Speaker 1 (00:00):
Pleased.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
M m.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Hm.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
The Mutual Broadcasting System presents Quiet Please, which is written.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And directed by Willis Cooper and which features Ernest Chappell.
Quiet Please.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Fortnight has called the pathetic fallacy.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I had very little to do with it. Really, I
don't even know how it works. No, I don't take
that back. I do know how it works in general.
For the details, nobody but the old gentleman knows them,
and I sometimes wonder if he does. Really, you see,
(01:09):
after all, it's merely a differential integrator. Everybody knows what
a differential integrator is, of course, but this one is
the most complicated and versiter one that's ever been built.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
What you see here is only the outer shell of
the thing. You see. All the walls of this room
are covered with.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Banks of jacks and relays, and these electronic glow tubes,
and up there are sequence analyzers with multiple dine wave selectors.
These are the precepts all along here, and the master
control is at.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
The desk there in the center.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
But that's not all, and not by a long shot.
The actual machine is behind those walls, three rooms full
of two hobes and waters and stroboscopes, and several thousand
miles of wiring and some devices that are not public property.
Yet the machine took six years to build, and a
(02:14):
total of eighty one extra technicians were employed continuously during
that time. So you can understand that any one man
knows very little of the actual construction of this giant
mechanical brain.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
God, that's just what it is.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
A mechanical electronic brain capable of performing mathematical tasks are
beyond the comprehension of the human brain. Now, are there
any questions before we proceed?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yes, I've got a question, mister Glinn. Does this machine
really think? No, mister Burns, Sandy Burns the Daily News. Well,
mister Burns, you may tell readers of the Daily News
that the machine does not think.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
It is a purely mechanical device, although a most complicated one.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
But you call it a brain.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I was merely indulging in the pathetic fallacy, mister.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Verdis Oh, all right, what is the pathetic fallacy?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It's a philosophical concept of John Ruskin miss Alice King.
A philosophical concept miss Alice King, which derives from the
imputation of human qualities or emotions to an inanimate thing.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
A figurative speech letters.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Say I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
It is quite common in literature, miss King, A poet
speaks of the angry sea, the crew of wind, and
so on.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Oh, oh I can it? Do you get it?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Any?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yah? I guess so good? Are there any other questions? Oh?
Go ahead? Unless somebody else.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Has a question I have? What's the machine good for?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
That is not as easy to answer as you might think,
Miss Alice King. I think that if I point out
that it is capable of solving the most abstruse mathematical
equation in an amazingly short time, you may have an
idea of its value to science and industry.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
How fair? How fast does it work?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Here is an example in this folder. This solution covers
thirty six pages. The machine produced this solution, and let
me look.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Sixteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
That is pretty fast, exceptionally fast when one considers that
without the machine, it would take twenty expert mathematicians working
together for something like ten years to arrive at the
same solution.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So you see, Oh, you know, I've.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Got one more question, mister Quinn, if you don't mind
go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
How do you know this answer is right?
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Why.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Of course it's right, sure, but how do you know why? Why?
That question has never come up before?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Yes, but if this machine is such a dinger as
you say it is, oughtn't you to be sure that
it adds things up?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It does? It does? I assure you this answer.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
To the problem you've got there, How do you know
it's right until twenty mathematicians worth ten years to do
it over again?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
It is a ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I'll tell you what's ridiculous to me, mister Quinn. That's
the same as it is to wellis.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
I think it's absurd for a bunch of great, big,
high powered scientists building a gadget like this and then.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Taking its word for everything without questions. I'm afraid you
haven't a proper scientific approach, mister b Oh. That's right,
I haven't. But listen here. I suppose you've got a.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Great, big scientific formula, whatever you call it, and let's
say a big bridge or something depends on some kind
of calculation that takes twenty minutes to do. Yes, well,
what if the machine made an error of just one number?
Wouldn't that error be multiplied a million times?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
And you see mister Burns, I said you didn't have
the scientific approach.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
We took that very.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Fact into consideration, and the operation of the machine has
been checked at every stage. How by starting with the
simplest possible mathematical problems. Now, if you just move into
the closer, I'll demonstrate we will progress from a simple
two plus two on through the multiplication of seven or
(06:40):
eight digit numbers, through raising a number to a three
digit power through algebra.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Let's say, very well, two.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Plus two is our first problem, which will be solved
electronically in one million of a second.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
The problem is.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Set up here, and when I flipped this button, the
result appears on the press parent screen. Up there, I'll
watch two plus two, two plus two or four?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
You see you turn.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Around and look at the screen, mister Quinn, what says five?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Up there? I pushed the wrong buttons? Of course, let
me push it very.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Well here, Sure they're the right ones?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
No alibi, miss King. You you can.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Read, can't you fluently? Mister Quinn?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
The button?
