Speaker 1: The night Story The Roads Must Roll by Robert Heinlein.
Speaker 3: Hear them hum Watson run, Oh, our job is never done?
Or roadways rolling along?
Speaker 4: Why are you right?
Speaker 3: While you're blind? We are watching down inside? So your
roadways rolling along? Oh, it's high hidy, the roader men
are we Second, the sector is loud and strong.
Speaker 5: One two.
Speaker 3: Anywhere you go, you about to know that your roadways keep.
Speaker 4: Rolling along, keep the rolling.
Speaker 3: That your roadways keep rolling along.
Speaker 1: It was in the middle nineteen fifties that the automotive
of age began to die. The traffic engineers had long
expected it for years. They had watched our vast cities
sprawl and spread out, spill over into the countryside, become
more and more dependent on motor transportation, and then finally
the inevitable breaking point was reached. The growing flood of
cars and buses and trucks began to swamp the streets
and arterial highways. The building of roads could no longer
keep pace. The super highways clogged, congested, They came packed
with cars, stall bumpered of bumpers, and the cities began
to die of slow strangulation, for the traffic could no
longer roll. And then the engineers took over. They banned
the automobiles, tore up the super highways, and in their
place they built the rolling roads, mechanized roads that moved
like huge conveyor belts, whirling along on their giant rotors
at speeds ranging from five to one hundred miles an hour,
carrying the freight, the food, and the people from city
to city and coast to coast. And no one worried
over the fact that if the road should ever stop,
our whole economic life would stop, for the machinery had
never failed yet, But people forgot the machinery depends on men,
the men who run it.
Speaker 6: Who makes the roads roll.
Speaker 7: That's right, The engineers where the brains of the road,
and where with the public bathe. We didn't keep the
roads rolling right behind the eight ball, and everybody knows that.
All right, then where the men who hold the power,
and it's time.
Speaker 6: We started using it.
Speaker 7: We've called this meeting of the Engineer's Control Committee because
that's what we want to do. Control because I'm tired
of taking orders from the Transport Commission, from slick desk
jockeys like Jim Gaines.
Speaker 4: I don't even know our road up bearing from a field.
Speaker 7: All all that gains you am about our duty to
the public. That's a lot of eyewash. We've got the
power and were the men that count. That's time we
quit fiddling around and yours a little direct action, take
out what.
Speaker 4: We want German.
Speaker 7: Mister Jerman, the chair recognizes Brother Harvey and the Transport
Mechanics Unions.
Speaker 4: Thanks.
Speaker 2: Thanks, No, I don't really belong here since I'm no engineer.
I'm just here to represent the workers union. Well, I
want to know what's all the shouting for. You engineers
have got better working conditions than we have, and we
ain't kicking. You say the engineers are powerful, You say
you can tie up the roads, but so can any
screwball with a jar of Knight for glycerin, and he
wouldn't need no engineer's degree to do it neither.
Speaker 4: I mean you're speaking for your union.
Speaker 7: Hour are you here the stooge for the transport commissions?
Speaker 4: Listen van Cleek. I helped fund my union.
Speaker 2: I let the strike in seventy five for decent working conditions.
Where were you engineers then with the faint.
Speaker 4: Brother Hervey, Brother Harvey.
Speaker 6: Remember you're only a guest at this meeting.
Speaker 7: Go on, man, I listen, man, I'm one of the
old engineers on the roads.
Speaker 6: You all are work up the hard way.
Speaker 7: We didn't go to the fancy technical institutes like those
young punk cadet engineers.
Speaker 6: The commissioner is training to.
Speaker 7: Take over our jobs unless we do something to stop them.
Jim Gaines hasn't been able to fill us full of
the old school spirit and that blooney about how the
the roads must roll. It's all right, then, why don't
we get smart for a change. What would happen if
the roads stop rolling? Maybe the country would begin to
realize that they can't do without us. Maybe we'd begin
to get the things we want. Who says the roads
must roll?
Speaker 8: Yes, your wife is calling, mister Gaines, Jim, I want
you to stop off on your way.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Darling, I can't make it.
Speaker 4: I know, but Washington called in there, sending Evans, the
Australian Minister at Transport through my sector today. I've got
to show them through personally. I'm chief supervisor. Wouldn't be courteous.
