I'll be right back.
15:56I'll be right back.
15:56I'll be right back.
15:56I'll be right back.
15:57I don't know.
16:27What's the matter, Arthur?
16:32The house. It's been burned down.
16:35Jenny's all right.
16:57Oh, my gosh.
17:03Oh, my gosh.
17:06What have we been living on?
17:20Carrots and turnips. Raw.
17:23We couldn't get a fire lighted
17:25because the house was too hot to get a burning bit of wood from.
17:30And then the rain came out.
17:32It was raining most of the time.
17:34Yeah, I know.
17:35I know.
17:38We had milk.
17:40From Bessie.
17:41It isn't Bessie. It's Rosie.
17:43Oh, yeah.
17:45Bessie ran off.
17:47Right.
17:48Paul?
17:49Have you looked in there?
18:09Yes.
18:10Donnie and Pete were right beside the straw.
18:11I've no idea, Greg.
18:14It could have been a log from a fire or the boiler chimney.
18:17I don't know.
18:18I can't stay here now.
18:21You're always saying we should have a standby cottage.
18:24Yeah, well, obviously, I didn't say it loud enough.
18:26I look at the cottages down the road.
18:28They're derelict.
18:29The window's broken.
18:31Birds have got in.
18:32Rats.
18:33It's not the weather for clearing them out.
18:37I'm rubbing two sticks together.
18:45Greg?
18:46Yeah?
18:48We haven't told the kids yet what happened to the others.
18:52What have you told them?
18:55The shelter in somewhere else.
18:59Yeah, well, I'll tell them.
19:01Do you need to?
19:01Well, someone's got to.
19:04Sooner or later.
19:10Oh, put your coat on, lovey.
19:12Where are the blankets?
19:13They're not blankets.
19:14They're rugs.
19:15Anyway, I'm keeping warm doing this.
19:19What are you doing, John?
19:21I'm building a wall to keep Jenny warm.
19:23Don't buy it.
19:24Where's Aunt Emma?
19:26Yes.
19:27Where are the others?
19:28You both come close and I'll tell you.
19:30Come on.
19:32Now, the very worst thing that could have happened to us all was a fire in the middle of winter.
19:38And that's exactly what has happened, that very worst thing.
19:41But it's all over now.
19:42And we've all come through it.
19:44That's all of us who are here now.
19:46But the others had that same smoke that you had, and they tried very hard to get out, but they couldn't.
19:55And the smoke put them to sleep.
19:56That's what I thought happened.
20:01I did.
20:03Really.
20:05So, what we're going to do is, we're all going to go on from here.
20:10We're going to have some warm milk from Rosie, and then we're going to go on.
20:13And we're going to go to a farm where a friend of mine lives.
20:16There are lots of people there, plenty of children for you to play with, and Ruth's going to be there too.
20:20It's going to be all right, Jenny.
20:25Promise.
20:28Don't forget the rugs.
20:31You all right?
20:31You all right?
20:32We can't, right?
20:33Take that in, we do.
20:35That's it.
20:36I've got that old car seat in for you.
20:38All right.
20:39Okay, let's get off.
20:50All right, aren't you come, you two?
21:17Come on, let's have you.
21:18Come on, then, John.
21:20What is this place?
21:21It's a barn.
21:22Who lives here?
21:24Nobody lives in a barn, silly.
21:25It's just full of hate.
21:27It's nice and dry, so you two undo a couple of bales and make yourself some nice dry beds.
21:31Yep.
21:33And out you come.
21:34Don't you keep this five-star hotel waiting?
21:38Oh, lovely.
21:43I'm all right.
21:44Of course you are.
21:46Wrap this round you.
21:47Now, what we want is a good pot.
21:51Still, if Rosie's winning.
21:54Are you willing, old girl?
21:56Honestly, I don't think she is.
21:58Oh, my feet.
22:00What about her?
22:01She's got four of them.
22:02Hey, look at me.
22:03Come up here, Johnny.
22:04Come on, Arthur.
22:05Let's have some milk.
22:07I'll do that.
22:08There are rats here.
22:12Lots of rats.
22:14Rats, bats, cats.
22:15It doesn't matter.
