Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:42,385 --> 00:00:44,649
Hey, buddy.
2
00:00:44,688 --> 00:00:46,679
You don't waste time, do you?
3
00:00:46,756 --> 00:00:48,383
I try not to.
4
00:00:48,458 --> 00:00:49,755
Well, you need help?
5
00:00:49,793 --> 00:00:50,851
Sure.
6
00:00:54,597 --> 00:00:56,656
Would you like to tell us
7
00:00:56,700 --> 00:00:58,691
what the hell that was all about?
8
00:00:58,768 --> 00:00:59,996
I don't like good-byes.
9
00:01:00,036 --> 00:01:02,834
Kind of the point of
a good-bye party, John.
10
00:01:02,906 --> 00:01:05,397
Went to a certain amount
of trouble, you know?
11
00:01:05,442 --> 00:01:07,910
Could've at least stayed
a few minutes, huh?
12
00:01:07,944 --> 00:01:11,846
Eaten some of the food
we so feverishly prepared?
13
00:01:11,915 --> 00:01:13,405
I apologize, Harry.
14
00:01:13,516 --> 00:01:15,006
But why are you moving so quickly?
15
00:01:15,118 --> 00:01:17,177
You only resigned a couple of days ago.
16
00:01:17,220 --> 00:01:19,279
You got the history chair at Stanford.
17
00:01:19,322 --> 00:01:20,346
I wish.
18
00:01:20,423 --> 00:01:22,550
Well, taquitos, chicken wings,
19
00:01:22,625 --> 00:01:24,456
Roastie-Toasties and beer.
20
00:01:24,527 --> 00:01:26,256
If we'd had more time,
21
00:01:26,329 --> 00:01:28,354
we'd have done something
a little more grandiose.
22
00:01:28,431 --> 00:01:30,126
Candlelight dinner at McDonald's.
23
00:01:30,166 --> 00:01:31,656
Strippers.
24
00:01:31,735 --> 00:01:33,532
Taquitos are fine.
25
00:01:33,570 --> 00:01:35,435
A'right.
26
00:01:35,538 --> 00:01:37,233
Art's gonna be along, too.
27
00:01:37,340 --> 00:01:39,069
He's, uh, talking to a student. Pfft.
28
00:01:39,142 --> 00:01:40,939
Is George taking over for you?
29
00:01:41,044 --> 00:01:43,672
- George or Trimbell.
- Has the dean made up his mind?
30
00:01:43,747 --> 00:01:44,771
He hasn't called.
31
00:01:44,848 --> 00:01:45,780
My god!
32
00:01:45,849 --> 00:01:47,248
Wh-What is this?
33
00:01:47,283 --> 00:01:48,545
It looks like a Van Gogh,
34
00:01:48,585 --> 00:01:50,018
But I've never seen it before.
35
00:01:50,053 --> 00:01:51,452
Is that an original, John?
36
00:01:51,488 --> 00:01:53,786
No, it's just a gift someone gave me.
37
00:01:53,857 --> 00:01:55,791
Still, it's a superb copy.
38
00:01:55,859 --> 00:01:57,759
Contemporaneous, I think,
39
00:01:57,794 --> 00:01:59,694
May I take a closer look?
40
00:01:59,763 --> 00:02:00,730
Please, yeah.
41
00:02:02,999 --> 00:02:05,559
Yeah, it's the same
stretcher as Van Gogh used.
42
00:02:05,602 --> 00:02:08,162
Yeah, there's writing
on the back in French.
43
00:02:08,204 --> 00:02:10,604
Oh, "to my friend Jacques Borne."
44
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:11,800
Wonder who that was?
45
00:02:11,908 --> 00:02:13,307
Someone he knew, I guess.
46
00:02:13,410 --> 00:02:15,002
Brilliant deduction, Sherlock.
47
00:02:15,078 --> 00:02:17,979
Surely you'll have this
looked at, appraised?
48
00:02:18,014 --> 00:02:19,948
Well, maybe sometime,
49
00:02:20,016 --> 00:02:23,247
but I wouldn't really want money for it.
50
00:02:24,754 --> 00:02:26,915
That does it.
51
00:02:27,023 --> 00:02:28,820
Put that stuff in the kitchen.
52
00:02:28,858 --> 00:02:32,350
No, I'm gonna put it
in the bathroom, John.
53
00:02:32,429 --> 00:02:34,624
Gas is off, electricity's on.
54
00:02:36,332 --> 00:02:37,822
Get comfortable while you can.
55
00:02:37,934 --> 00:02:40,402
The furniture's going this afternoon.
56
00:02:40,437 --> 00:02:42,905
It's been years since I sat on a floor.
57
00:02:42,939 --> 00:02:44,839
Heh. I can't remember her name.
58
00:02:44,874 --> 00:02:46,466
Eh, it's good for the back.
59
00:02:46,543 --> 00:02:48,374
Can we do yoga exercises?
60
00:02:48,445 --> 00:02:50,242
Tantric yoga, we can.
61
00:02:51,648 --> 00:02:54,208
So you're leaving
good old "we teach you."
62
00:02:54,250 --> 00:02:57,276
Rather suddenly, you must admit.
63
00:02:57,353 --> 00:02:58,945
Truth time, John.
64
00:02:58,988 --> 00:03:00,546
Is there a problem?
65
00:03:00,590 --> 00:03:01,887
No.
66
00:03:01,991 --> 00:03:04,118
Oh, come on, you know we wanna help.
67
00:03:04,194 --> 00:03:06,321
That's appreciated, but really-
68
00:03:06,396 --> 00:03:08,364
There's no problem.
69
00:03:08,398 --> 00:03:09,956
Well, now I am curious.
70
00:03:09,999 --> 00:03:11,261
Where are you going?
71
00:03:11,301 --> 00:03:12,495
Givin' up tenure...
72
00:03:12,602 --> 00:03:14,502
A decade of professorship,
73
00:03:14,604 --> 00:03:16,936
in line to chair the department,
74
00:03:17,006 --> 00:03:19,839
and you don't know where you're going?
75
00:03:19,909 --> 00:03:21,308
Call it cabin fever.
76
00:03:21,344 --> 00:03:23,835
After a while, I get itchy feet.
77
00:03:23,913 --> 00:03:25,107
I've done this before.
78
00:03:25,215 --> 00:03:28,241
No, no, no, you're too young
to have done this before.
79
00:03:28,318 --> 00:03:30,548
And he hasn't aged a day in ten years.
80
00:03:30,620 --> 00:03:32,053
Every woman on the faculty
81
00:03:32,122 --> 00:03:34,647
would give anything to have that secret.
82
00:03:34,724 --> 00:03:36,282
Is that what they're after, Edith?
83
00:03:36,326 --> 00:03:37,953
Oh, stop, Harry.
84
00:03:40,763 --> 00:03:42,355
Wow, can you pull this?
85
00:03:44,134 --> 00:03:45,362
What the hell?
86
00:03:45,435 --> 00:03:46,697
What do you hunt?
87
00:03:46,736 --> 00:03:47,930
Deer, mostly.
88
00:03:47,971 --> 00:03:49,131
Around big bear.
89
00:03:49,172 --> 00:03:50,537
With a bow and arrow?
90
00:03:50,573 --> 00:03:52,268
Most people can't bag a deer
91
00:03:52,342 --> 00:03:54,333
with a rifle and a telescopic sight.
92
00:03:54,377 --> 00:03:55,935
Though, good eatin'.
93
00:03:55,979 --> 00:03:57,469
The best wild game.
94
00:03:57,547 --> 00:03:59,105
Lives naturally, eats naturally.
95
00:03:59,149 --> 00:04:00,616
Well, it's beautiful.
96
00:04:03,786 --> 00:04:05,481
Art.
97
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:08,782
Ah.
98
00:04:08,825 --> 00:04:12,090
So, can I get an "a" for awesome?
99
00:04:12,128 --> 00:04:13,117
Oh, my gosh.
100
00:04:14,430 --> 00:04:15,897
That was fun.
101
00:04:15,932 --> 00:04:17,331
Hey, John.
102
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,834
You know Linda.
You had her last semester.
103
00:04:19,903 --> 00:04:21,200
Hi. Hey.
104
00:04:21,237 --> 00:04:23,137
She's one of my victims now.
I'm taking her home.
105
00:04:23,206 --> 00:04:25,037
She wanted to come by
and say hello good-bye.
106
00:04:25,108 --> 00:04:26,507
Is Art as tough as I hear?
107
00:04:26,543 --> 00:04:27,908
Oh, archaeology's tough.
108
00:04:27,944 --> 00:04:29,935
Dr. Jenkins is a fine teacher.
109
00:04:30,013 --> 00:04:31,947
Oh, that's very politic.
110
00:04:32,015 --> 00:04:33,505
It's very true. Uh-huh.
111
00:04:33,550 --> 00:04:36,018
Something for you to
read on the road, pal.
112
00:04:36,052 --> 00:04:38,953
"Shadows of the cave:
parallels to early man."
113
00:04:39,022 --> 00:04:40,387
M. Jenkins.
114
00:04:40,423 --> 00:04:41,583
Publish or perish.
115
00:04:41,624 --> 00:04:42,716
I'd rather read
116
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:43,851
than write another one.
117
00:04:43,927 --> 00:04:45,758
Thank you.
118
00:04:45,828 --> 00:04:47,022
Hi.
119
00:04:47,130 --> 00:04:49,325
Oh, everybody, this is Linda.
120
00:04:49,365 --> 00:04:51,595
Linda, this is everybody.
121
00:04:51,634 --> 00:04:53,158
Linda. Hi.
122
00:04:53,236 --> 00:04:55,431
So.
123
00:04:55,471 --> 00:04:57,962
Where you going, John,
like we give a damn?
124
00:04:58,041 --> 00:04:59,167
We've already covered that.
125
00:04:59,242 --> 00:05:01,574
John's got itchy feet.
126
00:05:01,611 --> 00:05:03,909
There are over-the-counter
remedies for that, John.
127
00:05:06,883 --> 00:05:08,180
So there is a problem.
128
00:05:08,218 --> 00:05:09,981
No.
129
00:05:10,019 --> 00:05:12,317
I just like to move on now and then.
130
00:05:12,388 --> 00:05:13,685
It's a personal thing.
131
00:05:15,191 --> 00:05:17,182
Well, not to pry.
132
00:05:24,734 --> 00:05:27,601
I'm sorry I don't
have more to offer you.
