And thus, Earth is but a small drop
in the ocean of the vast universe
full of planets, suns and asteroids
we are not alone in that vast universe
there are thousands and thousands
of other planets
and it's not every day that we get a
friend visiting from USA like you
light it up, man.
We are up for a good start
but what if it's an important lecture
come on, nothing
in life is that important
plus, we know what he
is going to do
he will get in, puts down his bag
takes off his old man's glasses
then wipes his bald head with
his handkerchief
then writes with the chalk:
Resources and Population
he's been stuck on that resources
and population for two months
I'm losing my mind.
It's seemingly a new lecture
- Yet the resources remain the same
- But the population differs
Resources and Population
In the previous lecture,
we started talking
about developing
countries in Asia
Today we continue talking about India
According to the most recent annual report
issued in the Demographic Year Book
India's population has reached 529,343,000
with a 2.11% annual raise
The Indian woman gives birth to
5 babies on average
which means that every 175 woman
give birth to 1000 babies
250 of those 1000 die
before the age of two
then another 250 die before
the age of puberty
Between the years 1890 - 1950,
India's population's count saw a raise
from 276 million to 420 million
which means that the high expansion
of population is unhindered by
diseases, famines, or wars
The northern plains are considered the
most crowded parts of India
These plains include the basins
of Indus-Ganga and Brahmaputra.
The population count in the
Indus-Ganga plain ranges between 500
and 700 persons in a square mile
leading to a degree of saturation
for that plain
that allows for no raise in population
count in the past years
If only we can divide the earth's
population over the rest of the planets
we can take the moon
or Mercury. No, no..
We take the moon
it's better and more beautiful
for sure, the moon is the fairest
of all planets
For ages, earth inhabitants have been
in love with the moon
all the poems and songs about the moon
and anyway, we can see the moon
in front of us
clear, honest
we can see where it begins and ends
no boundaries, no buildings
no streets, no shops
no smoke-producing factories,
no tiny apartments
no buses, no people everywhere
lectures, theaters, cinemas
the moon is vast, and empty
the population distribution in
the European Mediterranean sea
Italy: 50,300,000
Spain: 30,000,000
Yugoslavia: 19,200,000
and thus, the total
count is 90,500,000
on the European side
of the Mediterranean
and we previously mentioned the 239,300,000
inhabiting north-west of Europe
and 79,800,000 in mid and west Europe
Soviet Union has 252,000,000..
Bringing Europe to a total
of 633,500,000 inhabitants
When we spoke of Asia
in regards to its population
We mentioned that without the Soviet
Union, Asian population amounts to
an average of 1,280,000,000
Africa
The population of Mid-Africa...
South Africa
Including Rodissa, South-Africa
: 30,500,000
West Africa, includes Guinea, Ghana, Togo
Cameron: 56,100,000
bringing Africa to a
total of 274,000,000
But the scene appearing before us,
as our ship curves around the moon
is never before seen on earth.
Particularly the volcano openings
scattered all over the surface
varying in shapes and sizes
some are tiny, hardly recognized
from 200 miles away
and some are big, almost
100 miles in diameter
but as we know, the moon
is devoid of air and water
we approach the moon.
We get close
we become only 200 miles away from it
as our captain flies into a
circular orbit around it
Did you see it Nadia?
Apollo arrived yesterday
- really?
- Wakie wakie
I swear I didn't know
- Good job!
- It's not just them
The Russians have been sending humans
and animals to space for years
and Luna 15 was launched 4 days ago
what matters is who will
sit foot on the moon first
- So it's just a race,
like the football league?
What league? It's all for the
sake of science and technology
That's not the point. Can you
imagine that in 3, 4 years..
- The moon can be..
- Enough, where is the lecture notebook?
And the moon enlarges, as we see
it through a small telescope
- Where are you going?
- I'm finished
- You hardly ate anything
- I had a sandwich at the university
TV, 9:30: A documentary
about Apollo's space travel
A spokesperson of the Space
Agency said that Apollo
And now for the headlines
of this news coverage
The president received a visit from the
ambassador of the USSR in Cairo
Our Jet Fighters force the enemy
planes to retreat back east
and all our planes returned back safely
and from Houston, United Press
Agency announced that the countdown
has begun for Apollo 11 spaceship
in preparation for launching
outside of the earth atmosphere
and that concludes our
news hour, live from Cairo
and now with commentary
on the news
Titled: Israel's occupational
intentions in the middle-east
9:30 A documentary about
Apollo's journey to the moon
- What's up dear?
- Good evening, Auntie..
- Can I watch your TV?
- Of course, come in.
- Could we switch channels?
- What do you mean?
- Switch to channel 2
- Ah, you mean the other station..
But it's working fine on this one,
Just watch
Reuters just reported from Houston,
that the three astronauts
sent a message to earth
communication center saying that
now they can clearly
watch the TV signal
transmitted towards them
inside the spaceship
They also mentioned that all
devices are working perfectly
and that the journey is going
according to the programmed plan
it's expected that the three
astronauts would send another message
at exactly 9:00 pm GMT
reporting to earth followup center the
full report of the spaceship devices
in preparation for firing
rocket propellers,
as part of the moon
landing procedure
it was reported at 6:00pm
that the primary maneuvers were successful
in launching the vertical rocket propellers
it's expected that the
rockets will launch in
three hours after landing
orders are given
a spokesperson from NASA announced that..
The astronauts take the shuttle
on their way to the spaceship
Hello Hello
My name is Farid, but you call me Ferry
I saw you before in the University
but you weren't paying attention
Sheraton? Or Haram Street?
What do you say?
There is a 23 inch TV inside
They landed on the moon!
Population explosion
hear hear
population explosion
The world might face a famine
by the year 1980
In America alone...
What is that? Do you plan
to return to studying?
- Not me
- Then who?
- It's hers
- Who is she?
She.
- Cute?
- 18 years old.
- Dark skinned?
- Crème Chantilly
looks like you fell!
- Not me
- Does she love you?
No, she is in love with the moon.
Hello... Mr Farid?
Tonight. Don't be late.
The world might face a famine
by the year 1980
The increased overpopulation, unmatched
by an increase in resources
Threatens with a catastrophe that
we have to avoid.
In USA, there are 17
million whose resources
can't cover more
than one meal a day.
And 7 millions who can't
even afford that one meal
One third of the third world population
suffers from unemployment
320 million unemployed