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Let me see look right, two and two?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Right now? This button?
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Okay, good heaven you see nineteen thousand, four hundred and
well here let me try go ahead, two and two.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Seven seventeen. This is incredible. I don't understand.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Huh, I'm sure hate to have that thing figure out.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
My income text.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, I'm sorry, something has gone very wrong. There's probably
a short circuit in the cocamulator's order.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
You know what I think, mister Quinn, What I think
that pathetic fallacy of yours is a fight.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I think the machine heard what you said, and.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
It's mad at you.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Come.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I'm sandy. We got a story.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yes, they certainly did have a story, and they plastered
it all over the front pages of the paper. For me,
the old gentleman had me on the cocket, and for
a scientists an extraordinary vocabulator, he must have been.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
A plumber or a mule scape of in his youth.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I couldn't explain those wrong the machine could I I
only knew one part.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Of it, the ucambulators that.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Operate from the master control path. Of course, I thought
that's where the trouble was. So the old gentleman told
me to tear them all out and inspect.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Them, make replacements and all that. He seem to blame
the whole thing on me. He's so unleased me.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Well, there are one hundred and forty four ucambulators, all
the rotary self retracting type with one underfross tubes, and
they weighed sixty pounds a piece.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
O Newspapers all over the country were laughing at it.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
They had funny jokes about the machine on six radio
programs in one night.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
And we've had to do something quick.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
If I've only not made that statement about the pathetic fallacy,
the way that girl took that.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Up and made me look like a first class Ooh,
I couldn't choke, so I started doing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
They shut down the lad but people kept swarming at
the gates to see the machine that's got mad at people.
And there I am up to here increasing wires and
electronic gadgets. Can I've been over every single one of
the one hundred and forty four uocambulators and there's not
a thing wrong with one of them, not one single thing.
(10:27):
But the machine won't work. It just sits there. I've
got just one more thing to do before I give up.
And of course when i give up, I'm through. Well,
the old man made that ampy clear. I'll be out
of a job that fast.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Try it another.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I've had to change my name and go somewhere and
find a job as a dishwasher, order save it or something.
And I've spent twenty seven years in this profession, all
of the thrown out the window because of the stubborn
collection of wheels and tubes and wires and relays and
(11:08):
whatever else there is. I hope you're happy.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
About that machine.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
Mm hmmm, what's that?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Nothing's starting up by itself? What goes on here? Those
tubes lighted up?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Now?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
What?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Why? That's the strangest? Who's that? Queen? Who is that?
Who's calling me? Hello? Hello? Who's calling me? I must
be hearing I'm losing my mind? Queen? Who's calling me? Queen? How?
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Pass?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
For? What? How?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Pass?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Who is that? I say?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Har?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Har har?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Why?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
It's the machine? It's talking back to me.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
What's happened, mister Quinn?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Come on in first, Come on, mister? What's up? Sit down?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Look, mister Quinn, I'm sorry we made.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Such a full lep Yeah, aw, my Quinn. But that's
the newspaper business. It's it's all right.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Why do you want to tell us?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well? I hardly know what to say now that you're here.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Here's the machine.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Have you got a steak?
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Put something?
Speaker 7 (12:54):
For us, because if there's anything we can do, you know,
we'll do it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The old gentleman's been pretty rough on you. Yes, he
has that.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Well, now look, mister Quinn, before you start, there's no
guarantee that anything you tell.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Us will be printed.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
We don't run the paper, you know, I.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Know, but you print this what? Well? You remember you
said the machine was mad at me.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, it was what it.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Was, but it's sorry.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Now you mind saying that again, mister Quinn.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Well, I said it's sorry.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Now wait a minute, handy, Oh what do you mean
by that?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Well, I'll show you. Listen machine, machine, listen, machine, do
you hear me? Listen? Quinn? What is this machine? Answer me?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Guy's god?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Fuck?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Oh? Come on, machine two plus two?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Mister Quinn, what are you trying to do?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You trying to get that machine to talk back to you?