22:16Who's going to grind some corn?
22:18Going to have some corn porridge.
22:20And carrots.
22:21Yes, and carrots.
22:34And carrots.
22:36Sorry. I didn't want to wake you.
22:59That's probably field mice or rats.
23:02Hoping to get something to eat from us.
23:05They're going to be disappointed.
23:10You slept?
23:12No, not much.
23:16Oh.
23:18You haven't started?
23:21No.
23:25Talk to me, Greg.
23:27Tell me about Charles.
23:29Well, he lives in a place called White Cross.
23:39There are ten adults and five children there.
23:42And they all live in separate houses.
23:45And when I was there, we talked about the chance of setting up a telephone system to link up different communities.
23:51And there's a nice woman there called Pat.
23:55I suppose it's short for Petronella or something.
24:00I suppose she could just be called Pat.
24:02What about the babies?
24:04The two babies?
24:06No, there was just the one baby.
24:08But I didn't see it.
24:09What's wrong with it?
24:13There's nothing wrong with it.
24:15I just didn't see it.
24:16Well, what about the other one?
24:17There was supposed to be two.
24:19No, no.
24:21No, I think there was just one.
24:24Anyway, you try and get some sleep.
24:28How's Ruth?
24:30Fine.
24:30Fine.
24:30Fine.
24:31He's kicking.
24:38Or she.
24:39I'm absolutely certain it's a boy.
24:41I'm sorry.
25:01Pack it here, Arthur.
25:03Lay down and get some kip.
25:04I can't.
25:05I'm too tired.
25:07Thinking about the fire?
25:08Of course.
25:09I'm going to have plenty of time to think of that.
25:12One blessing.
25:13I shan't have as long as you.
25:15What do you mean?
25:17You're young.
25:18Come off it, Arthur.
25:21What's happened is terrible.
25:23Your lousy self-pity isn't going to help any, is it?
25:26We're all in the same boat.
25:28I know, Paul.
25:29I know.
25:30But all our friends.
25:33Charmian.
25:34Burned to death.
25:36I've been pretty resilient during my career.
25:39I've survived the death.
25:41I've even adapted to this ghastly way of life.
25:45With this last blow, I must be getting old.
25:49I can't take it.
25:49Come on, Arthur.
26:03It's a funny thing, isn't it?
26:08You don't really want to live.
26:10And yet you still crave warmth and shelter.
26:13Why are you here, Hubert?
26:31No reason.
26:32Just seeing.
26:33Seeing what?
26:34Pigs.
26:35Seeing pigs.
26:36Those are pigs.
26:37Oh.
26:38You sure they're not sheep?
26:40Yeah.
26:41Because one of my pigs is missing.
26:43And I think it's among your sheep.
26:44It's not among my sheep.
26:45Have you killed him?
26:47You stole one of my pigs and now you've killed him.
26:49Did not steal one of your pigs.
26:51You took one of my pigs.
26:54I did not take one of your pigs.
26:55Where is he?
26:57You can't steal your own, can you?
26:59The pigs are mine.
27:00I fed them and I reared them.
27:02The sheep are mine.
27:03Someone took one of my sheep yesterday.
27:06You weren't here yesterday.
27:07Oh, I see.
27:08I wasn't here yesterday, so it was fine to take one of my sheep.
27:11But the sheep are everybody's.
27:13That's what I say.
27:14See, the pigs are everybody's.
27:15So it was right for me to take what was my own.
27:17There are hundreds of sheep and there are only seven pigs.
27:20Six now.
27:21And there's far too many rams.
27:24You killed one of my rams.
27:26I saw half the carcass.
27:28Charles killed the ram.
27:29Oh, Charles killed the ram.
27:31Your Charles is woman, so I took one of your pigs.
27:33But there's no salt left now and it's going to go rotten just...
27:36What's going on here?
27:37Listen, you sent me 20 miles yesterday, 20 miles back.
27:41And while I was gone, you killed one of my sheep.
27:44A ram, yes.
27:45And I hope you're going to help us eat it.
27:46I hope so, too.
27:47So I killed one of my pigs.
27:50One of my pigs.
27:52Yes, I killed it.
