Commander Adams:
What is the Id? Dr. Morbius:
[frustrated]
Id, id, id, id, id! [calming down] Dr. Morbius:
It's a... It's an obsolete term. I'm afraid once used to describe the elementary basis of the subconscious mind. Commander Adams:
[to himself]
Monsters from the id... Dr. Morbius:
Huh? Commander Adams:
Monsters from the subconscious. Of course. That's what Doc meant. Morbius. The big machine, 8,000 miles of klystron relays, enough power for a whole population of creative geniuses, operated by remote control. Morbius, operated by the electromagnetic impulses of individual Krell brains. Dr. Morbius:
To what purpose? Commander Adams:
In return, that ultimate machine would instantaneously project solid matter to any point on the planet, In any shape or color they might imagine. For *any* purpose, Morbius! Creation by mere thought. Dr. Morbius:
Why haven't I seen this all along? Commander Adams:
But like you, the Krell forgot one deadly danger - their own subconscious hate and lust for destruction. Dr. Morbius:
The beast. The mindless primitive! Even the Krell must have evolved from that beginning. Commander Adams:
And so those mindless beasts of the subconscious had access to a machine that could never be shut down. The secret devil of every soul on the planet all set free at once to loot and maim. And take revenge, Morbius, and kill! Dr. Morbius:
My poor Krell. After a million years of shining sanity, they could hardly have understood what power was destroying them. [pause] Dr. Morbius:
Yes, young man, all very convincing, but for one obvious fallacy. The last Krell died 2,000 centuries ago. But today, as we all know, there is still at large on this planet a living monster. Commander Adams:
Your mind refuses to face the conclusion. Dr. Morbius:
