George Carter:
The men have asked me to come and talk to you.
Maj. William Rogers:
Yes?
George Carter:
It's about the heating,it's been very cold these past few nights,we wondered if.
Maj. William Rogers:
Rogers interrupts Carter"For reasons of economy the heating is turned off at twenty hundred hours.You should all be in bed by then after all there's no point in staying up you cant see anything".
George Carter:
The beds are cold there aren't enough blankets
Maj. William Rogers:
I am trying to run this place as efficiently and economically as I can,I am afraid the current budget does not include the cost of new blankets.
George Carter:
Do you know anything about blind people?
Maj. William Rogers:
No I can't say I do till I took over this job,but I was in the army over twenty years and I learned to handle all kinds of men there.
George Carter:
With all due respect sir we are not soldiers,blind people are not like people with sight,we have lost one sense but the loss of that sense only tends to sharpen the others.Do you know what that means?we feel things more acutely if food tastes bad it tastes worse to us,if a room is dirty we feel every speck,if an insect scurries across the floor we hear it,and if it's cold we feel the cold more.Why don't you sell that painting and buy us fuel or extra blankets?
Maj. William Rogers:
I was not aware that the administration of expenditure for this establishment had been handed to you Mister.Carter!Good morning!
