Captain Smek himself appeared on television for an official speech to humankind. {...} 'Noble Savages of Earth,' he said. 'Long time we have tried to live together in peace.' {It had been five months.} 'Long time have the Boov suffered under the hostileness and intolerableness of you people. With sad hearts I now concede that Boov and humans will never to exist as one.' I remember being really excited at this point. Could I possibly be hearing right? Were the Boov about to leave? I was so stupid.
'And so now I generously grant you Human Preserves - gifts of land that will be for humans forever, never to be taken away again, now.' {...} So that's when we Americans were given Florida. One state for three hundred million people. There were going to be some serious lines for the bathrooms.
