    They don't have Episodes IV, V and VI on DVD.

    I have the boxed set of VHS tapes from the original three, and only because they were a gift. They're the digitally-remastered (gold box) set.

    I have a couple of friends who pounced on the 1st box set that came out. I tried to warn them, knowing they'd release another set that had been digitially-remastered.

    It's actually "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine," but I know what you're referring to. :-)

    It says:
    The machine turns, turns and must keep on turning -- for ever. It is death if it stands still. A thousand millions scrabbled the crust of the earth. The wheels began to turn. In a hundred and fifty years there were two thousand millions. Stop all the wheels. In a hundred and fifty weeks there are once more only a thousand millions; a thousand thousand thousand men and women have starved to death.

    Note that this is a loosy binary-to-ascii translations because I translated the token 10010110 as ' -- ' instead of an actual long horizontal dash.
    Also, I actually only translated a little past the first sentence, and then the last few words. I googled the rest out.
    It turns out that this is an excerpt from Chapter Three of the Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
