[Prefect gives Sam his best sales smile. He's trained for people trying to talk about things he can't sell them.]
Comrade, colour should be more than nature can produce! More than God alone can offer! More than anything that grows in the mere acidic earth outside! No Comrade, if you want flowers, you want flowers in colours that defy belief! [And now the gesturing begins-] Electric blue Daffodils! Neon orange Poppies! Lime green Roses! Brother, why settle for anything less than the impossible? Why stop at the blandness of the straggling remnants of accidental splices of nature? Why stop at anything less than everything? [Gesture, and did he just spill his Gin? Prefect leans forward to look at where it will have ended up.] Hm. Yes, you should... you should get flowers from the Factory. I used to grow flowers.
[Was there another question? Prefect has a feeling there might have been, but he's wasted enough Gin while talking, so he decides to drink more instead of trying to remember.]