27:52Now, wait, wait, wait a minute.
27:54There is no division of property here.
27:56Only division of labor.
27:57We each do what we can do best.
28:00I'm sorry you killed a pig because we're out of salt.
28:03Why is there no salt?
28:04Your job to get salt.
28:05Because I can't afford to spend a week in January by the sea boiling seawater.
28:12Boiling the sea?
28:13Me, right?
28:15You, but you've only been here about a month.
28:17Now, we need to talk more.
28:19We do.
28:20And because you all want these win, I'm going to go and put one of my pigs on the roast first.
28:29I've got to learn to live together.
28:30Hey!
28:32It's Greg!
28:34Hello.
28:35You came back.
28:37Who else is here?
28:38Hi.
28:39We've been burnt out, Charles.
28:41Can you help us?
28:43A pet!
28:45I'm going to get some eggs and some bread and some butter.
28:47You'll find some logs in the back there.
28:49If you go into the boiler, you'll find some hot coals.
28:51Get a shovel full of them for us.
28:51I'll show you where.
28:52Okay.
28:59There.
29:00Come on.
29:01Just let yourself go, love.
29:06Going to be all right.
29:07There you are.
29:15Here we are.
29:17We're the last remnants of civilization.
29:19When these rocks will have to make do with other comforts.
29:24Well, I'm sorry we couldn't prepare the place for you.
29:27It's a bit dusty.
29:28The dump will go as soon as you like the fire.
29:31It's not very well designed.
29:33I don't know if you used to live here.
29:33Some commune people, I think.
29:35She needs some sleep.
29:36All right.
29:47Go on.
29:48Let's get us warm.
29:50Got it?
29:51Okay.
30:00Do you think you should bather down?
30:02No.
30:02I think you should let her sleep for a while.
30:04Thanks for the wood.
30:07I'll chop some more for you.
30:08Oh, you're welcome.
30:09Here's my twigs.
30:10They're too thick.
30:12They're not.
30:13No, I mean thin.
30:15No light.
30:16No light.
30:16No.
30:18Oh, you wait for your, what's his name, Arthur.
30:20You'll bring one.
30:21Oh, this is Hubert.
30:23Hubert, this is Greg.
30:24I'll give it.
30:25I do.
30:25Paul over there.
30:26And that's John.
30:28And that's Lizzie.
30:29Hello.
30:30Hello.
30:30Hello.
30:30I came to say, I hear you had bad luck.
30:34Well, we'll share some of this.
30:35We'll get some of my wine and some of Pet's honey cake.
30:38Honey cake.
30:39Make way, make way.
30:41I hope it'll catch.
30:43I see you use charcoal.
30:45For the stove, yes.
30:47Well, didn't you?
30:48No.
30:49Oh, it's hotter and it's cleaner.
30:50Do you make bread on a wood fire?
30:51Yes.
30:52What is charcoal?
30:54Charcoal?
30:55Well, it's a long story and an old one.
30:57Once upon a time, there used to live an old charcoal burner in a house in the middle of the forest.
31:02And what he did was, he built the wood into stacks, and he set fire to it, and then he covered it all over with turf to keep the air out.
31:11We must have a go at that.
31:12Look, it's caught.
31:13It's going.
31:15Let's have a welcome drink, then.
31:16Thanks.
31:17We drink wine.
31:19I bet you do.
31:20There you are, then.
31:21There's one for you.
31:22There's one for you, Lizzie.
31:23You want one, Paul?
31:26Oh, you've been taught your manners, I see.
31:29Well, welcome to White Cross.
31:31With much gratitude, old boy, and to you, Pet.
31:33Many thanks.
31:35Well, the set-up here is we each live our own lives.
31:41I mean, Hubert looks after the sheep, and the others help with the main crop, the wheat, the oats, the hay.
31:47Pet and Peggy run the dairy, the milk, the butter, the cheese.
31:50We have a carpenter called Jack, and Pet has her pigs, and her chickens, and her ducks.
31:54Oh, we all have chickens.
31:56And I do all the odd jobs.
31:57And the land, and the building, and the plans.
31:59Who makes a charcoal?
32:00Oh, I do.