Speaker 5: Courtesy begins at home. I've planned this dinner for a week.
Speaker 6: Honey, the roads must roll.
Speaker 5: Oh if you quote that nauseating slogan at me again,
I'll divorce.
Speaker 4: I can't help it, Darling. I'll meet you at Stockton
at nine and we'll take in a show. Kiss Allen,
good night for me.
Speaker 8: Well, all right, goodbye, goodbye. Mister Evans is here show men.
Speaker 6: Well, good evening, mister Evans. I'm Gaines, chief engineer.
Speaker 4: How do you do, mister Gaines? They told me at
the embassy you'd be the man to see. I want
to know how the roads work. I think we can
handle that.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 4: I'm not a technical man, mister Gaines. My field is sociology.
So suppose you tell me about the roads as if
I were entirely ignorant. Fine, it's nearly at dinner time.
I suppose we run up to Stockton sector for dinner.
It'll take us about an hour on the roads, and
you can see them working excellent. If you'll excuse me
a minute sitting.
Speaker 5: Hi, she What can I do for you? Dave?
Speaker 4: You're on evening? Watch eh at westvan Kleek. I'm going
up to Stockton for dinner. Anything to report?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 4: Keep them rolling? All right, mister Evans, let's go. This
is the low speed strip. I've ridden a conveyor before. No,
it's quite simple. Rememble to place the motion of the
strip as you get on there, we'll go right across.
Each adjoining strip is a few miles an hour faster
than the one next to it. Brightest carried on the
fifty mile strip. Most passenger traffic on the express strip.
All right, now watch a step there we are the
maximum speed one hundred miles an hour.
Speaker 6: It doesn't seem possible.
Speaker 4: This trip makes the round trip San Diego Toreno in
twelve hours.
Speaker 6: Ready tweet? Who is this the restaurant? Jake Steakhouse, fastest
meal on the road. Who is it really a proper restaurant?
One of the best? Shall we go in?
Speaker 5: I'm a mister gangs.
Speaker 4: We don't see you much out on the road. Busy
in the office. Jake two right this way, let it
be your order. I'll how about a steak two inches
thick from a steer that died.
Speaker 6: Happy, fine, fine, Uh plug me in the pom with you.
Speaker 5: There's one right next to you.
Speaker 6: Fank too rare, you'll excuse me, mister Evans.
Speaker 5: Dennison.
Speaker 6: On watch, here's the chief. I'm a jack steakhouse.
Speaker 4: You can reach me at one oh L sixty six
six six right now.
Speaker 6: They can get hold of me in an emergency.
Speaker 4: Oh what kind of emergency could there be?
Speaker 6: Two?
Speaker 4: Principally, power failure on the roaders would bring the road
to a stand still. That happened during Russia. We'd have
to evacuate millions of people from the road. As many
as that easily. There are twelve million people dependent on
this section abroad.
Speaker 6: Games here, Hello.
Speaker 9: Chief Davidson, just got the hour of reports in Diego
circle bake a field, sectors, docton secutor and Reno circle
all rolling.
Speaker 4: Oh you didn't have to bother me with the hourly
is Dave.
Speaker 9: There's a supplementary from Sacramento. Proceed catat Engineer Gunter while
on watch was found playing cards with CJ. Ross, technician
on duty. Any damage one roader running hot but still synchronized.
Speaker 5: Was Jack down replaced?
Speaker 6: All right? Have the plan?
Speaker 4: Ask to give Ross his time and turn them over
to several authorities place, get that gun through under arrest
and bring him to roadtown central.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, all.
Speaker 6: Right, keep him rolling.
Speaker 4: I was saying there were two possibilities of danger. Can
you visualize what would happen if the strip under us
would break?
Speaker 6: Oh? I haven't thought of that.
Speaker 4: You don't realize you're traveling at one one hundred miles
an hour.
Speaker 6: Well it can't not. Now.
Speaker 4: The strip has a safety factor of over twelve to one.
It'd take a blowout of several miles of roaders and
the failure of circuit breakers before the strip could part.
But it happened once in the early days on the
Philadelphia Jersey City road strip was much more than a
conveyor belt buckle for miles, crushing passengers against the roof
forward section in front of the brakes, filling down under
into the roaders and rollers. Oh, was it very bad.
