The Devil Busies Himself

I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the [uncompromisingly] righteous forsaken or their seed begging bread. All day long they are merciful and deal graciously; they lend, and their offspring are blessed. Depart from evil and do good; and you will dwell forever [securely]. For the Lord delights in justice and forsakes not His saints; they are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked [in time] shall be cut off. The mouth of the [uncompromisingly] righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks with justice.

Psalm 37:23-31

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. Amplified Bible, Classic Edition. It only needs a cathedral to be a heavenly city instead of a hellish one. They have found him a job as gatekeeper and timekeeper. He calls the timekeeping brainwork, and says he isn't used to it; and his gate lodge is so splendid that he's ashamed to use the rooms, and skulks in the scullery.

I wanted to see everything I was not intended to see; and Barbara wanted to make the men talk. They call him Dandy Andy and are proud of his being a cunning old rascal; but it's all horribly, frightfully, immorally, unanswerably perfect. Did you see the nursing home!? Have you gone into the insurance fund, the pension fund, the building society, the various applications of co-operation!? Well, have you seen everything? I'm sorry I was called away. Oh, I don't know. Which side wins does not concern us here. At the first trial it has wiped out a fort with three hundred soldiers in it.

Then Cusins sits on the step and buries his face in his hands.

Barbara gravely lays her hand on his shoulder, and he looks up at her in a sort of whimsical desperation]. Well, Stephen, what do you think of the place? A perfect triumph of organization. Frankly, my dear father, I have been a fool: I had no idea of what it all meant—of the wonderful forethought, the power of organization, the administrative capacity, the financial genius, the colossal capital it represents. I have been repeating to myself as I came through your streets "Peace hath her victories no less renowned than War. Well, I cannot help thinking that all this provision for every want of your workmen may sap their independence and weaken their sense of responsibility.

And greatly as we enjoyed our tea at that splendid restaurant—how they gave us all that luxury and cake and jam and cream for threepence I really cannot imagine! Look at the continent, for instance! Are you sure so much pampering is really good for the men's characters? Well you see, my dear boy, when you are organizing civilization you have to make up your mind whether trouble and anxiety are good things or not.

If you decide that they are, then, I take it, you simply don't organize civilization; and there you are, with trouble and anxiety enough to make us all angels! But if you decide the other way, you may as well go through with it.

However, Stephen, our characters are safe here. A sufficient dose of anxiety is always provided by the fact that we may be blown to smithereens at any moment. In separate little sheds, like that one. When one of them blows up, it costs very little; and only the people quite close to it are killed.

Stephen, who is quite close to it, looks at it rather scaredly, and moves away quickly to the cannon. At the same moment the door of the shed is thrown abruptly open; and a foreman in overalls and list slippers comes out on the little landing and holds the door open for Lomax, who appears in the doorway. Nothing's going to happen to you; and I suppose it wouldn't be the end of the world if anything did. A little bit of British pluck is what you want, old chap. LOMAX [lecturing to the company generally] You know, these high explosives don't go off like gunpowder, except when they're in a gun.

When they're spread loose, you can put a match to them without the least risk: Have you ever tried? Not on a large scale, Mr Lomax. Bilton will give you a sample of gun cotton when you are leaving if you ask him. You can experiment with it at home.

Bilton will do nothing of the sort, papa. I suppose it's your business to blow up the Russians and Japs; but you might really stop short of blowing up poor Cholly. To think of all that [indicating the town] being yours! Your ridiculous cannons and that noisy banging foundry may be the Undershaft inheritance; but all that plate and linen, all that furniture and those houses and orchards and gardens belong to us.

They belong to me: Alarmed, he digs his own way out.

Reaching the surface, he finds a deserted world. No bodies are seen at any time in the film. Some discarded newspapers provide an explanation: End Of The World". Ralph later plays tapes at a radio station that an unknown nation had used radioactive isotopes as a weapon, yielding a dust cloud that spread globally and was completely lethal for a five-day period. Travelling to New York City in search of other survivors, he finds the city vacant. Ralph busies himself restoring power to a building where he takes up residence. Just as the loneliness starts to become intolerable, he encounters a second survivor: Sarah Crandall Inger Stevens , a white woman in her twenties.

The two become fast friends, but Ralph grows distant when it becomes clear that Sarah is developing stronger feelings for him. Despite living in a post-apocalyptic world and despite the fact that Sarah seems unconcerned with their racial difference, Ralph cannot overcome the inhibitions instilled in him in a racist American society. Ralph regularly broadcasts on the radio, hoping to contact other people. Eventually, he receives a signal from Europe, indicating there are at least a few other survivors.

Things become vastly more complicated when an ill, white Benson Thacker Mel Ferrer arrives by boat. Ralph and Sarah nurse him back to health, but once he recovers, Ben sets his sights on Sarah and sees Ralph as a rival.
