Scene: early 20th century village in the middle of nowhere.

Villager 1 (Harold): Have you heard about this ee-lectricity thing, Bobert?

Villager 2 (Bobert): Ee-lec-what-city?

Harold: it's some way of using the lightning from the clouds to cook yer food.

Bobert: well that don't seem too useful. What's wrong with fire?

Harold: They say it'll be able to spin the wheels on a wagon and light up our hovels and plant our crops and saw our timber and even play our musical instruments.

Bobert: How will people generate wealth if ee-lecticity does everything?
