The Time Machine2002

Uber-Morlock:
We bred ourselves into castes. Some to be our eyes and ears, others to be our muscles and sinews...

Hartdegen:
You mean your hunters?

Uber-Morlock:
Yes. Bred to be predators, but bred also to be controlled. You see, my caste concentrated on expanding our cerebral abilities.

Hartdegen:
You control their thoughts?

Uber-Morlock:
Not just theirs.

Hartdegen:
[realises] The Eloi. So it's not enough that you hunt them down like animals?

Uber-Morlock:
That's their role here.

Hartedegen:
To be your food?!

Uber-Morlock:
Yes. And for those who are suitable, to be breeding vessels for our other colonies. [indicates Mara in her cage] You see, I am just one of many.

Hartdegen:
I don't understand how you can sit there and speak so coldly about this. [the Uber-Morlock rises] Have you not considered the human cost of what it is your are doing?

Uber-Morlock:
We all pay a price...Alexander. [other Morlocks roar in the distance] Don't worry, you're safe. I control them. Without that control, they would exhaust the food supply in a matter of months.

Hartdegen:
Food supply?! They're human beings!

Uber-Morlock:
Who are you to question 800,000 years of evolution?

Hartdegen:
This is a perversion of every natural law!

Uber-Morlock:
[grabs him by the throat] And what is time travel... but your pathetic attempt to control the world around you?! Your futile effort to have a question answered?!
