Tom: Civilization’s going to pieces! I’ve become kind of pessimistic about things. Have you read "The Rise of the Colored Empires"?
Nick: Why no.
Tom: It’s a fine book. The idea is if we don’t look out of the white race will be utterly submerged.
Daisy: Tom’s getting profound. He reads books with long words in them.
Tom: Well these books are all scientific. We have to watch out or these other races will have control of things too.
Daisy: We’ve got to beat them down.
Tom: The idea is that we’re Nordics.