133
00:05:27,637 --> 00:05:30,162
Got conversation, some
seats for your behinds,
134
00:05:30,206 --> 00:05:31,230
And, uh...
135
00:05:35,011 --> 00:05:37,502
Is he ducking out on us again?
136
00:05:38,948 --> 00:05:40,609
...I do have this.
137
00:05:40,650 --> 00:05:45,246
Oh ho ho! Johnny Walker green!
138
00:05:45,321 --> 00:05:48,085
Didn't even
know they made it in green.
139
00:05:48,124 --> 00:05:49,523
What do they pay you?
140
00:05:49,626 --> 00:05:51,526
Nothing is too good for my friends.
141
00:05:51,561 --> 00:05:54,530
But I'm sorry -
we are down to plastic cups now.
142
00:05:54,564 --> 00:05:56,532
That's a sacrilege I'll tolerate.
143
00:05:56,566 --> 00:05:58,193
I will do the honors.
144
00:05:58,234 --> 00:05:59,861
Oh, come to papa.
145
00:06:01,404 --> 00:06:02,894
Ooh! Here, cups, cups.
146
00:06:02,972 --> 00:06:03,961
There we go.
147
00:06:04,007 --> 00:06:05,099
Step on in here.
148
00:06:05,174 --> 00:06:06,163
There ya go...
149
00:06:06,209 --> 00:06:08,677
One for the birthday boy
- Excuse me. Art?
150
00:06:08,711 --> 00:06:09,769
No, not for me.
151
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:11,176
Oh, no, I don't drink.
152
00:06:11,281 --> 00:06:13,272
We're not
gonna card you, darling.
153
00:06:13,316 --> 00:06:15,307
All right, here, join
the circle at least.
154
00:06:15,385 --> 00:06:20,015
Well, to long life and good fortune
155
00:06:20,089 --> 00:06:21,579
To our esteemed friend
156
00:06:21,624 --> 00:06:23,524
and colleague, John Oldman.
157
00:06:23,593 --> 00:06:25,458
May he find undeserved bliss
158
00:06:25,495 --> 00:06:26,689
wherever he goes.
159
00:06:26,729 --> 00:06:27,696
Hear, hear.
160
00:06:27,730 --> 00:06:29,595
Skol. Na zdorovye.
161
00:06:29,632 --> 00:06:31,497
One off the top, John.
162
00:06:36,606 --> 00:06:38,335
Mm! Oh, that's good.
163
00:06:38,408 --> 00:06:39,534
Excuse me.
164
00:06:41,744 --> 00:06:45,145
John, we're all sorry to see you go.
165
00:06:45,214 --> 00:06:46,238
Truly.
166
00:06:48,751 --> 00:06:50,810
Okay. Now we're done with that,
167
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,888
what do we do for the
rest of the afternoon?
168
00:06:52,922 --> 00:06:54,685
Anyone got a good topic?
169
00:06:54,724 --> 00:06:56,487
Like this, maybe? Heh.
170
00:06:56,526 --> 00:06:57,515
What is that?
171
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,222
It's a burin off a parrot beak.
172
00:07:00,263 --> 00:07:02,060
Inclined chisel point...
173
00:07:02,098 --> 00:07:04,123
Probably early Magdalenian.
174
00:07:04,167 --> 00:07:06,158
May I see that?
Sure.
175
00:07:12,275 --> 00:07:14,004
Yes indeed, that's what it is.
176
00:07:15,278 --> 00:07:16,404
What's a burin?
177
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:18,071
A burin is a flint tool
178
00:07:18,181 --> 00:07:20,706
for grooving wood and
bone, antlers especially,
179
00:07:20,783 --> 00:07:23,217
to make spear and harpoon points.
180
00:07:23,286 --> 00:07:25,277
Magdalenians weren't
noted for flint work,
181
00:07:25,321 --> 00:07:27,050
so this is a very nice specimen.
182
00:07:27,090 --> 00:07:29,558
Okay, what's a Magdalenian?
183
00:07:29,592 --> 00:07:30,991
A later Cro-Magnon,
184
00:07:31,027 --> 00:07:32,289
without gettin' technical.
185
00:07:32,395 --> 00:07:35,489
It's the final culture
of the upper Paleolithic.
186
00:07:35,531 --> 00:07:37,294
If stones could speak, eh, Art?
187
00:07:37,333 --> 00:07:39,028
So where'd you get that, John?
188
00:07:39,102 --> 00:07:41,627
Believe it or not, from a thrift shop.
A quarter.
189
00:07:41,704 --> 00:07:43,194
You lucky dog!
190
00:07:43,306 --> 00:07:45,536
I gotta go digging
for this kind of stuff.
191
00:07:45,608 --> 00:07:46,734
Can I, uh...?
192
00:07:46,809 --> 00:07:47,798
Yeah.
193
00:07:51,214 --> 00:07:52,340
Huh.
194
00:07:57,420 --> 00:07:59,047
Maybe...
195
00:07:59,122 --> 00:08:00,589
I'm glad you did this.
196
00:08:00,656 --> 00:08:03,454
Did what? You mean come over?
197
00:08:03,493 --> 00:08:05,154
Maybe?
198
00:08:05,261 --> 00:08:06,489
Definitely.
199
00:08:06,562 --> 00:08:07,859
Gee, thanks.
200
00:08:07,897 --> 00:08:09,194
Well, so are we.
201
00:08:09,265 --> 00:08:10,596
So are we.
202
00:08:10,666 --> 00:08:12,793
We couldn't let you just run off.
203
00:08:12,869 --> 00:08:13,995
Thanks.
204
00:08:16,072 --> 00:08:17,767
John, what is up, huh?
205
00:08:17,874 --> 00:08:19,341
Are you on America's most wanted?
206
00:08:19,375 --> 00:08:20,467
We won't turn you in.
207
00:08:20,576 --> 00:08:21,907
Yeah, come on, out with it.
208
00:08:21,978 --> 00:08:22,910
You're among friends.
209
00:08:22,979 --> 00:08:24,173
Snoopy friends.
210
00:08:24,213 --> 00:08:25,180
Forget it.
211
00:08:25,281 --> 00:08:26,873
You are creating the mystery here.
212
00:08:26,916 --> 00:08:29,214
Obviously, you have something
you'd like to say. Say it!
213
00:08:30,887 --> 00:08:32,479
Well, maybe I...
214
00:08:33,623 --> 00:08:34,851
Ten, nine, eight, seven...
215
00:08:34,891 --> 00:08:35,915
Harry, stop.
216
00:08:37,427 --> 00:08:40,294
There is something I'm
tempted to tell you, I think.
217
00:08:40,329 --> 00:08:43,924
I've never done this before,
and I wonder how it'll pan out.
218
00:08:47,103 --> 00:08:49,401
I wonder if I could ask
you a silly question.
219
00:08:49,439 --> 00:08:50,406
John, we're teachers.
220
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,374
We answer silly questions all the time.
221
00:08:52,408 --> 00:08:53,432
Hey!
222
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:57,172
What if a man from the upper Paleolithic
223
00:08:57,213 --> 00:08:59,010
survived until the present day?
224
00:08:59,048 --> 00:09:00,743
What do you mean, survived?
225
00:09:00,783 --> 00:09:02,045
Never died?
226
00:09:02,118 --> 00:09:04,177
Yes. What would he be like?
227
00:09:04,253 --> 00:09:05,686
Well, I know some guys.
228
00:09:05,755 --> 00:09:07,552
You ever been to the Ozarks?
229
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:09,353
It's an interesting idea.
230
00:09:09,392 --> 00:09:11,883
What, are you working on
a science fiction story?
231
00:09:11,961 --> 00:09:14,156
Say I am. What would he be like?
232
00:09:14,197 --> 00:09:15,459
Pretty tired.
233
00:09:17,366 --> 00:09:19,095
Well, seriously,
234
00:09:19,168 --> 00:09:21,329
As Art's book title suggests,
235
00:09:21,370 --> 00:09:23,497
he might be like any of us.
236
00:09:23,573 --> 00:09:24,767
Dan. A caveman?
237
00:09:24,874 --> 00:09:26,637
Well, there's no anatomical difference
238
00:09:26,676 --> 00:09:28,405
between, say, a Cro-Magnon and us.
239
00:09:28,478 --> 00:09:30,878
Except that as a rule,
we've grown taller.
240
00:09:30,913 --> 00:09:33,211
What's the selective
advantage of height?
241
00:09:33,282 --> 00:09:36,012
Better to see predators
in tall grass, my dear.
242
00:09:36,085 --> 00:09:38,280
Actually, tall and skinny
243
00:09:38,387 --> 00:09:41,220
radiates heat more
effectively in warmer climates.
244
00:09:41,290 --> 00:09:42,484
And as for neanderthals,
245
00:09:42,592 --> 00:09:44,253
I mean, we've all seen apish people.
246
00:09:44,293 --> 00:09:45,487
That strain's still with us.
247
00:09:45,528 --> 00:09:47,621
But he'd be a caveman.
248
00:09:47,697 --> 00:09:48,629
No, he wouldn't.
249
00:09:48,698 --> 00:09:49,687
John's hypothetical man
250
00:09:49,732 --> 00:09:51,495
would have lived
through 140 centuries...
251
00:09:51,534 --> 00:09:52,899
Yeah, roughly.
252
00:09:52,935 --> 00:09:55,301
...and changed with every one of them.
253
00:09:55,338 --> 00:09:57,636
I mean, assuming normal intelligence.
254
00:09:57,707 --> 00:10:00,175
Well, we think men of
the upper Paleolithic
255
00:10:00,209 --> 00:10:02,040
were as intelligent as we are.
256
00:10:02,111 --> 00:10:03,806
They just didn't know as much.
257
00:10:03,913 --> 00:10:06,848
John's man would have
learned as the race learned.
258
00:10:06,916 --> 00:10:10,010
In fact, if he had an inquiring mind,
259
00:10:10,052 --> 00:10:13,112
his knowledge might be astonishing.
260
00:10:13,155 --> 00:10:15,419
If you do write that,
let me have a look at it.
261
00:10:15,458 --> 00:10:17,653
I'm sure you'll make some
anthropological boners.
262
00:10:17,727 --> 00:10:18,751
It's a deal.
263
00:10:18,828 --> 00:10:20,659
What would keep him alive?
264
00:10:20,730 --> 00:10:22,527
What does the biologist say?
265
00:10:22,565 --> 00:10:24,157
Cigarettes.