Over three thousand people were killed in that break, But
the roads had to go on. The entire economic system
hangs on the roads. They stopped, now the country would start.
Who were Isn't it possible that you've become too dependent
on these roads? I mean, if your whole economy is
geared to the function of one type of machinery, the.
Speaker 6: Roads are fool proof.
Speaker 4: Now the machinery is interlocked with an enormous safety factor. Yes,
but in the long run, machinery depends on men. What
if you had a strike? We had one back in
seventy five. There's not much danger of that anymore. No, well,
why not every cadet that goes to work on the
roads today as a graduate of the United States trans
Board Academy. They're all pick men, screened for emotional stability
and trying to give us the same kind of lovety
that Annapolis and West Point developing them.
Speaker 6: Men, I see, are you a graduate, mister Gaine. No,
I'm too old for that.
Speaker 4: The academy wasn't set up till after the striking seventy five,
But it won't be long now, maybe five or ten
years before the oldest engineer on the road, says a
man who's been through the academy.
Speaker 9: Gain's here, Davidson, there's another trouble report from Sacramento Sector.
Speaker 6: Again. What is it this time? What is it? What's happened? Merchancy?
Speaker 5: Stop?
Speaker 4: Hello? Hello, it's everything?
Speaker 6: Houns her out come on?
Speaker 4: Hey, heay?
Speaker 5: What is it?
Speaker 4: What's the matter with the road.
Speaker 6: Have everybody's stay in the restaurant? What's that? Probably somebody's stepped.
Speaker 4: On to the next trip. Got cut the Revens. There'll
be plenty of casualties. Chack, why's you getaway? Hats in
the pantry? Ook here, Hunt, I'm going to help those people.
Speaker 6: I've got the whole road to think of. Don't bother me.
Speaker 4: Give me a hat, Jack, The hatch is stuck right off.
If you're coming with me, Miss t Revens, you've got
to move fast.
Speaker 6: I haven't got any time to waste. Where where do
we know?
Speaker 4: Freeway on top of the inner road ceiling. That's the
outer shell over us? Are we going outside?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: There will be an access down manhole over here that's
placed every hundred feet there not the green light. H
Just get us down on the north bound road.
Speaker 6: Carefull.
Speaker 4: Sorry, I'm turn away from the door.
Speaker 6: Evans. Yes, but this road is still ruling.
Speaker 4: And there was only one hundred mile strip that stopped.
That's what I want to phone booth. I got excused,
look out, Hey, hey.
Speaker 10: Hey, I'm talking to my wife.
Speaker 4: What's Emergency Priority Division Office?
Speaker 6: Davidson gains here a report?
Speaker 5: Cheap perner, you've been have been calling you?
Speaker 6: Never mind that report?
Speaker 9: Seven oh nine Consolidate Attention Reports Strip twenty Sacramento Sector
past emergency level interlocks acted and cut the strip out
cause of failure unknown direct communication cut to Sacramentic Control Office.
Evacuation of Strip twenty commenced.
Speaker 5: No casualties.
Speaker 6: There are casualties.
Speaker 4: I saw them put police in hospital routine into operation.
Get me bank quick. I want him to take off
the formtal I report in.
Speaker 5: Can't reach them, Chief. Shall I cut out the rest
of the road.
Speaker 4: No, keep those other strips rolling and we'll have a
traffic jam. The devil himself couldn't untangle. There are five
million passengers on the road. Now notify the governor that
I have assumed emergency authority. I'm all cadets available on
the white Artist.
Speaker 5: Shall I recall technicians on GRGE.
Speaker 4: This isn't an engineering failure. That whole sector went out simultaneously.
Somebody cut those roaders by hand. I want all available
senior pass cadets to report the stock that subsector office
ten with pistols and take gas.
Speaker 5: Yes, the governor wants to talk to you.
Speaker 6: He called in reform to someone else.
Speaker 5: I'm busy.
Speaker 6: I'll get back there.
Speaker 4: I'm going down under heavens, heavens. I can't hear you
that the noise what on this helmet? What helmet? Helmet?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yes, you can't hear without an anti and noise filler.