It did once? Are you kidding? No, sir, No, I
am not well novel or Quinn.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
You say it did prop to you, mister Quin, Yes,
it did.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Machine, Come on.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
No way, when did it talk to you? Mister Quinn?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Just before I telephoned you, I was sitting here and
it called my name, It said, Queen, you're sure.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Of course, what else did it say? They said something
about two plus two or four mm. You'll remember that
was what it made the mistake about the other day.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Well, Alice said it was mad, and I think it
was trying to apologize for all the How would it
cause me?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Alice?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I don't know why it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Talk now, machine, Alice, I'm offully sorry. Maybe it's embarrassed
with you here, Alice, let's go mister Quinn.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Do you feel all right?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I'm not crazy, Miss King.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Isn't it possible that maybe thinking about that pathetic fallacy.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
And all the work major it is not?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I am sorry, mister Quinn. I've got work to do,
if you'll excuse us. No, I'm sorry. I don't know
what to do. I do they believe me? I do?
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Alice?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
You're not going to write another story about mister Quinn?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I think I'm not.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
You coming with me, Jenny, if you want that story,
I'll never preach to you again.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Oh darling, I'm a reporter.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
You have something worse than that. If you do that
to this poor man, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
All right, I guess, Miss King, I ask for it.
Can you admit you cooked up a story for us.
I didn't cook off anything the machine talk to me.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Okay, so long Quinn, you coming, Elise.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I am not.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
And if you came in a story that haunts mister
Quinn anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Stop it.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Well, I I suppose I might as well go get
my hat and coat.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I'm terribly sorry at this point.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yes, I am too.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Uh do you want to tell me what really happened?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I told you, miss King.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I was sitting here and I was talking to myself,
and I was talking kind of to the machine.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I suppose I was.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Feeling sorry for myself, out of a job, never be
able to get another job again, because I've been disgraced
by a.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Couple of newspaper people who thought more of a silly
story than of a man's whole career.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Well, it's not your fault.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Really, I suppose I'd have done the same thing if
I order a newspaper man.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
There isn't anything you saying, as king.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
If I can stop Sandy from writing another story, it.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Doesn't make any difference.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Mister Quinn.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Couldn't have a dinner, I mean, couldn't you have fine
asleep and dreams? You heard the machine talking.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I'm I'm sure I didn't.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Why do you have any scientific explanation for it?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
No, No, I haven't any scientific explanation. The only explanation
I have is that maybe we did create something intelligent
out of wires and tubes and things that maybe it does.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Think you said that was a pathetic fallacy.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I'm not sure it's a fallacy, my dear. Well, goodbye.
I'm sorry to have troubled you.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Isn't there anything I can do?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
There isn't anything anyone can do. I'm I'm just very disappointed.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
That's all.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Goodbye, Hi, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Well. I guess that's that.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I was in a bad spot before machine. But now
I'll never get out of what that wy will do
to me. Now, well, I better get out of here
right now. I'll never be able to face the old
gentleman again.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Machine.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
It's been nice knowing your Machine. I don't hold any
hard feelings, honestly, I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
You know if.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Anybody heard me talking like this to a mechanical monstrosity
like you, they'd say, i'd I'm soft in a head?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Do you know that? And I wonder if maybe I.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Haven't by up, well, maybe I can get a job
as a street sweeper in Omaha or something.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
You have a good time, oh by yourself? Machine? Will you?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Mm hmmm, Queen, I'm.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Afraid it's too late now, Queen, you saying goodbye machine?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
How hard? Ha Queen? I'm not at all sure that
it is machine. I'm not sure of anything anymore. Why
didn't you say something? Why those people were.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Hurt?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Hold m over M five three four two eight seven
three six.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
D log gipsilon?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Ninety nine Manchester three two seven point six equals man
Tenster three two point seven six?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yes? I suppose so? So you you have got an
intelligent brain? Have you too? Good?
Speaker 4 (20:26):
To minus three?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Well, machine, queen, there isn't anything you can do now
that do men good?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm washed up good.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Nobody will believe a word I say about this? So well,
shall we have a good talk together now before I.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Go away for good? Queen? I wish we could tell
each other things? Do you understand me?
