But seriously, I do wish I had a number. (KATHRYN: You're not a futurist, Jack?) I'm far too futile for that. But I believe in numbers in place of names. (KATHRYN: That's just nonsense, Jack.) It's not nonsense. Numbers are necessary and convenient. Moreover, I for one am entirely in accord with the socialistic idea of the separation of parent and child. ((Rises.)) A School for Socialism is the one thing most needed today--some place a child may be put and not molested by its parents, adopted or otherwise. Each child should have a number, a perfectly reliable number, one that was all his own and inherited from no one.
