Brave New World Chapter 15

“Menial”
This means the support staff, or the lower level.

“One hundred and sixty-two Deltas divided into two Bokanovsky Groups of eighty-four red headed female and seventy-eight dark dolychocephalic male twins, respectively.”
This is talking about the history of psychology.

"Soma distribution!" shouted a loud voice. "In good order, please. Hurry up there.. Linda had been a slave, Linda had died; others should live in freedom, and the world be made beautiful. A reparation, a duty. And suddenly it was luminously clear to the Savage what he must do; it was as though a shutter had been opened, a curtain drawn back.. "Stop!" called the Savage in a loud and ringing voice. "Stop!"
He pushed his way to the table; the Deltas stared at him with astonishment.”
When the Alpha yelled, "Soma distribution!" John thought the Alpha was talking about his dead mother.

Lend me your ears …" He had never spoken in public before, and found it very difficult to express what he wanted to say. "Don't take that horrible stuff. It's poison, it's poison."
"Throw it all away, that horrible poison."
The words "Throw it all away" pierced through the enfolding layers of incomprehension to the quick of the Delta's consciousness. An angry murmur went up from the crowd.”
When John told the Deltas to throw the soma away because he thinks it’s poison, but this cause anger towards the Deltas.

"A fellow I know at the Park Lane Hospital," said Helmholtz. "The Savage is there. Seems to have gone mad. Anyhow, it's urgent. Will you come with me?"
Together they hurried along the corridor to the lifts. "I'll teach you; I'll make you be free whether you want to or not." And pushing open a window that looked on to the inner court of the Hospital, he began to throw the little pill-boxes of soma tablets in handfuls out into the area.”
Bernard and Helmholtz get a phone call telling them what the Savage is doing. They hurry to the hospital. They arrive just as the Savage starts dropping soma out the window, causing the Deltas to riot.

"Men at last!"
“Howling, the Deltas charged with a redoubled fury.”
Helmholtz shouts "Men at last!" and runs to help the Savage.

“The policemen pushed him out of the way and got on with their work. Three men with spraying machines buckled to their shoulders pumped thick clouds of soma vapour into the air.”
“Even Helmholtz and the Savage were almost crying.”
"Well …" said Bernard, and hesitated. No, he really couldn't deny it.”
Bernard tried not to get caught from the policeman his plan fail while Helmholtz and John got caught.