You are 100 times prettier than the photo.
I love you.
I wish we could remain that way forever
- Who do you say so?
- They all do.
- Who?
- My friends who got married
What do they say?
That after the first 2 months are over..
What happens then?
- We get used to each other
- And stop loving?

- How much time is left?
- 3 hours and 45 minutes
Is it your first time traveling?
And where is your wife?
Are you traveling on business?
Then you should have taken your wife
to travel with you.
I'm not coming back.
- Migrating?
- Almost
You think you can make it abroad?
Traveling is the only solution
I don't think so
Traveling is an escape.
And escape is never a solution.
The solution is to secure a future
in your country..
By using Samt..
From Johann Strauss, we listened to
the four Célèbres Valses
Vals Del Emperador. Op. 437
played by Minneapolis symphony Orchestra
conducted by Antal Doráti
This concludes our transmission for now,
to resume at 7 am.

We wish you good times
And a good sleep, and pleasant dreams.
Good Night
What is it?
I had a request to file
to the board.
Regarding cancellation of
the late-for-work penalty.
And I was hoping to get your signature
before I file it in.
Honestly, I have no other sources of income
so if you can recommend..
That the penalty would be deducted
from next month's pay.
So I have a chance to prepare,
you know the household responsibility
and I was never reckless.
It's just circumstances that force me..
Fine, fine. Just go to work now
But Sir, my pay is about to be deducted..
Well hello Sir. At your service.
You will come yourself? That's
an honor to the whole company.
Did he notice?
Listen up. we have a saying that goes
The clever one could weave
with the leg of a...
Meaning that if I have any
skill, I should use it
For example, If I can type,
I buy a small typewriter
and I can work on it in my free time.
For sure the income will increase.
The program would like to thank you,
on behalf of the audience.
And we hope that they benefited
from such great opinions.
Did he notice?
He is the one who
reports you every time.
Wherever you are. Whatever you do.
Be careful. The camera is behind you.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you,
and till next week.
No way! how are you?
Are you a father yet?
It was a pleasure.
Stop fooling around.
You are still the same.
Nothing has changed
-Do you still see any of them?
Here is my card.
It has the numbers for my house, office
and clinic.
Now you have no excuse, let's meet again.
Listen.
Yes Sir.
You need to understand that
you work in a respectable place.
It has rules and customs
Yes Sir, I'm at your service.
What can I do now?
I will have 4 pounds deduction.
The debts alone are 12 pounds
Should I create money!
Imagine I can't close my eyes
before 5 am.
When can I wake up?
I can not sleep without a sleeping pill.
And now it's two or three pills.
Oh God!
And now no less than 5 pills
till I get to sleep.
Seems we got old without realizing.
Do you remember the old days?
I remember I always wanted to be
a musician or a painter, not an accountant.
Even though I never knew
how to play music or draw.
But I think if I learned,
It would have worked out.
- Coffee
- and you Sir?
-ATTRITION WAR-
The issue is merely economic inflation.
No one can deny it is a chain that
starts in the heavy duty factory
making tanks and jets, and ends
with poverty in another country.
Any other country where
these weapons are used.
It's not an issue of
freedom, it's just markets
that need to be opened
for goods to be consumed
Every production musts
be met by consumption, right?
In that name of Allah.
And peace be upon the last of his prophets.
Dear brothers..
Indeed, Allah orders justice and
good conduct and giving to relatives
and forbids immorality and