Come on, what are we looking for? Ricon car?
Speaker 6: There should be one.
Speaker 4: Here are those the roaders and the big ones are roaders,
they drive the road. Little ones are rollers. They get
continuous support. There's a watch gang now jacking down a roader.
Speaker 6: Can they hear us?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 4: The noise fellow works on a four foot radius. I'll
flash him. He sees the light. Wilson recording to I
want you to ricon car emergency. Yes, sir, right over here, sir,
come on, Evans, I'll get in. But it's so smooth
you'll fit all right. You can take off your noise fellern.
Speaker 6: Hang on. She accelerates like a rocket.
Speaker 5: By my stomach. Relay station.
Speaker 4: This is Gaines, got me Davidson's senior watch officers.
Speaker 5: The mayor wants to talk.
Speaker 6: I haven't got time.
Speaker 4: Get me Davidson and leave this circuit hooked into Davidson's
board until I tell you to cut it.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, here is the senior watch officer.
Speaker 4: Davidson Gaines calling. Have you found out yet what's stopping
the roads?
Speaker 5: No, sir, it's still a mystery to me.
Speaker 4: All right, I'm on my way in a recon car
Hold everything till I get there. Cadet Edmunds reporting, Sir.
Speaker 11: Three platoons of Cadet engineers standing by with tumblebug motorcycle,
armed pistols and tear gases.
Speaker 6: Orders. Assistant Supervisor Van Cleek is calling you on circuit
Nincer and Cleek. It's about time cut me in. Yes, sir,
Hello Van, where are you?
Speaker 5: Sacramento?
Speaker 6: Sacramento. That's good report and.
Speaker 5: I'm not your deputy anymore. Game.
Speaker 6: What are you talking about?
Speaker 12: Listen, don't interrupt and you'll find out. Go through Gains.
I haven't picked as director of the Engineer's Control Committee.
We're taking over.
Speaker 6: Who you gone off your roller?
Speaker 5: We stopped Strip twenty just to give you a taste
of what we can do.
Speaker 4: We're running things now, and you don't really think you
can get away with this.
Speaker 5: You can't start Strip twenty until I'm ready to let you.
I can stop the whole.
Speaker 6: Road if I have to pick out calling the army.
Speaker 5: How'd you get him here? If the roads aren't rolling?
Speaker 12: Alison Gaines, whoever controls the roads controls the country right now?
That happens to be me? Sign off, Gains gotta call
the White House. You behave yourself and you won't get hurt.
Speaker 6: I don't believe it. Who's got a Edmonds?
Speaker 4: Na win and blast him outom erect the road?
Speaker 6: What's your rolling? Tones?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 11: Fifty under evening pison? How about Strip twenty almost evacuated?
Listening on this, Davidson stounding Bajie. I'm going down inside
with these cadets. Will work, not overcoming any resistance that
we may meet. The watch technicians and maintenance crews are
to follow behind us. Each order as they come to
it is to be cut out from under Sacramento's control,
then hooked into the stock and control board.
Speaker 6: Understand, got it?
Speaker 4: If it works right, we can move control of Sacramento
sector right out on the Avant's feet and he can
stay in his office dead.
Speaker 6: He is hungry enough to be reasonable. That means get
me a pistol. Yes, a man? He him?
Speaker 9: What's see?
Speaker 6: I haven't got time sector huh? Bring him in? All right?
Speaker 4: Easy, mister Harvey from the Mechanics Union, aren't you?
Speaker 6: I tried to warn you. They tried to get away.
He shot me three times. Get a doctor, all right,
here's the hobby. How long has this been building up?
It's it's the engineers. I told him they re grease
to the road's got a roll?
Speaker 4: I tried to get away.
Speaker 6: There he's bleeding from the mountain. Harvey, Harvey, can you
hear me? He's dead? Mister Gaines better move.
Speaker 4: Hey? All right, you men, you saw Harvey brought in.
How many of you want a chance to kill the
last that did it? Very well, you men, turning your
weapons and return to quarters. We've got a job to
do to make sure the roads start rolling again. We
haven't got time for infant tyler roics. Anybody who hasn't
got his mind on his job will be in the way.
Now here's the order. We move north, mounted on tumblebugs
are going to try to regain control roller by Roda
before Sacramento sector nose.