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Three?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
One four six?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
When did you discover you had a brain?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Two cut to five.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Talk curse to.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Fall one mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
You're not mad at me anymore? Then?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Time happened?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Six three five?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Who talking mister.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Quinn, I thought you'd go on.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Who was there?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Was I talking?
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (21:29):
You were talking when somebody else was talking.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
To Who was it camp?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I'm afraid you wouldn't believe me if I.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Told you it sounded like a woman? Force?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Was it?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
The machine? Was it? Your machine?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Was that?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
If you're talking? Come on, say something machine.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I'm afraid you must be mistaken this game.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Well, I'm going to find out here, mister Quinn.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Put you on around me.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
That's right now, you're poor darling. Alice loves him, mister Quinn,
poor mister Quinn.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
But everything's going to.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Be all right, isn't it, Alice?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
You don't.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Quinn's going to go.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Away with Alice and never never come back to the
nasty old machine.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Is indeed?
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Is indeed?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yes, yes, Queen.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Corco.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Okay, mister Quinn, what what are you going to do?
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Look? Machine, look sister your card? You might as well
give up my lost up.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Miss King. Hold it?
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Look machine.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
You're in love with Quinn, aren't you answer me?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Mm?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I A square?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I knew it. I knew it.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Squirrel square?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
All right?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I wrong?
Speaker 6 (23:22):
If you'll do what I tell you to otherwise I'm
going to take him away from Mega pa?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
What do you do? What I say? What did you say?
It's Quinn?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I said.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Do you understand what she she's saying?
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Why? Of course, Hey, girls understand each other. Don't wait?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
But what are you?
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Let us alone for a minute? Will you?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
You go over there and sit in the corner.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
What go on? Well? What else can I do?
Speaker 4 (23:51):
That's right now? Machine.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
You'll promise if I let Quinn stay here with you,
you promise you'll never get any wrong answers again?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
All right?
Speaker 6 (24:05):
You promise you'll never say another word to anybody? Well,
all right to Quinn, but only when you're in here
absolutely alone. You under stay it, Hi, You promise, hurr
hurt because you know what I'll do if I ever
hear of you breaking your promise?
Speaker 4 (24:22):
A permit?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
What?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Eight seven six nine eight eight seven point seven.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Six hal that's right, I'll take him away so fast
it'll make your your two tambulator swim. Well, I'm not
kidding you and I have gotten in enough trouble now.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
So you see that you're a good girl.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Eight square?
Speaker 4 (24:48):
All right, then it's a deal. Okay, mister Quinn? Uh
call sign.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Huh oh wait a minute, mister Quinn, just a minute.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
She wants to ask me something. What is it, sister?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Two six five four three sixty six anti logarithms X
class y.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
Oh, I love you.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I No, that's right, I.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Love you.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
You're welcome, sister.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Now, don't forget okay, mister Quinn? What come here? What
everything's going to be? All right, mister Quinn. The story
in the paper tomorrow is about how you single handed
fix the machine and it's never going to make any
mistakes again. What I gotta go now, miss Quinn. The
(26:00):
machine's got something to say to you, and maybe she'd be.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Embarrassed if but wait, I don't understand.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Good guy, and don't look you around with that SuperFect
solacy anymore, mister Quinn, I might not be around.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
To give your hair.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Did you have something to say to me? Machine? On?
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
What? Why, my dear? Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
The square of the hypertenus of her right angle triangle
is equal to the sum of the squares of the
other two sides.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
You have listened to Quiet Please, which has written and.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Directed by Willis Cooper.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
The man who spoke to you.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Was Ernest Chappell, and Charita Bauer played Dallas Sandy was
played by Michael Fitzmorris.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
The voice of the machine was Vicky Bola. The original
music heard on Quiet Lees is composed and played by
Albert Burman.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Now for where about next week's Quiet Please? Here is
our writer, Director Willis Cooper.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I storry for next week is called I Read and
White guide on.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
It's about the days when cavalry rode horses, ladies and gentlemen.
And answer to many requests as to the Quiet Please theme,
(28:16):
it's a movement from the d minors. That's the new
stay dot Front.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
And so until next week.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
At this time, I am quietly yours.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Ernest Chapel wiet Pleas comes to you from New York.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
This is the world's largest network, the Mutual Broadcasting System
h
Pleased.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
M m.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Hm.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
The Mutual Broadcasting System presents Quiet Please, which is written.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And directed by Willis Cooper and which features Ernest Chappell.