bad conduct and oppression.
He admonishes you that perhaps
you will be reminded.
I'm no beggar my brothers..
As some of you might have thought.
Nor am I mad, as other might think.
I'm a scientist, I swear to God.
I have a message, so heavy
that a mountain can not bear.
I'm only asking for a loaf
of bread, or its equivalent.
Five pounds.
I told them you will pay at the branch.
Don't nap now, so you can sleep at night.
May he rest in peace. He was a kind man.
The only one who sympathized with me.
Death always likes to pick.
Like a horse.
Anyway, I will prescribe
you some supplements.
But this is not related to sleep.
As I told you, the only solution is..
That I try not to think.
And to bid myself a good
night once I enter the bed.
Right?
Here is my card. It has the numbers of my
house, office and clinic.
No, not to that extent.
But anyway..listen..
- Shall I offer you some sleeping pills?
- Like what?
Valium
I'm used to it now. it
doesn't work anymore.
Librium.
I tried it after the
Valium stopped working.
I slept for 2, 3 days, by the forth
it was getting difficult.
I took 5 pills on the fifth day,
and I still stayed up all night.
Valium and Librium have the
same ingredients, right?
So you became a real specialist.
I tried most sedatives. I kept
switching once I hit my threshold.
And so on.
Did you try Amytal Sodium?
- What is it called?
- Amytal Sodium.
But it's a strong effect.
And you have to be cautious using it.
Only half a pill before sleeping daily.
Five pounds.
I told them you will pay at the branch.
The previous time, I only ordered to
deduct your days of being late.
This time, there is no enough
punishment for your wrong-doing.
Choose yourself.
It was impossible to reopen before
making a new diagnosis.
That's what they taught us.
And I can't leave a case like this.
I opened, took a slide,
and made an analysis.
Listen..
Try counting from 1 to 100.
- What?
- Count from 1 to 100. Is that strange?
Lay down, relax and count.
1..2..3..
Pounds. I told them you
will pay at the branch.
So she said she is coming by
with Essam, Madiha and the kids
Because Essam is about to travel,
and they are fare-welling him.
The university in the USA sent
him a contract and a ticket.

One million what? I'm
saying 64 million dollars.
The bombs shelling Vietnam cost
64 million dollars per day.
Isn't that sinful, uncle?
Uncle..
What were you thinking?
Nothing.
You know, Madiha, when I was you age..I had
a neighbour who looked exactly like you
That was 25 years ago.
Oh uncle..that's why you
have insomnia till now?
Insomniac?
But I'm sleeping.
One..Two..Three

What do you want?
I want to sleep.
Twenty-Seven... Twenty-Eight..Twenty-Nine..

There is a tax raise applied to
your salary starting this month.
What was the accounting
mistake exactly?
He married someone
there, and he is
earning 20 double
his salary here.
In hard currency of course.
Weapon factories must shut down,
production must be distributed.
Distribution requires a war..Korea,
Vietnam, Egypt..anywhere.
It's just markets
for their products.
That's how they can afford
Cadillacs and Rolls Royces..
And Champagne.
Sleep.
- One Hundred and Five..One Hundred Six..
- Wrong, wrong, wrong.
That's not what I asked.
What's the point of counting
when your thinking is still the same.
Shall I start from the beginning?
There is no point.
I start from the beginning.
And when I reach a hundred..
I will sleep.
I swear I will sleep.
I swear to God I will sleep.
Just don't swear if you
won't honor that oath.
Mom..
What can I do if I can't honor the oath.
You fast for three days my dear.
Did you fast till noon today as we agreed?
I'm lying to you.
I don't fast.
I ate this morning.
This time, there is no enough
punishment for your wrong-doing.
Make a decision. Make a decision.

