ALQUIST Yes, like Nana. Has Nana got a prayer book? HELENA Yes, a big thick one. ALQUIST And has it got prayers for various occasions? Against thunderstorms? Against illness? HELENA Against temptations, against floods ALQUIST But not against progress? HELENA I don’t think so. ALQUIST That’s a pity. HELENA Why? Do you mean you’d like to pray? ALQUIST I do pray. HELENA How? ALQUIST Something like this: “Oh, Lord, I thank thee for having given me toil. Enlighten Domin and all those who are astray; destroy their work, and aid mankind to return to their labors; let them not suffer harm in soul or body; deliver us from the Robots, and protect Helena, Amen.