Speaker 6: We're moving.
Speaker 4: We've got to capture any what person how we run
on before they can get word back. Surprise is vital.
You take ass when possible, shoot only when necessary, but
keet them before they can reach a phone jack. Any questions,
no and move out.
Speaker 11: Much score Edmunds thirty three prisoners So far nobody kills what.
Speaker 4: Yes, since I rode one of these tumble bugs, gott
how to stare it.
Speaker 5: So there's a man ahead there at the road of base.
Speaker 6: Set a phone jacked in orry. He gets word back
by sunk.
Speaker 4: I don't think he's seen us.
Speaker 6: I'll dismount him.
Speaker 4: Get him quick.
Speaker 5: He sees us here are you look?
Speaker 4: God, he's got a gun.
Speaker 6: I got him grab his gun.
Speaker 4: Yes, you got a phone jack in all right, they
got through the sacramental office.
Speaker 5: It is going to be tough.
Speaker 6: I don't know, sir.
Speaker 4: Maybe you didn't get the call through.
Speaker 6: Wait a minute, listen the road.
Speaker 4: Take off your eye feller. Hey the road the road
is stopping. Halt your man. Hold Hold up there, Hold up, there's.
Speaker 6: A riconcalk coming up.
Speaker 11: Relay station.
Speaker 4: Call from mister Games. Give it to me.
Speaker 6: Thanks here Davidson here, Chief.
Speaker 5: Then Click's calling you?
Speaker 4: Who stopped the road? Heat it all right?
Speaker 6: Cut Bank?
Speaker 4: Click?
Speaker 6: Enemy?
Speaker 5: You thought I was fooling? Huh, Gains? What do you
think now?
Speaker 6: All right? Van, the road has stopped. You won this trick?
Speaker 5: And why don't you get smart and give up? You
can't win.
Speaker 4: You forgot something banned. You can't lick the whole country, Gains.
Speaker 5: I've got a switch button in my hand.
Speaker 12: If I push it, it'll blow three hundred yards straight
across the roads. And then, for good measure, I'll take
an axe and wreck the control station before I leave.
Speaker 6: That's pretty drastic, man.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 12: If I blow this charge in the middle of Sacramento Sector,
it'll get an awful lot of people. There are plenty
of shopkeepers still on Strip twenty, and that row of
apartment houses.
Speaker 6: Next to the road will gook.
Speaker 4: Man, you don't want to blow the road, neither do
I Suppose I come up to your headquarters and talk
this over. Two reasonable men are to be able to
make a settlement.
Speaker 5: Is this some kind of a trick.
Speaker 4: I'll come alone and unarmed. My men will stay here.
Speaker 5: I hi gains, one wrong move and I blow the road.
Speaker 6: We've got a hurry, Dave.
Speaker 4: I take too long, van Klik will get at you
and set.
Speaker 6: Off that charge.
Speaker 4: Failure report notes one strips must be cross connected with
safety interlocks, so that when one dies, the other slow down.
Speaker 6: Two the men.
Speaker 9: I can't understand it. Pych tests are rigid. We've never
had a failure in the Hammad's work Burton method. And
then suddenly a whole sector goes soured. How could van
Clik get a whole crew of psyche cleared men.
Speaker 6: To revolt easy?
Speaker 4: Dave is my deputy was ex officio personnel officer for
the whole road. He must have been taking psych records
for years and transferring maladjusted men into his sector.
Speaker 5: I've got that personnel record, mister.
Speaker 4: Gaines Man's record asked introverord imperiority rating seven comment. Despite
a potential instability shown on Wadsworth curve, this officers especially a.
Speaker 6: Depth in handling men. He's a depth door right. I
haven't got time for anymore, Dave.
Speaker 5: You're not going up to the Sacramento.
Speaker 6: I've got to He'll be armed, he'll kill you. I've
got to take that chance un armed.
Speaker 5: Why don't you call in the army?
Speaker 4: He won't dare blow the road, Yes, he would, look
at that psych record. He's putting up a big, brave front,
but he's rotten inside. He wants to be taken seriously.
He wants everybody to think he's the most dangerous man
in the country. And if I call the army and
he'll try to prove it by blowing the road, how
can you stop in?