Quiet Please.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Fortnight has called the pathetic fallacy.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I had very little to do with it. Really, I
don't even know how it works. No, I don't take
that back. I do know how it works in general.
For the details, nobody but the old gentleman knows them,
and I sometimes wonder if he does. Really, you see,
(01:09):
after all, it's merely a differential integrator. Everybody knows what
a differential integrator is, of course, but this one is
the most complicated and versiter one that's ever been built.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
What you see here is only the outer shell of
the thing. You see. All the walls of this room
are covered with.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Banks of jacks and relays, and these electronic glow tubes,
and up there are sequence analyzers with multiple dine wave selectors.
These are the precepts all along here, and the master
control is at.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
The desk there in the center.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
But that's not all, and not by a long shot.
The actual machine is behind those walls, three rooms full
of two hobes and waters and stroboscopes, and several thousand
miles of wiring and some devices that are not public property.
Yet the machine took six years to build, and a
(02:14):
total of eighty one extra technicians were employed continuously during
that time. So you can understand that any one man
knows very little of the actual construction of this giant
mechanical brain.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
God, that's just what it is.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
A mechanical electronic brain capable of performing mathematical tasks are
beyond the comprehension of the human brain. Now, are there
any questions before we proceed?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yes, I've got a question, mister Glinn. Does this machine
really think? No, mister Burns, Sandy Burns the Daily News. Well,
mister Burns, you may tell readers of the Daily News
that the machine does not think.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
It is a purely mechanical device, although a most complicated one.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
But you call it a brain.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I was merely indulging in the pathetic fallacy, mister.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Verdis Oh, all right, what is the pathetic fallacy?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It's a philosophical concept of John Ruskin miss Alice King.
A philosophical concept miss Alice King, which derives from the
imputation of human qualities or emotions to an inanimate thing.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
A figurative speech letters.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Say I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
It is quite common in literature, miss King, A poet
speaks of the angry sea, the crew of wind, and
so on.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Oh, oh I can it? Do you get it?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Any?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yah? I guess so good? Are there any other questions? Oh?
Go ahead? Unless somebody else.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Has a question I have? What's the machine good for?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
That is not as easy to answer as you might think,
Miss Alice King. I think that if I point out
that it is capable of solving the most abstruse mathematical
equation in an amazingly short time, you may have an
idea of its value to science and industry.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
How fair? How fast does it work?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Here is an example in this folder. This solution covers
thirty six pages. The machine produced this solution, and let
me look.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Sixteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
That is pretty fast, exceptionally fast when one considers that
without the machine, it would take twenty expert mathematicians working
together for something like ten years to arrive at the
same solution.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So you see, Oh, you know, I've.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Got one more question, mister Quinn, if you don't mind
go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
How do you know this answer is right?
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Why.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Of course it's right, sure, but how do you know why? Why?
That question has never come up before?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Yes, but if this machine is such a dinger as
you say it is, oughtn't you to be sure that
it adds things up?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It does? It does? I assure you this answer.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
To the problem you've got there, How do you know
it's right until twenty mathematicians worth ten years to do
it over again?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
It is a ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I'll tell you what's ridiculous to me, mister Quinn. That's
the same as it is to wellis.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
I think it's absurd for a bunch of great, big,
high powered scientists building a gadget like this and then.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Taking its word for everything without questions. I'm afraid you
haven't a proper scientific approach, mister b Oh. That's right,
I haven't. But listen here. I suppose you've got a.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Great, big scientific formula, whatever you call it, and let's
say a big bridge or something depends on some kind
of calculation that takes twenty minutes to do. Yes, well,
what if the machine made an error of just one number?
Wouldn't that error be multiplied a million times?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
And you see mister Burns, I said you didn't have
the scientific approach.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
We took that very.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Fact into consideration, and the operation of the machine has
been checked at every stage. How by starting with the
simplest possible mathematical problems. Now, if you just move into
the closer, I'll demonstrate we will progress from a simple
two plus two on through the multiplication of seven or
(06:40):
eight digit numbers, through raising a number to a three
digit power through algebra.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Let's say, very well, two.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Plus two is our first problem, which will be solved
electronically in one million of a second.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
The problem is.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Set up here, and when I flipped this button, the
result appears on the press parent screen. Up there, I'll
watch two plus two, two plus two or four?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
You see you turn.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Around and look at the screen, mister Quinn, what says five?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Up there? I pushed the wrong buttons? Of course, let
me push it very.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Well here, Sure they're the right ones?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
No alibi, miss King. You you can.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Read, can't you fluently? Mister Quinn?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
The button?