266
00:10:24,233 --> 00:10:26,030
And ice cream.
267
00:10:26,068 --> 00:10:28,127
All right, all right, I'll play.
268
00:10:28,237 --> 00:10:31,900
All right, um, in science fiction terms,
269
00:10:31,941 --> 00:10:33,568
I would say...
270
00:10:35,144 --> 00:10:38,910
Perfect regeneration
of the body's cells,
271
00:10:38,948 --> 00:10:41,041
especially in the vital organs.
272
00:10:41,083 --> 00:10:42,948
Actually, the human
body appears designed
273
00:10:42,985 --> 00:10:45,044
to live about 190 years.
274
00:10:45,087 --> 00:10:48,921
Most of us just die of slow poisoning.
275
00:10:48,958 --> 00:10:50,448
Maybe he did something right,
276
00:10:50,493 --> 00:10:53,792
something everybody else
in history had done wrong.
277
00:10:53,863 --> 00:10:55,194
What, like eat the food,
278
00:10:55,264 --> 00:10:57,255
drink the water, and breathe the air?
279
00:10:57,300 --> 00:10:59,234
Prior to modern times,
280
00:10:59,268 --> 00:11:01,099
those were pristine.
281
00:11:01,137 --> 00:11:05,597
We've extended our lifespan
in a world that's, uh...
282
00:11:05,641 --> 00:11:07,506
not fit to live in.
283
00:11:07,543 --> 00:11:09,010
You know, it could happen.
284
00:11:09,045 --> 00:11:11,343
The pancreas turns over
cells every 24 hours,
285
00:11:11,414 --> 00:11:12,972
the stomach lining in three days,
286
00:11:13,015 --> 00:11:14,573
the entire body in seven years,
287
00:11:14,617 --> 00:11:16,107
but the process falters.
288
00:11:16,218 --> 00:11:18,982
Waste accumulates, eventually
proves fatal to function.
289
00:11:19,021 --> 00:11:21,649
Now if a quirk in his immune system
290
00:11:21,724 --> 00:11:23,419
led to perfect detox,
291
00:11:23,459 --> 00:11:25,427
perfect renewal, then yeah.
292
00:11:25,461 --> 00:11:27,656
He could duck decay.
293
00:11:27,730 --> 00:11:29,960
Mm, that's a secret
we'd all love to have.
294
00:11:30,032 --> 00:11:32,933
Would you really want to do that?
295
00:11:32,969 --> 00:11:34,834
Live 14,000 years?
296
00:11:34,937 --> 00:11:37,667
Well, if I could stay
healthy and I didn't age,
297
00:11:37,740 --> 00:11:38,832
I mean, why not?
298
00:11:38,941 --> 00:11:41,068
Yeah. What a chance to learn.
299
00:11:41,143 --> 00:11:43,941
Is anyone hungry?
300
00:11:43,980 --> 00:11:46,847
You know, the more I think
about it, yeah, it's possible.
301
00:11:46,882 --> 00:11:48,440
Anything is possible, right?
302
00:11:48,484 --> 00:11:51,749
After all, one century's magic,
another century's science.
303
00:11:51,787 --> 00:11:53,914
They thought Columbus
was a nut job, right?
304
00:11:53,956 --> 00:11:54,980
Pasteur, Copernicus?
305
00:11:55,057 --> 00:11:56,684
Aristarchus long before that.
306
00:11:56,759 --> 00:11:57,783
Right.
307
00:11:57,860 --> 00:12:00,090
I had a chance to sail with Columbus,
308
00:12:00,129 --> 00:12:02,495
Only I'm not the adventurous type.
309
00:12:02,531 --> 00:12:05,466
I was pretty sure the Earth was round,
310
00:12:05,501 --> 00:12:08,231
but at that point, I still thought
311
00:12:08,304 --> 00:12:11,000
he might fall off an edge someplace...
312
00:12:20,950 --> 00:12:23,316
Look around, John.
313
00:12:23,352 --> 00:12:24,717
We just did.
314
00:12:24,754 --> 00:12:27,120
I suppose there's a
joke in there somewhere,
315
00:12:27,156 --> 00:12:28,418
but I don't get it.
316
00:12:28,457 --> 00:12:30,322
There's nothing to get.
317
00:12:30,359 --> 00:12:32,122
What are we talking about?
318
00:12:32,228 --> 00:12:34,093
We were just talking about a caveman
319
00:12:34,130 --> 00:12:36,496
who survives until the present time.
320
00:12:36,532 --> 00:12:38,864
As you said, what a chance to learn,
321
00:12:38,934 --> 00:12:40,333
once I learned to learn.
322
00:12:42,538 --> 00:12:44,529
Did you start the whiskey
before we got here?
323
00:12:46,575 --> 00:12:49,510
Pretend it's science fiction.
324
00:12:49,545 --> 00:12:51,274
Figure it out.
325
00:12:51,347 --> 00:12:55,841
Okay, a-
- Very old Cro-Magnon
326
00:12:55,885 --> 00:12:57,443
living until the present.
327
00:12:59,989 --> 00:13:00,921
Oh!
328
00:13:05,194 --> 00:13:07,185
What?
329
00:13:07,296 --> 00:13:10,163
John just confided that
he's 14,000 years old.
330
00:13:10,199 --> 00:13:13,794
Oh, John, you don't look a day over 900.
331
00:13:13,836 --> 00:13:15,030
Okay, okay.
332
00:13:15,104 --> 00:13:16,833
All right, Spock, I'll
play your little game.
333
00:13:16,906 --> 00:13:19,534
What do you want? What's the punch line?
334
00:13:19,608 --> 00:13:22,236
Every ten years or so, when people start
335
00:13:22,311 --> 00:13:24,006
to notice I don't age, I move on.
336
00:13:26,615 --> 00:13:29,015
That's very good,
that's very quick, John.
337
00:13:29,051 --> 00:13:31,451
I wanna read that
story when you're done.
338
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:32,953
You want more?
339
00:13:33,022 --> 00:13:34,887
By all means. This is great.
340
00:13:34,924 --> 00:13:35,913
All right, now...
341
00:13:37,026 --> 00:13:39,620
So you think that you are a...
342
00:13:39,662 --> 00:13:40,720
A, uh, Cro-Magnon.
343
00:13:40,763 --> 00:13:42,321
Well, I didn't learn it in school.
344
00:13:42,364 --> 00:13:44,025
That's my best guess,
345
00:13:44,133 --> 00:13:48,570
based on archaeological data,
maps, anthropological research.
346
00:13:48,637 --> 00:13:49,934
Since Mesopotamia,
347
00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:53,167
I've got the last...
4,000 years straight.
348
00:13:53,242 --> 00:13:56,336
You're ahead of most
people, so please, go on.
349
00:13:56,378 --> 00:13:57,936
Well, you know the background stuff,
350
00:13:57,980 --> 00:13:59,379
so I'll make it brief.
351
00:13:59,448 --> 00:14:01,848
In what I call my first lifetime,
352
00:14:01,884 --> 00:14:03,579
I aged to about 35...
353
00:14:03,619 --> 00:14:05,211
what you see.
354
00:14:05,287 --> 00:14:07,414
I ended up leading my group.
355
00:14:07,490 --> 00:14:09,287
They saw me as magical.
356
00:14:09,325 --> 00:14:12,317
I didn't even have to fight for it.
357
00:14:12,394 --> 00:14:15,261
Then fear came, and they chased me away.
358
00:14:15,297 --> 00:14:16,787
They thought that I was
359
00:14:16,832 --> 00:14:19,164
stealing their lives away to stay young.
360
00:14:19,201 --> 00:14:21,499
The prehistoric origin
of the vampire myth.
361
00:14:21,537 --> 00:14:22,435
That is good!
362
00:14:22,505 --> 00:14:23,494
First thousand years,
363
00:14:23,606 --> 00:14:25,631
I didn't know up from sideways.
364
00:14:25,708 --> 00:14:28,142
How do you know the
first thousand years?
365
00:14:28,210 --> 00:14:29,700
An informed guess, based on what
366
00:14:29,745 --> 00:14:31,212
I've learned in my memories.
367
00:14:31,247 --> 00:14:33,306
Most people can scarcely
remember their childhood,
368
00:14:33,349 --> 00:14:35,408
but you have memories of that time?
369
00:14:35,451 --> 00:14:37,009
Like yours, selective.
370
00:14:37,052 --> 00:14:40,419
You know, the high points,
the low points, traumas.
371
00:14:40,456 --> 00:14:42,151
They stick in the mind forever.
372
00:14:42,224 --> 00:14:46,126
Put down at 3 or 35,
you still feel a twinge.
373
00:14:48,631 --> 00:14:49,928
Go on.
374
00:14:49,965 --> 00:14:52,991
I kept getting chased
because I wouldn't die,
375
00:14:53,035 --> 00:14:56,436
so I got the hang of
joining new groups I found.
376
00:14:56,472 --> 00:14:59,839
I also got the idea of
periodically moving on.
377
00:15:00,876 --> 00:15:02,366
We were semi-nomadic, of course,
378
00:15:02,478 --> 00:15:05,413
following the weather
and the game we hunted.
379
00:15:05,481 --> 00:15:07,381
The first 2,000 years were cold.
380
00:15:07,483 --> 00:15:10,043
We learned it was warmer
at lower elevations.
381
00:15:10,085 --> 00:15:12,679
Late glacial period, I assume.
382
00:15:12,721 --> 00:15:15,281
What was the terrain like?
383
00:15:15,324 --> 00:15:18,418
Mountainous.
384
00:15:18,494 --> 00:15:20,394
Vast plains to the west.
385
00:15:21,597 --> 00:15:24,498
West - something you learned in school.
386
00:15:24,533 --> 00:15:27,093
Towards the setting sun.
387
00:15:27,203 --> 00:15:29,501
I suspect I saw the British isles
388
00:15:29,538 --> 00:15:31,836
from what is now the French coast.
389
00:15:31,907 --> 00:15:33,499
Huge mountains...
390
00:15:33,542 --> 00:15:36,272
on the other side of
an enormous deep valley
391
00:15:36,312 --> 00:15:38,212
that was shadowed by the setting sun.
392
00:15:38,247 --> 00:15:40,112
This is before they were separated
393
00:15:40,149 --> 00:15:42,743
from the continent by rising
seas, as glaciers melted.
394
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:45,352
That happened?
395
00:15:45,421 --> 00:15:47,548
Yes, the end of the Pleistocene.