Speaker 6: Mister Gaines?
Speaker 5: You have a gun?
Speaker 6: What do you have? We'll I have only a prayer
and what I know about mister van Cleek?
Speaker 9: All right, games, Director Van Cleek will see you now, Hm,
Games is here, Director.
Speaker 10: Bank click, come in. Gaines behaving sensibly at last. You
know I've got you where I want you and there
is anything you can do about it.
Speaker 6: I searched them. Director, he's unarmed. I want you to
sign this now.
Speaker 13: It's a declaration of your recognition of the Engineer's Control Committee.
Speaker 6: You've got one minute to sign it. Gains. I'll push
this button and go up the whole sector. You better sign, Gains.
You hear this Corolla with the gun?
Speaker 4: Van Hey, you need to handle one on armed man alone?
Speaker 13: All right, Harry out? Yeah, okay, all right, now sign
that's so funny you are.
Speaker 4: You start a revolution because you think the engineer should
control the road, Then when you've got control, the only
thing you can think of to do is blow it up.
Speaker 6: Tell me, why are you so scared?
Speaker 5: I'm not scared.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sitting in there, sweating all over that push button
you're holding. Your buddies knew how afraid you were. They'd
probably throw you into the roads.
Speaker 6: I'm not afraid. You're afraid of me right now. You're
afraid I'll have you on the carpet. You're afraid the
cadets won't saloat you.
Speaker 4: You're afraid they're laughing at you behind your back.
Speaker 6: No, no, I'm not now, now you keep quiet.
Speaker 5: I've got a gun.
Speaker 4: You're afraid of using the wrong fuck at dinner. You're
afraid people are looking at you, laughing at you. I
am not you.
Speaker 5: You, you dirty, stuck up snob.
Speaker 7: Just because you went to a high hat school, you
didn't get better than anybody.
Speaker 4: You your cribby little doll.
Speaker 6: Braid that man.
Speaker 4: You're a pathetic little shrimp. I understand you perfectly. You're
a third rider. All your life, you've been afraid that
someone would say throw you and send you to the
foot of the class.
Speaker 6: Throw you right out on your ear where you belong.
I don't want to look at you. I'll show you
that pop gun before you hurt yourself.
Speaker 4: Don't you don't you come bar mer suit?
Speaker 5: What do you.
Speaker 4: Let me go that pistol?
Speaker 6: Thanks for not disappointing me, man, mm hmm h m hm.
I don't understand.
Speaker 4: I thought of I wounded your little lego, you'd forget
to push that button and pull a trigger instead. I'm
afraid you'll never make a good executive man. They have
to know when to push buttons. David James, are you
all right? I'm all right, Attack now and map up
all the control room. I've got Van Klick, and I
think his little revolution is just about over. Hear them, um,
watch them run?
Speaker 6: Oh my job.
Speaker 4: He's never done for our wrong ways?
Speaker 13: A rolling along?
Speaker 4: Why why?
Speaker 5: Why why we are watching down inside?
Speaker 6: So your roadways keep rolling? Mister gaines Hi, I forgot
about you. Yes, I've been waiting at the sexual office.
He's everything under control rolling.
Speaker 4: Those are the watch engineers going on of the Czech
Sacramento sector, inch by inch, remarkable organization, remarkable hours in chief.
San Diego Circle Rolling Baker Steeve, Fresno, stock.
Speaker 6: Stockton, Stockton. Oh no, that's Trump, mister Gaines. Sure is.
Speaker 4: I promised to meet my wife at Stockton for a show.
She's been waiting there since nine o'clock last night. Dave,
see if you can get up on me. Try the
Sector office, all right, and Dave see if you can
calm her down. Roads must roll. No, No, don't tell
her that. I don't think she had appreciated. She's heard
it too often. I better get going by, Dave. Keep
him rolling.
Speaker 8: Where you go.
Speaker 14: You are about to know that your road go rolling caper,
rolling roadways, rolling caper, rolling roadways rolling.
Speaker 1: You have just heard X minus one, presented by the
National Broadcasting Company in cooperation with Street and Smith, publishers
of Astounding science fiction. Mm hmm, your announcer, Fred Collins.
X minus one was an NBC Radio Network production
