Helena
Oh, stop.
Nana
Here's something printed in big letters: "Lat-est news. At Havre the first org-an-iz-ation of Rob-ots has been e-stab-lished. Rob-ot work-men, cab-le and rail-way off-ic-ials, sail-ors and sold-iers have iss-ued a man-i-fest-o to all Rob-ots through-out the world." I don't understand that. That's got no sense. Oh, good gracious, another murder!
Helena
Take those papers away, Nana!
Nana
Wait a bit. Here's something in still bigger type. "Stat-ist-ics of pop-ul-at-ion." What’s that?
Helena
Let me see. [Reads]: "During the past week there has again not been a single birth recorded."
Nana
What's the meaning of that?
