Catherine: ”The Ood are the servants of man. If you were each other’s servants what would you refuse
Catherine: ”The Ood are the servants of man. If you were each other’s servants what would you refuse to do for each other. Um, if I was your servant…”David: “Wow…”Catherine: “Well, to be honest, I wouldn’t do anything for you. I really wouldn’t.”David: ”Just on principle? Or just ‘cause you couldn’t be bothered?”Catherine: ”Well, where do you draw the line?”David: ”It’s impossible to know.”Catherine: ”How can you possibly say what—”David: ”Well, we’re differentiating between servant and slave. You could say the Ood are slaves, really. And slaves don’t have any choice, they’re not allowed to draw the line. Where servants, I suppose, are.”Catherine: ”Servants probably have a union.”David: ”Yeah, probably unionised in some way. There’s lots of things I could’t do, ‘cause there are huge gaps in my practical knowledge, so—”Catherine: ”But you’re assuming I’d be asking you to do something difficult.”David: “Well, like put a shelf up or something like that; I’d probably struggle a bit. I could maybe do a shelf. Tiling, I could’t do your tiling.”Catherine: “If we were each other’s servants, would it sort of cancel it all out? Because if I said, “make me a cup of tea” you’d go, “no, make me a cup of tea!” and I’d go, “no, you make me a cup of tea!”, “no, you make me a cup of tea!”“David: “You’re right, that is, that is, uh…”Catherine: ”It’s ridiculous!”David: ”There’s a word for that, isn’t it… it’s not dichotomy, that’s something else entirely. But something that cancels itself out.”Catherine: ”Is it negative equity?”David: ”Yeah, it’s a negative equity. That question is a negative equity, let’s have another one.” -- source link