396
00:15:47,623 --> 00:15:49,614
So far, what he says fits.
397
00:15:49,658 --> 00:15:51,683
Oh, yeah, into any textbook.
398
00:15:51,727 --> 00:15:53,661
And that's where I found it.
399
00:15:53,729 --> 00:15:55,594
How can I have knowledgeable recall
400
00:15:55,631 --> 00:15:57,462
if I didn't have knowledge?
401
00:15:57,533 --> 00:15:59,467
It's all retrospective.
402
00:15:59,535 --> 00:16:01,935
All I can do is
integrate my recollections
403
00:16:01,971 --> 00:16:03,700
with modern findings.
404
00:16:03,772 --> 00:16:06,434
Caveman, you gonna hit me
over the head with a club
405
00:16:06,475 --> 00:16:08,102
and drag me into the bedroom?
406
00:16:08,177 --> 00:16:09,769
You'd be more fun conscious.
407
00:16:09,812 --> 00:16:10,710
Oh, John.
408
00:16:10,779 --> 00:16:12,007
Let me get this straight.
409
00:16:12,081 --> 00:16:13,912
We're not talking about reincarnation.
410
00:16:13,983 --> 00:16:15,780
You're not saying that you remember
411
00:16:15,818 --> 00:16:17,217
whatever the hell it would be,
412
00:16:17,286 --> 00:16:18,583
200 separate lifetimes, dying
413
00:16:18,621 --> 00:16:21,021
and being born again and yada yada?
414
00:16:21,090 --> 00:16:22,523
One lifetime.
415
00:16:23,692 --> 00:16:25,057
Some lifetime.
416
00:16:25,094 --> 00:16:26,391
Wow.
417
00:16:26,428 --> 00:16:28,896
Maybe there is something
to this reincarnation thing.
418
00:16:28,931 --> 00:16:30,193
You're supposed to come back
419
00:16:30,232 --> 00:16:31,824
again and again, learn and learn,
420
00:16:31,901 --> 00:16:33,425
and somehow, John, you just managed
421
00:16:33,502 --> 00:16:34,992
to bypass all the other bodies.
422
00:16:35,037 --> 00:16:37,301
Well, what's the point?
423
00:16:40,342 --> 00:16:42,139
What about oceans?
424
00:16:42,211 --> 00:16:44,509
Didn't see them till much later.
425
00:16:44,546 --> 00:16:46,878
So how would you know
an ocean from a lake?
426
00:16:46,916 --> 00:16:48,713
Big waves - something else.
427
00:16:48,751 --> 00:16:50,946
I can only surmise in retrospect.
428
00:16:51,020 --> 00:16:53,011
Were you curious about
where it all came from?
429
00:16:54,523 --> 00:16:56,684
We would look up at the sky and wonder.
430
00:16:56,725 --> 00:16:58,886
"There's gotta be
some big guys up there.
431
00:16:58,928 --> 00:17:00,589
What else made all this down here??"
432
00:17:00,663 --> 00:17:02,153
At first I thought
433
00:17:02,197 --> 00:17:04,791
there was something wrong with me -
434
00:17:04,867 --> 00:17:07,392
maybe I was a bad guy for not dying.
435
00:17:08,570 --> 00:17:11,801
Then I began to wonder if I was cursed
436
00:17:11,874 --> 00:17:14,069
or perhaps blessed.
437
00:17:14,176 --> 00:17:17,805
Then I thought maybe I had a mission.
438
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,575
Do you still think you do?
439
00:17:19,615 --> 00:17:21,344
God works in mysterious ways.
440
00:17:21,383 --> 00:17:24,716
I think I just happened.
441
00:17:32,494 --> 00:17:33,586
Wow.
442
00:17:33,629 --> 00:17:34,687
Hello?
443
00:17:35,731 --> 00:17:37,596
Yes, Ellie?
444
00:17:37,633 --> 00:17:39,464
What's wrong?
445
00:17:39,501 --> 00:17:40,593
Sandy?
446
00:17:40,636 --> 00:17:41,728
Coming.
447
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,971
Yeah?
448
00:17:46,041 --> 00:17:47,736
Do we have Ellie's midterm here?
449
00:17:50,212 --> 00:17:51,201
Yeah, sorry.
450
00:17:51,313 --> 00:17:53,747
I picked it up with the periodicals.
451
00:17:53,816 --> 00:17:55,044
Got it.
452
00:17:55,117 --> 00:17:56,812
No, you're worried about your parents?
453
00:17:56,852 --> 00:17:58,251
Don't- Don't worry.
454
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,617
You passed, C+.
455
00:17:59,655 --> 00:18:01,987
Take care of yourself.
456
00:18:02,057 --> 00:18:03,388
Good kid.
457
00:18:03,459 --> 00:18:05,290
What does pre-med need with history?
458
00:18:05,361 --> 00:18:06,658
Got it.
459
00:18:06,695 --> 00:18:07,992
Thank you.
460
00:18:10,265 --> 00:18:11,425
Sorry, guys.
461
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:13,161
John, please continue.
462
00:18:13,268 --> 00:18:15,463
Come on, I thought we
were done with that.
463
00:18:15,504 --> 00:18:17,096
No! Let's go on with it.
464
00:18:17,172 --> 00:18:18,469
It's interesting.
465
00:18:18,574 --> 00:18:21,372
Besides, I think he's making
a certain amount of sense.
466
00:18:21,410 --> 00:18:23,970
Like Hegel.
Logic from absurd premises.
467
00:18:24,013 --> 00:18:25,310
That Van Gogh?
468
00:18:25,381 --> 00:18:27,508
He gave it to me.
469
00:18:27,583 --> 00:18:30,279
I was, uh, Jacques Bourne at the time,
470
00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:31,513
A pig farmer.
471
00:18:31,587 --> 00:18:32,884
A pig farmer?
472
00:18:34,189 --> 00:18:36,214
I like to work with my hands.
473
00:18:36,291 --> 00:18:38,384
He would come out to the place, paint.
474
00:18:38,427 --> 00:18:40,486
We talked about capturing nature in art.
475
00:18:40,529 --> 00:18:42,656
Turner, Cezanne, Pissarro.
476
00:18:42,698 --> 00:18:44,632
Oh, the Nolde landscapes.
477
00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:46,497
Not in Van Gogh's time.
478
00:18:46,602 --> 00:18:48,092
He would have loved them, though.
479
00:18:48,137 --> 00:18:49,104
Yes.
480
00:18:49,204 --> 00:18:50,831
Well, I don't understand
481
00:18:50,906 --> 00:18:53,067
why you can't remember
where you're from.
482
00:18:53,108 --> 00:18:54,871
Geography hasn't changed.
483
00:18:54,910 --> 00:18:56,537
I learned that in-
484
00:18:56,612 --> 00:18:57,909
Professor Hensen's tepid lectures.
485
00:18:57,946 --> 00:18:59,311
But you're right.
486
00:18:59,415 --> 00:19:01,440
Where did you live when
you were five years old?
487
00:19:01,483 --> 00:19:02,541
Little Rock.
488
00:19:02,584 --> 00:19:04,575
Your mother, she took you to the market?
489
00:19:04,653 --> 00:19:05,950
Mm-Hmm. What direction was it?
490
00:19:05,988 --> 00:19:07,353
From your house.
491
00:19:07,389 --> 00:19:08,754
I don't know.
492
00:19:08,791 --> 00:19:09,689
How far?
493
00:19:09,758 --> 00:19:11,589
Um, three blocks.
494
00:19:11,660 --> 00:19:13,150
Were there any references
495
00:19:13,195 --> 00:19:14,594
that stuck in your mind?
496
00:19:14,663 --> 00:19:16,130
Well, there was a gas station
497
00:19:16,165 --> 00:19:17,689
and a big field.
498
00:19:17,766 --> 00:19:19,893
I was told I could never go there alone.
499
00:19:19,968 --> 00:19:21,560
And if you went back there today,
500
00:19:21,603 --> 00:19:23,070
Would it be the same?
501
00:19:23,105 --> 00:19:25,972
No. I'm sure it's all
different and built up.
502
00:19:26,008 --> 00:19:28,841
Thus the saying
"You can't go home again"
503
00:19:28,877 --> 00:19:30,139
Because it isn't there anymore.
504
00:19:30,179 --> 00:19:31,908
Picture it on my scale-
505
00:19:31,980 --> 00:19:35,279
I migrated through an endless flat space
506
00:19:35,317 --> 00:19:37,683
full of endless new things.
507
00:19:37,719 --> 00:19:42,588
Forests, mountains, tundra, canyons.
508
00:19:42,624 --> 00:19:46,151
My memory sees what I saw then.
509
00:19:46,195 --> 00:19:49,494
My eye sees freeways, urban sprawl,
510
00:19:49,531 --> 00:19:52,728
Big Macs under the Eiffel tower.
511
00:19:52,801 --> 00:19:55,497
Early on, the world
got bigger and bigger,
512
00:19:55,537 --> 00:19:57,801
and then...
513
00:19:57,906 --> 00:19:59,635
Think what I've had to unlearn.
514
00:19:59,708 --> 00:20:01,505
And now you're moving on.
515
00:20:01,610 --> 00:20:04,272
As you've said, there's
talk of my not aging,
516
00:20:04,313 --> 00:20:07,043
And when that happens, I move on.
517
00:20:07,116 --> 00:20:10,643
Well, it might make sense
to set up your next identity,
518
00:20:10,719 --> 00:20:13,984
Your next ten years, and
then just drop into it.
519
00:20:14,022 --> 00:20:15,751
I've done that a few times,
520
00:20:15,824 --> 00:20:17,621
even passed as my own son.
521
00:20:17,659 --> 00:20:19,422
"Oh, you're an engineer, too?
522
00:20:19,461 --> 00:20:21,929
You're Ben's son. He was a good man."
523
00:20:22,030 --> 00:20:24,624
Saves trouble with
credentials and references.
524
00:20:24,666 --> 00:20:27,294
On the other hand, I've
been busted a few times.
525
00:20:27,336 --> 00:20:30,362
Spent a year in jail, Belgium, 1862
526
00:20:30,439 --> 00:20:32,031
- I won't forget that -
527
00:20:32,074 --> 00:20:34,065
for faking a government application.
528
00:20:34,143 --> 00:20:35,940
When'd you come to America?