No one can deny it is a chain that
starts in the heavy duty factory
making tanks and jets, and ends
with poverty in another country.
Any other country where
these weapons are used.
It's not an issue of
freedom, it's just markets
that need to be opened
for goods to be consumed
Every production musts
be met by consumption, right?
In that name of Allah.
And peace be upon the last of his prophets.
Dear brothers..
Indeed, Allah orders justice and
good conduct and giving to relatives
and forbids immorality and
bad conduct and oppression.
He admonishes you that perhaps
you will be reminded.
I'm no beggar my brothers..
As some of you might have thought.
Nor am I mad, as other might think.
I'm a scientist, I swear to God.
I have a message, so heavy
that a mountain can not bear.
I'm only asking for a loaf
of bread, or its equivalent.
Five pounds.
I told them you will pay at the branch.
Don't nap now, so you can sleep at night.
May he rest in peace. He was a kind man.
The only one who sympathized with me.
Death always likes to pick.
Like a horse.
Anyway, I will prescribe
you some supplements.
But this is not related to sleep.
As I told you, the only solution is..
That I try not to think.
And to bid myself a good
night once I enter the bed.
Right?
Here is my card. It has the numbers of my
house, office and clinic.
No, not to that extent.
But anyway..listen..
- Shall I offer you some sleeping pills?
- Like what?
Valium
I'm used to it now. it
doesn't work anymore.
Librium.
I tried it after the
Valium stopped working.
I slept for 2, 3 days, by the forth
it was getting difficult.
I took 5 pills on the fifth day,
and I still stayed up all night.
Valium and Librium have the
same ingredients, right?
So you became a real specialist.
I tried most sedatives. I kept
switching once I hit my threshold.
And so on.
Did you try Amytal Sodium?
- What is it called?
- Amytal Sodium.
But it's a strong effect.
And you have to be cautious using it.
Only half a pill before sleeping daily.
Five pounds.
I told them you will pay at the branch.
The previous time, I only ordered to
deduct your days of being late.
This time, there is no enough
punishment for your wrong-doing.
Choose yourself.
It was impossible to reopen before
making a new diagnosis.
That's what they taught us.
And I can't leave a case like this.
I opened, took a slide,
and made an analysis.
Listen..
Try counting from 1 to 100.
- What?
- Count from 1 to 100. Is that strange?
Lay down, relax and count.
1..2..3..
Pounds. I told them you
will pay at the branch.
So she said she is coming by
with Essam, Madiha and the kids
Because Essam is about to travel,
and they are fare-welling him.
The university in the USA sent
him a contract and a ticket.
One..
Two..
Three..
Four..
Five..
Six..
Seven..
Eight..
Twelve..
Fourteen..
Fifteen..
Household..12 for the debts.
6 pounds for cigarettes.
One... what!
A million?
One million what? I'm
saying 64 million dollars.
The bombs shelling Vietnam cost
64 million dollars per day.
Isn't that sinful, uncle?
Uncle..
What were you thinking?
Nothing.
You know, Madiha, when I was you age..I had
a neighbour who looked exactly like you
That was 25 years ago.
Oh uncle..that's why you
have insomnia till now?
Insomniac?
But I'm sleeping.
One..Two..Three
Four..Five..Six..
Seven..Eight..Nine
Ten..Eleven..Twelve... Thirteen..
What do you want?
I want to sleep.
Twenty-Seven... Twenty-Eight..Twenty-Nine..
Thirty..
There is a tax raise applied to
your salary starting this month.
What was the accounting
mistake exactly?
He married someone
there, and he is
earning 20 double
his salary here.
In hard currency of course.
Weapon factories must shut down,
production must be distributed.
Distribution requires a war..Korea,
Vietnam, Egypt..anywhere.
It's just markets
for their products.
That's how they can afford
Cadillacs and Rolls Royces..
And Champagne.
Sleep.
- One Hundred and Five..One Hundred Six..
- Wrong, wrong, wrong.
That's not what I asked.
What's the point of counting
when your thinking is still the same.
Shall I start from the beginning?
There is no point.
I start from the beginning.
And when I reach a hundred..
I will sleep.
I swear I will sleep.
I swear to God I will sleep.
Just don't swear if you
won't honor that oath.
Mom..
What can I do if I can't honor the oath.
You fast for three days my dear.
Did you fast till noon today as we agreed?
I'm lying to you.
I don't fast.
I ate this morning.
This time, there is no enough
punishment for your wrong-doing.
Make a decision. Make a decision.
