Jack: So you sell the electricity and then rent all the things that need electricity? Salesman: More or less. Jack: We don't need any of these things. Salesman: Well, they're conveniences. Their use gives you time to do other things. Jack: What other things? Salesman: Well, other chores. Jack: You'll invent machines to do those, and then what do we do? Salesman: Go on a picnic. Go for a swim. Go to the cinema! You can enjoy a more leisurely life.