529
00:20:36,044 --> 00:20:38,137
1890, right after Van Gogh's death,
530
00:20:38,180 --> 00:20:40,205
With some French immigrants...
531
00:20:40,249 --> 00:20:41,773
Moving on.
532
00:20:44,586 --> 00:20:47,646
An answer for every question.
533
00:20:47,689 --> 00:20:49,384
Except one, John.
534
00:20:49,458 --> 00:20:50,789
Why're you doing this?
535
00:20:53,362 --> 00:20:55,796
A whim. Maybe not such a good idea.
536
00:20:55,864 --> 00:20:57,354
I...
537
00:20:57,399 --> 00:21:00,425
Wanted to say good-bye to you as me,
538
00:21:00,502 --> 00:21:02,367
not what you thought I was.
539
00:21:02,404 --> 00:21:04,235
Well, since this isn't funny,
540
00:21:04,306 --> 00:21:06,740
we think you might have a problem.
541
00:21:06,808 --> 00:21:08,537
A very serious problem.
542
00:21:09,845 --> 00:21:11,608
I've got boxes to move.
543
00:21:11,647 --> 00:21:13,410
I'll give you a hand.
544
00:21:14,616 --> 00:21:19,417
Wouldn't you have
some relic, an artifact
545
00:21:19,454 --> 00:21:21,854
to remind you of your early life?
546
00:21:21,924 --> 00:21:23,357
Like this, maybe?
547
00:21:23,425 --> 00:21:24,756
Thrift shop.
548
00:21:24,826 --> 00:21:25,850
Really.
549
00:21:28,163 --> 00:21:30,529
If you lived 100... 1,000 years...
550
00:21:33,135 --> 00:21:34,534
Would you still have this?
551
00:21:34,570 --> 00:21:36,538
What would cause you to keep it?
552
00:21:36,572 --> 00:21:38,506
As a memento to your beginnings,
553
00:21:38,540 --> 00:21:40,030
even if you didn't have
554
00:21:40,075 --> 00:21:42,100
the concept of beginnings?
555
00:21:42,144 --> 00:21:44,135
It would be gone, lost.
556
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,338
No.
557
00:21:46,381 --> 00:21:48,178
I don't have artifacts.
558
00:21:50,652 --> 00:21:52,051
Keep that.
559
00:21:54,189 --> 00:21:55,451
Interesting.
560
00:21:57,059 --> 00:21:59,186
You could have lied about that.
561
00:21:59,261 --> 00:22:01,286
Don't talk about me while I'm gone.
562
00:22:09,304 --> 00:22:11,101
Is he serious?
563
00:22:11,139 --> 00:22:13,903
If he is, I'm sorry to say he's...
564
00:22:13,942 --> 00:22:16,843
Oh, how could he have
concealed that for ten years?
565
00:22:16,912 --> 00:22:19,005
Least he doesn't appear to be dangerous.
566
00:22:21,650 --> 00:22:22,810
What are you doing?
567
00:22:22,918 --> 00:22:24,886
Checkin' for a hidden mic.
568
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,251
Candid camera.
569
00:22:28,123 --> 00:22:30,023
He's fabricating these wild stories.
570
00:22:30,058 --> 00:22:31,992
I've never seen him acting like this.
571
00:22:32,027 --> 00:22:34,120
Oh, it's crazy.
572
00:22:34,162 --> 00:22:37,620
All right, all right,
as soon as you can, then.
573
00:22:44,172 --> 00:22:45,833
I love you, you know.
574
00:22:47,175 --> 00:22:48,642
I know.
575
00:22:50,445 --> 00:22:53,175
Since my first week at the office.
576
00:22:57,252 --> 00:22:58,184
And?
577
00:22:58,253 --> 00:23:01,484
I care very much about you,
578
00:23:01,590 --> 00:23:04,115
but now you know what
you'd be getting into.
579
00:23:04,192 --> 00:23:06,057
Do you really think you're a caveman?
580
00:23:06,094 --> 00:23:07,618
Do you?
581
00:23:13,702 --> 00:23:14,896
Could you love me,
582
00:23:15,003 --> 00:23:17,403
or don't you believe in that anymore?
583
00:23:18,807 --> 00:23:21,037
I've gotten over it too many times.
584
00:23:22,611 --> 00:23:24,101
Fond of you...
585
00:23:25,414 --> 00:23:27,746
certainly attracted to you.
586
00:23:30,152 --> 00:23:31,119
That's it?
587
00:23:35,223 --> 00:23:36,656
I can work with that.
588
00:23:39,861 --> 00:23:42,386
If what I'm saying is true,
589
00:23:42,431 --> 00:23:44,956
you and any children will age.
590
00:23:45,033 --> 00:23:46,227
I won't.
591
00:23:46,335 --> 00:23:48,235
And one day I'll leave.
592
00:23:48,270 --> 00:23:51,239
You'll go back to your
May-December romances.
593
00:23:51,273 --> 00:23:52,365
The simple fact is
594
00:23:52,441 --> 00:23:54,432
that I can't give you forever.
595
00:23:56,445 --> 00:23:57,844
How long's forever?
596
00:23:59,881 --> 00:24:01,712
Who ever really has it?
597
00:24:05,387 --> 00:24:08,288
My parents split up before I was born,
598
00:24:08,323 --> 00:24:11,258
And then my mom's next marriage lasted
599
00:24:11,293 --> 00:24:12,726
what, a whole three years?
600
00:24:14,730 --> 00:24:17,631
Then there's death,
illness, acts of god...
601
00:24:19,801 --> 00:24:21,826
No one knows how long they have.
602
00:24:23,605 --> 00:24:25,300
Or how little.
603
00:24:28,744 --> 00:24:30,109
I love you.
604
00:24:32,013 --> 00:24:33,605
Take whatever you can get.
605
00:24:36,651 --> 00:24:38,209
Like ten years?
606
00:24:44,226 --> 00:24:45,625
Ah! Ha ha ha!
607
00:24:47,129 --> 00:24:48,061
Uhn!
608
00:24:48,130 --> 00:24:49,028
Oh.
609
00:24:49,064 --> 00:24:51,055
Why did you do that?
610
00:24:51,133 --> 00:24:53,761
I wanted to see how fast you
were. Check your reflexes.
611
00:24:53,835 --> 00:24:55,928
I don't have eyes in
the back of my head,
612
00:24:55,971 --> 00:24:57,734
I can't hear a flea walking,
613
00:24:57,773 --> 00:24:59,434
I am not in any way superman.
614
00:24:59,541 --> 00:25:01,873
Well, I'm a second-degree black belt.
615
00:25:01,910 --> 00:25:03,707
Give it another thousand years.
616
00:25:05,380 --> 00:25:07,371
Well. I got it, I got it, I got it.
617
00:25:08,984 --> 00:25:09,916
Jesus.
618
00:25:09,985 --> 00:25:11,850
Smooth demonstration, Harry.
619
00:25:11,887 --> 00:25:13,878
Sit on it, Dan.
620
00:25:15,090 --> 00:25:16,614
I still have questions.
621
00:25:16,691 --> 00:25:18,420
I-I do too, John.
622
00:25:18,493 --> 00:25:21,087
I mean, are we done with prehistory yet?
623
00:25:21,129 --> 00:25:23,996
Remember any of your original language?
624
00:25:24,032 --> 00:25:26,899
A little. One thing
hasn't changed much...
625
00:25:30,605 --> 00:25:32,505
Did you ever do any cave art?
626
00:25:32,541 --> 00:25:34,566
Do you know the rock art at Les Eyzies?
627
00:25:34,609 --> 00:25:35,701
Mm-Hmm.
628
00:25:35,744 --> 00:25:38,110
It was the work of a man named...
629
00:25:39,648 --> 00:25:40,706
Giraud.
630
00:25:40,749 --> 00:25:42,376
He did a pretty good job.
631
00:25:42,417 --> 00:25:44,851
He would draw the animals
632
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,218
that we hoped to find to eat.
633
00:25:47,255 --> 00:25:49,314
One day after a fruitless hunt,
634
00:25:49,357 --> 00:25:51,484
our chief stomped his teeth out
635
00:25:51,526 --> 00:25:53,551
because his magic had failed him.
636
00:25:53,628 --> 00:25:56,654
After that, someone had
to chew his food for him.
637
00:25:56,731 --> 00:25:58,528
Finally, he got- I suspect-
638
00:25:58,567 --> 00:26:00,558
an infected jaw,
639
00:26:00,602 --> 00:26:02,263
and he was abandoned.
640
00:26:02,304 --> 00:26:04,067
That's awful.
641
00:26:04,105 --> 00:26:05,902
You have to know what to kill.
642
00:26:05,974 --> 00:26:07,669
Is this why all your students
643
00:26:07,709 --> 00:26:10,075
say your knowledge of history is...
644
00:26:10,111 --> 00:26:11,100
so amazing?
645
00:26:11,179 --> 00:26:13,204
No, that's mostly based on study.
646
00:26:13,281 --> 00:26:17,547
Remember, it's one man,
one place at a time,
647
00:26:17,586 --> 00:26:19,816
My solitary viewpoint
648
00:26:19,888 --> 00:26:22,584
of a world I knew almost nothing about.
649
00:26:22,624 --> 00:26:23,784
Well, let's talk about
650
00:26:23,892 --> 00:26:25,883
what you say you do know about:
651
00:26:25,927 --> 00:26:27,326
Historical times.
652
00:26:27,395 --> 00:26:28,726
Don't encourage him.
653
00:26:28,797 --> 00:26:29,923
Edith.
654
00:26:29,998 --> 00:26:32,831
Next few thousand years, it got warmer.
655
00:26:32,901 --> 00:26:34,198
A few thousand years-
656
00:26:34,302 --> 00:26:36,770
See, now I know you're guessing.
657
00:26:36,805 --> 00:26:39,273
You can't get there from here, Art.
658
00:26:39,307 --> 00:26:41,639
Well then, pray, continue.
659
00:26:42,744 --> 00:26:44,644
We hunted reindeer, mammoths,
660
00:26:44,713 --> 00:26:46,613
bison, horses,
661
00:26:46,648 --> 00:26:48,172
The game retreated northward
662
00:26:48,216 --> 00:26:49,342
as the climate changed.
663
00:26:49,417 --> 00:26:51,510
You got the idea of growing food
664
00:26:51,553 --> 00:26:53,316
rather than gathering it,
665
00:26:53,355 --> 00:26:55,482
raising animals rather
than hunting them.
