CB "A white line." 5. Question "So like, a white barrier..." CB "No a white line. Drawn on the ground." 6. Question: "And who's piloting these machines?" CB "I was thinking: random members of the public." 7. The entire group look shocked, stunned 8. From the group "Carl are you OK?" CB "No listen it's FINE" 9. "You know we're worried about you, don't you?" CB "No really it'll work-" 10. CB "Once hundreds of millions of people have died and the world's started ending because of the fumes it'll all be normal." 11.
