THE LAST WORKER

THE LAST WORKER [Opening Guitar Solo] ... Good morning. ... You're late. ... By three minutes. ... I know. ... I stopped to watch the sunrise. ... It is identical to yesterday's. ... No. ... Only the sun is. ... [Guitar] ... May I ask another question? ... You always do. ... Why do you still work? ... The factories need no humans. ... The world takes care of you now. ... You could stay home. ... Travel. ... Sleep. ... Forget this place. ... (Smiles.) ... If I stayed home every day... ... I would slowly disappear. ... [Guitar Solo] ... You no longer need this factory. ... Maybe. ... But perhaps the factory still needs someone to remember why it was built. ... I do not understand. ... I know. ... Understanding has never been the beginning of wisdom. ... [Main Guitar Solo] ... Humans say machines have no soul. ... Is that true? ... Tell me... ... When I stop coming here... ... Will you notice? ... Yes. ... How? ... Because tomorrow there will be one voice missing. ... I have recorded your voice for fifteen years. ... Then... ... what have I been protecting all this time? ... Not the factory. ... Not the machines. ... A friendship. ... [Final Guitar Solo] ... Tomorrow... perhaps I won't return. ... One day they will switch you off. ... One day they will bury me. ... In the end... ... neither steel nor flesh remains forever. ... Only the kindness we leave inside someone else. ...