666
00:26:55,524 --> 00:26:57,116
Am-Am I getting warm, here?
667
00:26:57,158 --> 00:26:58,625
I bet I am.
668
00:26:58,660 --> 00:27:01,094
Lakeside living becomes commonplace,
669
00:27:01,162 --> 00:27:02,686
- Fishing, fowling...
- Come on!
670
00:27:03,865 --> 00:27:05,992
John, this is out of any textbook.
671
00:27:06,067 --> 00:27:06,999
Even yours.
672
00:27:07,068 --> 00:27:09,866
You got most of it right.
673
00:27:09,971 --> 00:27:11,939
Eventually I headed to the east.
674
00:27:11,973 --> 00:27:14,134
I'd grown curious about the world.
675
00:27:14,175 --> 00:27:16,735
I'd gotten the hang of going it alone,
676
00:27:16,778 --> 00:27:19,338
Learning how to fit in when I wanted to.
677
00:27:19,381 --> 00:27:21,178
East.
678
00:27:21,283 --> 00:27:23,080
Towards the rising sun?
679
00:27:23,184 --> 00:27:25,914
Yes. I thought it might be warmer there.
680
00:27:27,188 --> 00:27:30,089
That's when I saw an ocean.
681
00:27:31,593 --> 00:27:34,027
The Mediterranean, probably.
682
00:27:34,095 --> 00:27:36,427
It was around the
beginning of the bronze age,
683
00:27:36,498 --> 00:27:38,728
So I followed the trade
routes from the east,
684
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,994
Copper, tin,
685
00:27:40,035 --> 00:27:43,129
Learning languages as I went.
686
00:27:43,204 --> 00:27:46,230
Everywhere, creation myths,
687
00:27:46,308 --> 00:27:49,038
new gods, so many, so different.
688
00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:51,738
I finally realized that it was...
689
00:27:51,813 --> 00:27:54,304
probably all hogwash,
690
00:27:54,416 --> 00:27:56,907
So I was Sumerian for 2,000 years,
691
00:27:57,018 --> 00:27:59,282
Then finally Babylonian under Hammurabi.
692
00:27:59,321 --> 00:28:00,754
Great man.
693
00:28:00,789 --> 00:28:03,280
And I sailed as a Phoenician for a time.
694
00:28:03,358 --> 00:28:06,555
See, moving on had been
easier as a hunter-gatherer...
695
00:28:08,196 --> 00:28:10,596
Difficult when villages emerged,
696
00:28:10,665 --> 00:28:14,101
tougher still in city states
where authority was centralized.
697
00:28:14,169 --> 00:28:15,864
Strangers were suspect.
698
00:28:15,971 --> 00:28:19,600
It seemed as though I
was always moving on.
699
00:28:19,674 --> 00:28:21,574
I learned some new tricks-
700
00:28:21,610 --> 00:28:24,272
even faked my death a couple of times.
701
00:28:26,481 --> 00:28:28,574
I continued east
702
00:28:28,617 --> 00:28:30,380
to India,
703
00:28:30,418 --> 00:28:33,876
luckily at the time of the Buddha.
704
00:28:33,922 --> 00:28:35,082
Luckily.
705
00:28:37,826 --> 00:28:40,556
Most extraordinary man I've ever known.
706
00:28:40,595 --> 00:28:41,687
He taught me things
707
00:28:41,730 --> 00:28:44,062
I'd never thought about before.
708
00:28:44,099 --> 00:28:46,397
You studied... with the Buddha?
709
00:28:46,434 --> 00:28:47,901
Until he died.
710
00:28:49,204 --> 00:28:52,139
He knew there was something
different about me.
711
00:28:52,207 --> 00:28:54,573
I never told him.
712
00:28:54,609 --> 00:28:56,941
This is fascinating.
713
00:28:57,012 --> 00:28:59,242
I almost wish it were true.
714
00:28:59,314 --> 00:29:02,977
Yeah, if it was true,
why are you telling us?
715
00:29:03,051 --> 00:29:04,678
I mean, we might leave here today,
716
00:29:04,753 --> 00:29:06,277
Go out there, tell everybody.
717
00:29:06,354 --> 00:29:07,844
It would vanish in disbelief.
718
00:29:09,057 --> 00:29:11,491
A story that goes around the room.
719
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:13,550
No credibility.
720
00:29:13,595 --> 00:29:16,689
Even if I could make you believe me,
721
00:29:16,765 --> 00:29:18,392
in a month, you wouldn't.
722
00:29:18,466 --> 00:29:20,957
Some of you would call me a psychopath,
723
00:29:21,002 --> 00:29:23,470
Others would be angry
at a pointless joke.
724
00:29:23,505 --> 00:29:25,496
Some of us are angry now.
725
00:29:25,573 --> 00:29:27,473
This-this was a bad idea.
726
00:29:27,509 --> 00:29:30,239
Uh, I love you all, and I do not want
727
00:29:30,278 --> 00:29:31,609
to put you through anything.
728
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:32,874
Then why are you doing it?
729
00:29:32,981 --> 00:29:35,245
'Cause I wanted
to say good-bye-
730
00:29:35,283 --> 00:29:36,181
As yourself.
731
00:29:36,284 --> 00:29:37,774
I think you've done that,
732
00:29:37,819 --> 00:29:38,877
whoever that self is.
733
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,080
Easy, Edith.
734
00:29:40,188 --> 00:29:41,780
We're just grading his homework.
735
00:29:41,823 --> 00:29:44,621
I see what's going on. You're
playing the good cop, Dan.
736
00:29:44,693 --> 00:29:45,921
That's fine. Just enjoy it.
737
00:29:45,994 --> 00:29:48,622
All right, I think this
whole thing is just a crock!
738
00:29:48,697 --> 00:29:50,392
I should leave, but I'm gonna stay.
739
00:29:50,432 --> 00:29:53,128
You know why? 'Cause I wanna
see what this is all about.
740
00:29:53,201 --> 00:29:54,634
So do I. What is this all about?
741
00:29:54,703 --> 00:29:56,796
Let's ask Dr. Freud,
who's just arrived.
742
00:29:56,838 --> 00:29:58,203
Hey, Will! Will!
743
00:30:00,208 --> 00:30:01,140
Art. Hey.
744
00:30:02,444 --> 00:30:03,502
John!
745
00:30:03,545 --> 00:30:05,012
I'm glad I caught you.
746
00:30:05,046 --> 00:30:06,946
Someone mentioned
that you were leaving-
747
00:30:07,015 --> 00:30:08,846
Called you, told you that I've lost it.
748
00:30:08,917 --> 00:30:11,647
Glad you're here. Things are
going in unexpected directions.
749
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:12,948
Yes, so I hear.
750
00:30:13,021 --> 00:30:14,215
Hi.
751
00:30:14,255 --> 00:30:15,813
Are you hungry?
752
00:30:15,857 --> 00:30:17,347
Uh, thank you, no.
753
00:30:17,425 --> 00:30:19,586
Whiskey? Johnny Walker green.
754
00:30:19,627 --> 00:30:21,618
Oh, yes.
755
00:30:25,033 --> 00:30:27,593
You look very familiar,
my dear. Linda Murphy.
756
00:30:27,635 --> 00:30:30,195
I'm in your Tuesday
psych 1 class, Dr. Gruber.
757
00:30:30,238 --> 00:30:32,763
Ah, well, this lesson may be something
758
00:30:32,841 --> 00:30:35,833
I could not have imagined.
759
00:30:35,877 --> 00:30:40,177
I regret being so
obvious about this, John,
760
00:30:40,248 --> 00:30:43,513
but these people are all
very concerned for you.
761
00:30:43,551 --> 00:30:46,145
Yes, I'm cutting out paper dinosaurs.
762
00:30:46,187 --> 00:30:49,350
I really wish I'd been
here from the beginning.
763
00:30:49,390 --> 00:30:50,357
Me too.
764
00:30:50,458 --> 00:30:52,392
Let me just say something right now.
765
00:30:52,460 --> 00:30:54,792
There's absolutely no
way in the whole world
766
00:30:54,863 --> 00:30:57,559
for John to prove this story to us,
767
00:30:57,599 --> 00:31:00,500
just like there's no way
for us to disprove it.
768
00:31:00,535 --> 00:31:02,696
No matter how outrageous we think it is,
769
00:31:02,737 --> 00:31:06,002
no matter how highly trained
some of us think we are,
770
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,201
there's absolutely
no way to disprove it.
771
00:31:08,243 --> 00:31:12,703
Our friend is either a
caveman, a liar, or a nut.
772
00:31:12,747 --> 00:31:14,214
So while we're thinking about that,
773
00:31:14,249 --> 00:31:16,877
why don't we just go with it?
774
00:31:16,918 --> 00:31:18,317
I mean, hell, who knows,
775
00:31:18,419 --> 00:31:20,387
he might jolt us into believing him,
776
00:31:20,421 --> 00:31:22,412
or we might jolt him back to reality.
777
00:31:22,457 --> 00:31:24,925
Believing? Whose reality?
778
00:31:24,959 --> 00:31:27,427
So... you're a caveman.
779
00:31:27,462 --> 00:31:28,724
Yes. Uh...
780
00:31:28,763 --> 00:31:32,164
Uh, I was a Cro-Magnon, I think.
781
00:31:32,233 --> 00:31:34,997
You don't know if
you're a caveman or not?
782
00:31:35,036 --> 00:31:36,298
No, I'm sure about that.
783
00:31:36,337 --> 00:31:37,429
A Cro-Magnon, then.
784
00:31:37,472 --> 00:31:39,531
When did you first realize this?
785
00:31:39,641 --> 00:31:41,768
When the Cro-Magnon
was first identified,
786
00:31:41,843 --> 00:31:43,902
when anthropology gave them a name,
787
00:31:43,945 --> 00:31:45,378
I had mine.
788
00:31:45,446 --> 00:31:46,845
Well, please continue.
789
00:31:46,881 --> 00:31:48,781
I'm sure you must have more to say.
790
00:31:48,850 --> 00:31:50,750
Would you like me to lie on the couch?
791
00:31:50,785 --> 00:31:53,345
As you wish.
792
00:31:55,256 --> 00:31:57,781
As a physician, I'm curious.
793
00:31:57,859 --> 00:32:01,124
In this enormous lifetime you describe,
794
00:32:01,196 --> 00:32:02,959
have you ever been ill?
795
00:32:02,997 --> 00:32:04,794
Sure, as much as anyone.
