"Correct, but under such conditions the man has no freedom. He's attached to a pump that sends him air through an india-rubber hose; it's an actual chain that fetters him to the shore, and if we were to be bound in this way to the Nautilus, we couldn't go far either."
-En efecto, pero en esas condiciones el hombre no es libre: está unido a la bomba que le envía el aire por un tubo de goma, verdadera cadena que le amarra a tierra. Si nosotros debiéramos estar así ligados al Nautilus, no podríamos ir muy lejos.
