Flight to Mars1951

Carol Stafford:
[as Terris is showing off the conveniences of a Martian apartment] What I want to see is the kitchen.

Terris:
The kitchen?

Carol Stafford:
Yes, where food is prepared.

Terris:
Oh, we don't have kitchens. We call it the food laboratory, and we have a large one for each district. You order your food. It is delivered ready to be served.

Carol Stafford:
This is a woman's paradise.

Terris:
As a matter of fact, I assumed you might be hungry and ordered some things for you. They should be here by now. [she presses a button and a caddy full of drinks and food comes out of the wall] Everything is here waiting to be eaten. When you're finished, you just put everything back, close it up, and press this button. That's all there is to it!

Carol Stafford:
No dishwashing?

Terris:
Well, that's all taken care of mechanically.

Carol Stafford:
Terris, I love you!