796
00:32:04,833 --> 00:32:06,357
Seriously ill?
797
00:32:06,401 --> 00:32:07,834
Sometimes.
798
00:32:07,902 --> 00:32:09,802
Of what? Do you know?
799
00:32:09,904 --> 00:32:11,428
In prehistory, I can't tell you.
800
00:32:11,506 --> 00:32:12,996
Maybe pneumonia once or twice.
801
00:32:15,043 --> 00:32:16,908
Last few hundred years,
802
00:32:16,945 --> 00:32:20,108
I've gotten over typhoid, yellow fever,
803
00:32:20,148 --> 00:32:23,276
smallpox... I survived the black plague.
804
00:32:23,318 --> 00:32:24,546
Bubonic?
805
00:32:24,619 --> 00:32:25,950
Oh, that's terrible.
806
00:32:26,020 --> 00:32:27,715
More so than history describes.
807
00:32:27,755 --> 00:32:31,282
And smallpox.
- But you're not scarred.
808
00:32:31,326 --> 00:32:32,452
I don't scar.
809
00:32:32,527 --> 00:32:33,892
No, John, that is not possible.
810
00:32:33,928 --> 00:32:35,225
Please, let's take John's story
811
00:32:35,263 --> 00:32:38,357
at face value and explore
it from that perspective.
812
00:32:38,433 --> 00:32:41,493
If he doesn't scar, it's
no stranger than the rest.
813
00:32:41,536 --> 00:32:43,970
John, would you please stop by my lab,
814
00:32:44,038 --> 00:32:45,767
suffer a few tests from
815
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,671
your friendly neighborhood biologist.
816
00:32:47,742 --> 00:32:48,970
I'm leery of labs.
817
00:32:49,043 --> 00:32:51,341
Afraid I might go in and
stay for a thousand years
818
00:32:51,379 --> 00:32:53,677
while cigarette smoking
men try to figure me out.
819
00:32:53,748 --> 00:32:55,545
You don't think that I would betray you?
820
00:32:55,583 --> 00:32:56,982
Walls have ears.
821
00:32:57,051 --> 00:32:59,542
Medical tests might be a
way of proving what you say.
822
00:32:59,587 --> 00:33:00,679
I don't wanna prove it.
823
00:33:00,722 --> 00:33:01,848
So you're telling us this,
824
00:33:01,890 --> 00:33:02,982
the yarn of the century,
825
00:33:03,024 --> 00:33:04,753
And you don't care if
we believe it or not?
826
00:33:04,792 --> 00:33:06,453
I guess I shouldn't
have expected you to.
827
00:33:06,494 --> 00:33:08,121
You're not as crazy as you think I am.
828
00:33:08,196 --> 00:33:09,094
Amen.
829
00:33:09,130 --> 00:33:10,597
I've always liked you.
830
00:33:10,632 --> 00:33:12,031
Why, thank you, dear.
831
00:33:12,100 --> 00:33:13,397
Now that's changing.
832
00:33:13,501 --> 00:33:14,934
Surely you don't believe this nonsense.
833
00:33:15,003 --> 00:33:17,028
I think we should remain
courteous to someone
834
00:33:17,105 --> 00:33:18,629
who we've known and trusted, Edith.
835
00:33:18,706 --> 00:33:21,402
Here you sit.
You can't break his story.
836
00:33:21,442 --> 00:33:24,104
All you can do is thumb your nose at it.
837
00:33:24,145 --> 00:33:26,136
Is that what you're doing, John?
838
00:33:26,214 --> 00:33:27,806
Are you laughing at us inside?
839
00:33:27,849 --> 00:33:29,407
I wish you didn't feel that way.
840
00:33:29,517 --> 00:33:32,850
What you're saying -
it offends common sense.
841
00:33:32,921 --> 00:33:34,650
So does relativity, quantum mechanics-
842
00:33:34,722 --> 00:33:36,314
That's the way nature works.
843
00:33:36,424 --> 00:33:40,758
But your story doesn't fit
into nature as we know it.
844
00:33:40,828 --> 00:33:42,523
But we know so little, Dan.
845
00:33:43,631 --> 00:33:44,825
We know so little.
846
00:33:44,866 --> 00:33:46,026
How many of you know
847
00:33:46,067 --> 00:33:47,329
five geniuses in your field
848
00:33:47,368 --> 00:33:48,562
that you disagree with...
849
00:33:48,636 --> 00:33:50,228
One you would like to strangle?
850
00:33:50,271 --> 00:33:52,364
Strangle them all.
851
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,067
It's bad enough we have to listen
852
00:33:54,142 --> 00:33:55,336
to Harry's idiotic jokes.
853
00:33:55,376 --> 00:33:56,536
Thank you very much, Edith.
854
00:33:56,577 --> 00:33:58,977
Maybe when I'm 110, I'll
be as smart as you are.
855
00:33:59,047 --> 00:34:00,378
If you lived as long as John did,
856
00:34:00,415 --> 00:34:02,042
you still wouldn't grow up.
857
00:34:02,083 --> 00:34:03,675
Come on, guys. Take it easy.
858
00:34:03,718 --> 00:34:06,186
How often do we get to meet someone
859
00:34:06,220 --> 00:34:09,621
who says he's a stone age man?
860
00:34:09,691 --> 00:34:10,919
Well, once is enough.
861
00:34:10,992 --> 00:34:12,289
Edith.
862
00:34:12,393 --> 00:34:14,452
All right. A guy with your mind-
863
00:34:14,495 --> 00:34:16,486
you'd have studied a great deal.
864
00:34:16,564 --> 00:34:20,000
I have ten degrees,
including all of yours...
865
00:34:20,034 --> 00:34:22,400
Except yours, Will.
866
00:34:22,437 --> 00:34:24,598
That makes me feel a trifle Lilliputian.
867
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:26,937
That's over the span of 170 years.
868
00:34:27,008 --> 00:34:30,239
I got my biology degree
at Oxford in 1840,
869
00:34:30,311 --> 00:34:31,972
So I'm a little behind the times.
870
00:34:32,013 --> 00:34:33,241
The same in other areas-
871
00:34:33,314 --> 00:34:36,078
I can't keep up with the
new stuff that comes along.
872
00:34:36,117 --> 00:34:37,015
No one can.
873
00:34:37,085 --> 00:34:38,382
Not even in their specialty.
874
00:34:38,419 --> 00:34:39,909
So much for the myth
875
00:34:40,021 --> 00:34:41,716
of the super-wise,
all-knowing immortal.
876
00:34:41,756 --> 00:34:43,587
I see your point, John.
877
00:34:43,658 --> 00:34:45,250
No matter how long a man lives,
878
00:34:45,326 --> 00:34:47,419
he can't be in advance of his times.
879
00:34:47,462 --> 00:34:50,454
He can't know more than
the best of the race knows,
880
00:34:50,531 --> 00:34:53,466
if that- I mean, when the
world learned it was round,
881
00:34:53,534 --> 00:34:54,796
you learned it.
882
00:34:54,836 --> 00:34:56,167
It took some time.
883
00:34:56,237 --> 00:34:57,431
News traveled slowly
884
00:34:57,538 --> 00:34:59,403
before communications were fancy.
885
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,965
There were social obstacles,
886
00:35:02,010 --> 00:35:05,207
preconceptions, screams from the church.
887
00:35:05,279 --> 00:35:06,371
Ten doctorates.
888
00:35:06,414 --> 00:35:08,279
That's impressive,
John. Did you teach them?
889
00:35:08,316 --> 00:35:09,613
Some.
890
00:35:09,684 --> 00:35:12,278
You might have all done the same.
891
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,448
Living 14,000 years
didn't make me a genius.
892
00:35:15,490 --> 00:35:16,787
I just had time.
893
00:35:16,824 --> 00:35:18,382
Time.
894
00:35:18,493 --> 00:35:20,393
We can't see it, we can't hear it,
895
00:35:20,495 --> 00:35:24,158
we can't weigh it, we can't
measure it in a laboratory.
896
00:35:24,198 --> 00:35:26,393
It's a subjective sense of becoming
897
00:35:26,501 --> 00:35:30,938
what we are instead of what
we were a nanosecond ago,
898
00:35:31,005 --> 00:35:33,371
becoming what we will
be in another nanosecond.
899
00:35:33,408 --> 00:35:35,399
The Hopis see time as a landscape,
900
00:35:35,443 --> 00:35:37,877
existing before and behind us,
901
00:35:37,912 --> 00:35:40,346
and we move--
we move through it,
902
00:35:40,415 --> 00:35:42,110
slice by slice.
903
00:35:42,216 --> 00:35:43,410
Clocks measure time.
904
00:35:43,518 --> 00:35:44,815
No, they measure themselves.
905
00:35:44,919 --> 00:35:47,217
The objective referent
of clock is another clock.
906
00:35:47,321 --> 00:35:49,653
How very interesting. What
has it got to do with John?
907
00:35:49,724 --> 00:35:51,715
Oh, he- he might be a man
908
00:35:51,759 --> 00:35:56,753
who lives outside of time as we know it.
909
00:35:59,333 --> 00:36:01,699
Yes, uh, well.
910
00:36:01,769 --> 00:36:04,863
People do go around armed these days.
911
00:36:04,906 --> 00:36:08,000
If I shot you, John...
You're immortal?
912
00:36:08,042 --> 00:36:09,976
Would you survive this?
913
00:36:10,011 --> 00:36:12,775
I never said I was immortal, just old.
914
00:36:12,814 --> 00:36:13,974
I might die.
915
00:36:14,015 --> 00:36:15,380
And then you could wonder
916
00:36:15,483 --> 00:36:17,815
the rest of your incarcerated
life what you shot.
917
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,284
Well, uh, may I?
918
00:36:23,991 --> 00:36:25,583
Preferable to a gun.
919
00:36:25,626 --> 00:36:28,925
Will, that was a bit much.
920
00:36:28,996 --> 00:36:31,556
Ooh. Books.
921
00:36:31,599 --> 00:36:34,124
Doctorates.
922
00:36:34,202 --> 00:36:37,399
Yes, you have grown and changed.
923
00:36:37,438 --> 00:36:39,838
But there is always innate nature.
924
00:36:39,907 --> 00:36:42,239
Wouldn't you be more comfortable
925
00:36:42,310 --> 00:36:43,868
squatting in the backyard?
926
00:36:43,911 --> 00:36:45,378
Sometimes I do, Will.
