There's one of them chimney smoke factory Yes, they are factories aren't they I? But factories here stood there for ten generations, but on an island in the middle of Down here. It's all a matter of money. What tell me 330 years ago Pierre Cordet came to this island and built him up, but But why here? I'm telling you I've been telling you all along a matter of money. You know what money is Well, it's been the day and the night and the sun and the moon of your family for as long as it's been one of you Money I hear was the making of it and the horror of it. But why let me tell you you wanted to know let me tell you quick profits weren't big enough Pierre Cordet thought themselves the trouble was with the men in the factories He decided they wanted too much all to the men at the machines with the blame You're trying to place where only he'd be the boss for the Beno investigators and boards of arbitration And he'd tell them in what to do and they do it and up with the profits and out of the headaches in an island I a private island. That was the answer and this was it. Hi it Beyond the jurisdiction of any man, but one is the name of car day So here we move these factories machine after machine and when everything was set up He sent out to the places where men walk the streets looking for work and he said listen to me your single ones You're hungry. So listen to me. I have a place where there's work for you easy work Work with the machines you sit all day. You don't have to think the machines think for you Just sit all day and do the same thing over and over and over. I'll pay you well And I'll pay you regularly a higher life job if you do what I say all your life and And then came here. Hi. Why not? Five hundred big ones all set for life jobs and the factories appear for a day Came here three hundred thirty years ago But why is the smoke coming out of the factories now? Five hundred of them and they sat down at the machines and started working in Pierre Cordray bought women form to meet with and Mike in was with them and the machine started turning The factories they're still working. Why listen? You wanted me to tell you so listen listen to the rest Three hundred thirty years ago and each had his own bit of work at the machines one depressive ever here and the other to turn the screws here Same work out after our day after day The months went by and the profits kept on coming in but some of them began to get tired of it tired of the machines Prove they were from the start Death or they picked them that way still they got tired. They wanted to get back to the changing life of the rest of the world Give us some day. They said but give us change They said that I but they didn't get what they wanted. Then why didn't they go away? Where to drown in the sea? Some did then why didn't they rebel? I and some did that and died so it's fine died I Sated as a 500 men who came here at the end of two years half of them had sat in the harbor It isn't possible. I it's always impossible and I was in the middle of nowhere with spinning machines and men at them none of it's possible But here it is Three hundred and thirty years old and still the same as it was tell me you mean in those factories are What what watch? People marching Who are they get the innovation of them here Cardade brought and kept here Where they walk heads down on home men like My grandfather take me to one. Thank you to it. Yes.

As soon as I lock the doors, I'll run back all the way. Why? I want to see your face. Why? I wanted to see your face after the whistle blows. Why? I wanted to see your face after the whistle blows. Why? I wanted to see your face after the whistle blows. Whistle? I hit a blow just as always. But I told you that-- And I did. A lot of factories shook the big doors and threw the bolts, but the whistles at the powerhouse and some of them are always there. I hit a whistle a blow and then marched to work. But they won't get in. Hi. Here they come. You'll start me to the mainland very early tomorrow, Williams. I know it. I know it. But it's got to be done. Too long away. You've got to sail. Tonight I'm putting an end to their marching. Tomorrow. What's that? Williams, don't you hear? Hi. Hi, here. It's from the factory. Hi. As if they were-- as if they were breaking down the door. Hi. Yes, that's what they're doing. Williams don't stand there. Go stop them. Turn the factory close. We'll have a turn, it's ended. No telling yourself they've broken in, gone back to work. People. People stop working and listen to me. Stop working, I tell you. I've got to talk to you. I've got to tell you important things. A little while ago you walked down the door. But that was because you didn't understand what I was trying to do. And now I want to tell you. So listen to me. My name is Cor Day. And this factory and an island and everything on it is mine here. And I want to close this factory because I want to help you. It helps you to begin to live like human beings. Living means books to be read. Full of new excitement and understanding. Wonderful music to be played and listened to. The enjoyment of your homes and conversation and friendship. Now you're not listening to me. Not as new. Please listen. I want to come away from your mission. I want to stop them. I want to help you. Listen to me, please. Don't listen to me. Don't listen to me. Don't listen to me. All right then. You'll listen to this. I'm going to burn the factory down. You hear me? If that's the only way to stop you, I'm going to burn it down. Turn it. Turn it. Turn it. Turn it. Turn it. Turn it. Turn it. It's a good seed to smarten for seren. Have you ever seen a board? I. If there's only some way to communicate for me, I'm without going there. There's none. What kind of it? Almost seven. And we go in the tide changes? I. Wind's freshening. Listen, I'm a wizard. You hear? I hear. What? What do you think? It's them. For two days. Never even going home. If I just say you'd burn it, then they're afraid. Afraid I'd burn the cage until they stay there watching. Watching. One shift works near the watches. That's how it is. But not their cage alone this car day. What do you mean? I mean, it's yours. What? One boat on the island. This. And then a couple minutes more it won't be here. What are you talking about? You and I are going. That's where you haven't got it straight in this car day. It's going yes, but only me. I wanted to ask you this for days now. Why are you always trying to fight me? Now I've done it. Turning me back to the tide. Hmm? But go. Yes, I've scared you now, haven't I? Oh, say it. Say it. Say it. So you don't have to. It's in your eyes. Just a thought of being left here with them year after year. Nothing but them. It's enough to turn the inside of you. What do you think I sent for you? I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'll tell you quick. And then I'm off to see. I sent for you because I'm a man born different from all the rest of the year. There were three times workers serving some new car days. For servant I was. But in the born and of me a piece I hate gotten my heart and it kept growing through the years. I mean, it's more than I am. I hate for a name and a family name and those that have it car day. Well, you're the last of them. And here you stay with the sound of them. The sound of the factory grinding in your ears until you're as old as I am. And I hate the Pierre Cartier and the rest of his kindness as old as mine is. This is your inheritance. An island in the factory. And a thousand perfect workmen who never want anything for themselves except the bit of food they grow. Who sit at your machines until they rot and die. The perfect inheritance for a car day. I'll leave it all for you until you rot and die. William. William, come back. You don't understand these people. I want to. William. You cry. Me. Joe. Joe. Me. Dad. Dad. When you were so close. Me no work. Why? Me, why? Show you. Lower. How am I doing? You cry. No. No, I'm not crying. There isn't time. I'd have so much to tell you. Your first and then the other. One by one. No. Talk. First I want to tell you. Freedom. Say it. Freedom. Three. Because three hundred years ago my people and your people gave it up. My people wanted profits, but they lost their freedom to the machinery they set up to give them those profits. Your people wanted the security of a bear existence and so too gave up their rights to the men of the machinery of profit. But now we've got to win that freedom back again for all of us. For me. Son. Come. You are both of them. I have so much to try and tell them. Things that I understand now. The freedom, the essence of the good life for all men. And the security without freedom is a sham. It turns men into regiments of less than men. I have so much to tell them. So much to tell them. It is later than you think. When you need meal time inspiration it's worth shopping king supers.
