RE--Narrator--Efficiency

One comment....The Persons of the Play on pages xv and xvi were omitted. Other than that, the reading was very nicely done!

Many thanks,

Philip

Foon wrote: July 23rd, 2018, 3:08 pmWell, my first instinct (i.e. what I did before I stopped and thought about it) was to say two-four-one.
I don't have any insight at all, but I am wondering if the author maybe used this number specifically to make a pun on the word "two for one", meaning the scientist now found a way to provide the emperor with a double use of manpower. First the normal human soldiers, and then, when they are crippled and half-dead, they get a second life as robot-slaves in the war. "Two uses for One Person" - 2 4 1. This pun would get lost if you said "two forty-one" or "two hundred and forty-one"

But maybe I'm interpreting too much into it.... :mrgreen:

Sonia
Oooooh. That's an interesting interpretation! I hadn't thought of this at all.
Well, regardless of whether it's true or not, I now definitely need to stick with two-four-one! :D
Kitty:

I think your interpretation is right on target. Although I would point out that in the colloquy between the "mad" scientist and the Emperor, the scientist calls him two-forty-one--might be subliminal--but your interpretation is more likely. Bravo :clap: :clap: :clap:

Many thanks,

Philip

:( oh he did ? Well then I think the author did not think of my interpretation. Never mind.

In any case, I checked your 241 and it's PL ok and the voice effect is great. :thumbs:

I will update the MW with everything new

Foon:

Your corrections to the narrator were perfect! The narrator for Efficiency is PL-OK!
Thanks also for your comments about Brainard.

Kitty--thank you for your PL of 241. (Maybe the coincidence was unintentional--or even subliminal...but it still works!)

Can I take the Waiter and the Emperor?

One more thing -- I'm not sure if the Hall Boy has any lines. I looked through the text, thinking I might take that one too, but couldn't find any dialogue. Am I missing anything?

Well. I was so convinced he had a few "yes sir" lines. But no, I can't find any either.. :oops:

Reminds me of a play I saw once, set in the distant future, called "T 4 2". Took me a while to realize it was a pun on "Tea for two".