32:01Greg?
32:03Excuse me.
32:06Where is everyone?
32:08They're all in next door.
32:10Greg?
32:10Mm-hmm?
32:11Where's Ruth?
32:13I haven't had time to ask you.
32:15How are you?
32:17Well, would you like a wash down?
32:19I could put some water on to eat.
32:21There's a lovely fire going next door.
32:23Yes.
32:24I guess the wash would be nice.
32:25Did you bring a kettle with you?
32:27No, I'm afraid we didn't.
32:28It's all right.
32:29I'll find one.
32:30Um, where's Ruth?
32:32Who?
32:33Oh, yes.
32:35Hubert?
32:38Hubert, this is Jenny.
32:40She's the one who's expecting the baby.
32:42I don't see that.
32:43I do.
32:44Hubert went 15 miles yesterday.
32:45I was sent 20 miles there, 20 miles back.
32:48Two days sent for a doctor who used to live here once.
32:50The day before yesterday.
32:51Well, this doctor was sent to...
32:53Yeah, but she was a medical student.
32:54Well, she was.
32:54She was sent to St. Mary's to see about Brogdon Lag.
32:57And then she left there to go somewhere else to see about a baby.
33:01I mean, she left somewhere else to see about somebody's toothache.
33:04She ain't been back since.
33:06But no.
33:07If it's babies...
33:08Yes, all right.
33:09Thank you very much, Hubert.
33:09That's very kind of you.
33:11Thanks.
33:13I'll put the water on for you.
33:17Oh, Craig.
33:18It'll be all right.
33:27We don't have a spare kettle, do we?
33:31All right.
33:32I'll give them this one.
33:34I'll find them a kettle.
33:36Is the pump working?
33:38There's enough in the tank.
33:42Well, you got him, didn't you?
33:46We got him.
33:47And he's not going to go again.
33:52Unless he loses the baby.
33:58Oh, my love.

44:01well ask charles he said he wants you because you're an engineer he said so yes well the
44:06engineering age has been and gone now he's been pouring out his superiority over me and everything

44:17and i'm getting out oh don't go greg we're gonna have such a lovely time here together
44:26all of us i mean all of us

45:37well ruth's a lot more sure of herself she's taking a man's appendix out she gave him a couple
45:47of pethidine tablets to kill the pain and just opened him up
45:49did he survive yes very well she said and she's done a breech birth
45:53she couldn't wait to get back to jenny you're right she was on her way back to st mary's
45:56come on have some of this jenny's doing fine baby's the right way up in a good position
46:03she's three fingers dilated if you know what that means
46:06a bit few hours yet
46:09charles i don't suppose you've got any soap have you
46:12no i'm afraid not
46:12i'll have to use my precious stock then
46:14i'll have to get your technology going soon charles
46:18what technology is that
46:20last one was four minutes
46:21then what's the technology charles
46:24oh well
46:25with the 21 people we have
46:28all we can do at the moment is grub out a living from the soil
46:30and repair and maintain our clothes and our shelters
46:33i mean we
46:34we all have specialities some useful some not
46:37but you see the community is dependent on one person
46:40to do one specific job
46:41i mean ruth is a good example
46:42she hasn't got the time to teach anyone
46:45to pass her knowledge on
46:46well i think
46:48that more people
46:49would give us that time
46:51time to send someone to the seashore
46:53bring back salt
46:54time to make your telephone system great
46:56time to make
46:59lime
47:00not just for skins but for cement
47:03and we could even make soap
47:05we could maintain a library
47:06and eventually the people would come
47:09some to trade some to settle
47:10and before long we'd have a town
47:12and eventually
47:13a kind of civilization
47:15go and rub her back
47:19she'll tell you
47:21is there any more
47:25oh yes love
47:26there's my pig being roasted
47:27but i'll get you something else for the time being
47:29i think greg will stay now
47:38i don't know i hope so
47:40you offered him enough
47:41i think i'm bribing him
47:43food a house
47:45the last of the petrol
47:46and the tinderbox
47:48those aren't bribes
47:49those are the instruments of survival
47:51he's gonna be all right
47:56he's gonna be all right
47:56so