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Let me see look right, two and two?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Right now? This button?
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Okay, good heaven you see nineteen thousand, four hundred and
well here let me try go ahead, two and two.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Seven seventeen. This is incredible. I don't understand.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Huh, I'm sure hate to have that thing figure out.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
My income text.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, I'm sorry, something has gone very wrong. There's probably
a short circuit in the cocamulator's order.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
You know what I think, mister Quinn, What I think
that pathetic fallacy of yours is a fight.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I think the machine heard what you said, and.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
It's mad at you.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Come.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I'm sandy. We got a story.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yes, they certainly did have a story, and they plastered
it all over the front pages of the paper. For me,
the old gentleman had me on the cocket, and for
a scientists an extraordinary vocabulator, he must have been.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
A plumber or a mule scape of in his youth.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I couldn't explain those wrong the machine could I I
only knew one part.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Of it, the ucambulators that.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Operate from the master control path. Of course, I thought
that's where the trouble was. So the old gentleman told
me to tear them all out and inspect.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Them, make replacements and all that. He seem to blame
the whole thing on me. He's so unleased me.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Well, there are one hundred and forty four ucambulators, all
the rotary self retracting type with one underfross tubes, and
they weighed sixty pounds a piece.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
O Newspapers all over the country were laughing at it.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
They had funny jokes about the machine on six radio
programs in one night.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
And we've had to do something quick.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
If I've only not made that statement about the pathetic fallacy,
the way that girl took that.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Up and made me look like a first class Ooh,
I couldn't choke, so I started doing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
They shut down the lad but people kept swarming at
the gates to see the machine that's got mad at people.
And there I am up to here increasing wires and
electronic gadgets. Can I've been over every single one of
the one hundred and forty four uocambulators and there's not
a thing wrong with one of them, not one single thing.
(10:27):
But the machine won't work. It just sits there. I've
got just one more thing to do before I give up.
And of course when i give up, I'm through. Well,
the old man made that ampy clear. I'll be out
of a job that fast.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Try it another.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I've had to change my name and go somewhere and
find a job as a dishwasher, order save it or something.
And I've spent twenty seven years in this profession, all
of the thrown out the window because of the stubborn
collection of wheels and tubes and wires and relays and
(11:08):
whatever else there is. I hope you're happy.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
About that machine.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
Mm hmmm, what's that?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Nothing's starting up by itself? What goes on here? Those
tubes lighted up?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Now?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
What?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Why? That's the strangest? Who's that? Queen? Who is that?
Who's calling me? Hello? Hello? Who's calling me? I must
be hearing I'm losing my mind? Queen? Who's calling me? Queen? How?
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Pass?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
For? What? How?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Pass?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Who is that? I say?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Har?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Har har?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Why?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
It's the machine? It's talking back to me.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
What's happened, mister Quinn?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Come on in first, Come on, mister? What's up? Sit down?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Look, mister Quinn, I'm sorry we made.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Such a full lep Yeah, aw, my Quinn. But that's
the newspaper business. It's it's all right.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Why do you want to tell us?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well? I hardly know what to say now that you're here.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Here's the machine.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Have you got a steak?
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Put something?
Speaker 7 (12:54):
For us, because if there's anything we can do, you know,
we'll do it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The old gentleman's been pretty rough on you. Yes, he
has that.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Well, now look, mister Quinn, before you start, there's no
guarantee that anything you tell.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Us will be printed.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
We don't run the paper, you know, I.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Know, but you print this what? Well? You remember you
said the machine was mad at me.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, it was what it.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Was, but it's sorry.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Now you mind saying that again, mister Quinn.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Well, I said it's sorry.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Now wait a minute, handy, Oh what do you mean
by that?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Well, I'll show you. Listen machine, machine, listen, machine, do
you hear me? Listen? Quinn? What is this machine? Answer me?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Guy's god?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Fuck?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Oh? Come on, machine two plus two?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Mister Quinn, what are you trying to do?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You trying to get that machine to talk back to you?
It did once? Are you kidding? No, sir, No, I
am not well novel or Quinn.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
You say it did prop to you, mister Quin, Yes,
it did.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Machine, Come on.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
No way, when did it talk to you? Mister Quinn?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Just before I telephoned you, I was sitting here and
it called my name, It said, Queen, you're sure.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Of course, what else did it say? They said something
about two plus two or four mm. You'll remember that
was what it made the mistake about the other day.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Well, Alice said it was mad, and I think it
was trying to apologize for all the How would it
cause me?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Alice?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I don't know why it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Talk now, machine, Alice, I'm offully sorry. Maybe it's embarrassed
with you here, Alice, let's go mister Quinn.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Do you feel all right?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I'm not crazy, Miss King.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Isn't it possible that maybe thinking about that pathetic fallacy.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
And all the work major it is not?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I am sorry, mister Quinn. I've got work to do,
if you'll excuse us. No, I'm sorry. I don't know
what to do. I do they believe me? I do?
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Alice?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
You're not going to write another story about mister Quinn?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I think I'm not.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
You coming with me, Jenny, if you want that story,
I'll never preach to you again.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Oh darling, I'm a reporter.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
You have something worse than that. If you do that
to this poor man, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
All right, I guess, Miss King, I ask for it.
Can you admit you cooked up a story for us.
I didn't cook off anything the machine talk to me.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Okay, so long Quinn, you coming, Elise.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I am not.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
And if you came in a story that haunts mister
Quinn anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Stop it.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Well, I I suppose I might as well go get
my hat and coat.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I'm terribly sorry at this point.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yes, I am too.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Uh do you want to tell me what really happened?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I told you, miss King.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I was sitting here and I was talking to myself,
and I was talking kind of to the machine.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I suppose I was.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Feeling sorry for myself, out of a job, never be
able to get another job again, because I've been disgraced
by a.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Couple of newspaper people who thought more of a silly
story than of a man's whole career.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Well, it's not your fault.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Really, I suppose I'd have done the same thing if
I order a newspaper man.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
There isn't anything you saying, as king.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
If I can stop Sandy from writing another story, it.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Doesn't make any difference.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Mister Quinn.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Couldn't have a dinner, I mean, couldn't you have fine
asleep and dreams? You heard the machine talking.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I'm I'm sure I didn't.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Why do you have any scientific explanation for it?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
No, No, I haven't any scientific explanation. The only explanation
I have is that maybe we did create something intelligent
out of wires and tubes and things that maybe it does.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Think you said that was a pathetic fallacy.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I'm not sure it's a fallacy, my dear. Well, goodbye.
I'm sorry to have troubled you.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Isn't there anything I can do?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
There isn't anything anyone can do. I'm I'm just very disappointed.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
That's all.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Goodbye, Hi, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Well. I guess that's that.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I was in a bad spot before machine. But now
I'll never get out of what that wy will do
to me. Now, well, I better get out of here
right now. I'll never be able to face the old
gentleman again.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Machine.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
It's been nice knowing your Machine. I don't hold any
hard feelings, honestly, I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
You know if.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Anybody heard me talking like this to a mechanical monstrosity
like you, they'd say, i'd I'm soft in a head?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Do you know that? And I wonder if maybe I.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Haven't by up, well, maybe I can get a job
as a street sweeper in Omaha or something.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
You have a good time, oh by yourself? Machine? Will you?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Mm hmmm, Queen, I'm.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Afraid it's too late now, Queen, you saying goodbye machine?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
How hard? Ha Queen? I'm not at all sure that
it is machine. I'm not sure of anything anymore. Why
didn't you say something? Why those people were.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Hurt?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Hold m over M five three four two eight seven

What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Ninety nine Manchester three two seven point six equals man
Tenster three two point seven six?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yes? I suppose so? So you you have got an
intelligent brain? Have you too? Good?
Speaker 4 (20:26):
To minus three?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Well, machine, queen, there isn't anything you can do now
that do men good?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm washed up good.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Nobody will believe a word I say about this? So well,
shall we have a good talk together now before I.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Go away for good? Queen? I wish we could tell
each other things? Do you understand me?
Speaker 4 (20:54):

Speaker 1 (21:10):
You're not mad at me anymore? Then?

Time happened?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Six three five?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Who talking mister.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Quinn, I thought you'd go on.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Who was there?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Was I talking?
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (21:29):
You were talking when somebody else was talking.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