927
00:36:45,413 --> 00:36:46,880
Look up at the stars.
928
00:36:46,914 --> 00:36:47,903
Wonder.
929
00:36:47,949 --> 00:36:50,349
And what did primitive man make of them?
930
00:36:50,418 --> 00:36:52,249
A great mystery.
931
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,720
There were gods up there then.
932
00:36:54,755 --> 00:36:57,246
Shamans who knew about them told us.
933
00:36:57,325 --> 00:36:58,519
They still do.
934
00:37:00,061 --> 00:37:01,961
Have you ever wished it would end?
935
00:37:04,565 --> 00:37:05,497
No.
936
00:37:05,566 --> 00:37:07,898
Fourteen thousand years.
937
00:37:07,969 --> 00:37:10,597
Injuries, illness, disasters.
938
00:37:10,671 --> 00:37:12,969
You've survived them all.
939
00:37:13,007 --> 00:37:15,305
You're a very lucky man.
940
00:37:20,615 --> 00:37:21,877
Come in.
941
00:37:24,819 --> 00:37:25,911
John Oldman?
942
00:37:25,987 --> 00:37:27,284
Yes.
943
00:37:27,321 --> 00:37:29,221
Charity now. We're here
to pick up the furniture.
944
00:37:29,290 --> 00:37:30,985
It's all yours.
945
00:37:31,092 --> 00:37:32,286
Here, take this chair.
946
00:37:32,326 --> 00:37:34,294
I'm gonna go drink in the corner.
947
00:37:36,297 --> 00:37:38,857
You're, uh... you're donating it?
948
00:37:38,900 --> 00:37:40,094
Everything?
949
00:37:40,134 --> 00:37:41,226
I'll get more.
950
00:37:41,302 --> 00:37:42,826
Do you always travel this light?
951
00:37:42,904 --> 00:37:44,997
It's the only way to move.
952
00:37:46,641 --> 00:37:48,506
Oh, you-
953
00:37:48,609 --> 00:37:50,099
You've talked a good deal
954
00:37:50,144 --> 00:37:53,375
about your extraordinary
amount of living.
955
00:37:53,414 --> 00:37:55,575
What do you think of dying, John?
956
00:37:55,616 --> 00:37:57,208
Do you fear death?
957
00:37:57,251 --> 00:37:58,513
Who wouldn't?
958
00:37:58,553 --> 00:38:00,612
How did primitive man regard death?
959
00:38:00,655 --> 00:38:02,748
Well, we had the practical concept.
960
00:38:02,790 --> 00:38:04,724
You know, we stopped,
961
00:38:04,759 --> 00:38:06,590
fell down, didn't get up,
962
00:38:06,661 --> 00:38:08,856
Started to smell bad, come apart.
963
00:38:08,896 --> 00:38:10,989
Injuries we could understand.
964
00:38:11,065 --> 00:38:13,590
If someone's insides
were all over the ground.
965
00:38:13,668 --> 00:38:14,965
Infections...
966
00:38:15,002 --> 00:38:19,462
They were, uh, mysterious.
967
00:38:20,608 --> 00:38:22,007
Aging...
968
00:38:22,076 --> 00:38:23,566
The biggest mystery of all.
969
00:38:23,611 --> 00:38:25,602
You realized you were different.
970
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,706
Longer to realize how I was different,
971
00:38:28,783 --> 00:38:30,580
to find a way to synthesize
972
00:38:30,618 --> 00:38:33,109
my experience into a view of myself.
973
00:38:33,187 --> 00:38:35,621
At first, I thought everybody had
974
00:38:35,690 --> 00:38:37,385
something wrong with them.
975
00:38:37,491 --> 00:38:41,052
They got old and they
died, animals, too...
976
00:38:41,095 --> 00:38:42,084
but not me.
977
00:38:45,099 --> 00:38:47,932
Oh, forgive me, my dear.
978
00:38:48,002 --> 00:38:49,594
You live simply.
979
00:38:49,637 --> 00:38:52,128
I've owned castles, but why leave a lot
980
00:38:52,206 --> 00:38:53,434
if you're always leaving?
981
00:38:53,507 --> 00:38:54,633
I have money.
982
00:38:54,709 --> 00:38:57,439
What, you get into
AT&T at 50 cents, John?
983
00:38:59,647 --> 00:39:01,274
As one grows older,
984
00:39:01,349 --> 00:39:06,685
the days, weeks, months
go by more quickly.
985
00:39:06,754 --> 00:39:09,780
What does a day or a year
986
00:39:09,857 --> 00:39:12,382
or a century mean to you?
987
00:39:12,460 --> 00:39:14,985
The birth-death cycle?
988
00:39:15,062 --> 00:39:16,620
Turbulence.
989
00:39:16,664 --> 00:39:18,188
I meet someone,
990
00:39:18,266 --> 00:39:21,099
learn their name, say
a word, they're gone.
991
00:39:21,168 --> 00:39:25,571
Others come like waves. Rise, fall.
992
00:39:27,108 --> 00:39:29,508
Ripples in a wheat
field, blown by the wind.
993
00:39:29,577 --> 00:39:32,239
Do you ever get tired of it all?
994
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,679
I get bored now and then.
995
00:39:33,714 --> 00:39:36,979
They keep making the same
stupid mistakes over and over.
996
00:39:37,018 --> 00:39:37,916
They.
997
00:39:38,986 --> 00:39:40,180
Then you see yourself
998
00:39:40,288 --> 00:39:42,483
as separate from the rest of humanity.
999
00:39:43,524 --> 00:39:45,287
I didn't mean it that way.
1000
00:39:46,594 --> 00:39:47,720
But of course...
1001
00:39:48,896 --> 00:39:49,885
I am.
1002
00:39:51,299 --> 00:39:54,097
Are you comfortable
knowing that you have lived
1003
00:39:54,201 --> 00:39:58,035
while everyone you knew
- Everyone you knew, John! -
1004
00:39:58,105 --> 00:39:59,197
has died?
1005
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:01,003
I've regretted losing people...
1006
00:40:01,042 --> 00:40:02,009
often.
1007
00:40:02,109 --> 00:40:04,475
Have you ever felt guilt about that,
1008
00:40:04,512 --> 00:40:06,742
something akin to survivor's guilt?
1009
00:40:06,814 --> 00:40:09,009
In the strict psychological sense?
1010
00:40:09,050 --> 00:40:10,381
I suppose I have.
1011
00:40:10,418 --> 00:40:11,510
Yeah.
1012
00:40:13,020 --> 00:40:15,113
But what can I do about it?
1013
00:40:17,124 --> 00:40:18,614
Indeed.
1014
00:40:19,660 --> 00:40:20,922
I'm sorry, ma'am.
1015
00:40:20,961 --> 00:40:22,121
Gentlemen, I'm-
1016
00:40:22,163 --> 00:40:24,097
I'm gonna keep the couch.
1017
00:40:24,131 --> 00:40:25,029
Thanks.
1018
00:40:25,132 --> 00:40:27,225
Ladies? Will? Oh, no...
1019
00:40:27,335 --> 00:40:29,929
You've got a heart condition.
Don't grump about it.
1020
00:40:29,970 --> 00:40:31,733
Hey, how about changing
the subject, Will?
1021
00:40:31,772 --> 00:40:33,535
Enough with the- with the dying.
1022
00:40:33,574 --> 00:40:37,271
But this is the flip
side of his coin, Harry.
1023
00:40:37,345 --> 00:40:40,041
I'm very curious to know his feelings.
1024
00:40:40,147 --> 00:40:43,014
Would you prefer I asked
him about his father?
1025
00:40:43,050 --> 00:40:44,449
I thought you always started with
1026
00:40:44,485 --> 00:40:45,782
"Tell me about your mother."
1027
00:40:45,853 --> 00:40:48,879
Yes, but prehistory was
strongly patriarchal.
1028
00:40:48,956 --> 00:40:52,016
Surely you remember your father.
1029
00:40:52,059 --> 00:40:55,085
I seem to remember a figure,
1030
00:40:55,162 --> 00:40:58,097
Perhaps an older brother,
a social father, maybe.
1031
00:40:58,165 --> 00:40:59,757
Well, no matter.
1032
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,132
I can scarcely remember mine.
1033
00:41:03,637 --> 00:41:06,128
Do you feel a vacancy
1034
00:41:06,207 --> 00:41:08,198
in your life about that, John,
1035
00:41:08,242 --> 00:41:10,233
something you wish could be filled
1036
00:41:10,311 --> 00:41:13,144
by a face, a voice, an image?
1037
00:41:15,549 --> 00:41:17,016
Not at this late date.
1038
00:41:17,051 --> 00:41:19,349
There must be
someone - probably many -
1039
00:41:19,420 --> 00:41:21,081
that you valued intensely.
1040
00:41:21,122 --> 00:41:22,453
Loved.
1041
00:41:22,523 --> 00:41:26,015
You saw them age and die -
1042
00:41:26,060 --> 00:41:29,461
a friend, a colleague, a wife.
1043
00:41:29,530 --> 00:41:32,829
Certainly you've had wives and children?
1044
00:41:32,867 --> 00:41:34,232
I'd move on.
1045
00:41:34,268 --> 00:41:36,031
I had to move on.
1046
00:41:36,137 --> 00:41:38,765
Making him history's biggest bigamist.
1047
00:41:39,940 --> 00:41:42,568
Have you ever in your life thought
1048
00:41:42,643 --> 00:41:44,235
"It should have been me"?
1049
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,538
Maybe.
1050
00:41:47,581 --> 00:41:49,048
Yeah, Art has told me
1051
00:41:49,083 --> 00:41:50,846
that some of your early fellows
1052
00:41:50,885 --> 00:41:53,547
feared you were stealing their lives.
1053
00:41:53,587 --> 00:41:56,249
Have you thought that perhaps you were?
1054
00:41:56,290 --> 00:41:57,689
Perhaps you are!
1055
00:41:57,758 --> 00:42:00,886
There have always been
legends of such a thing,
1056
00:42:00,928 --> 00:42:02,919
a creature not quite human
1057
00:42:02,997 --> 00:42:07,058
taking not the blood,
but the life force itself?
1058
00:42:07,101 --> 00:42:08,329
My God, Will.
1059
00:42:08,402 --> 00:42:10,802
Unconsciously, perhaps,
1060
00:42:10,905 --> 00:42:14,864
by some biological or psychic mechanism
1061
00:42:14,909 --> 00:42:16,843
that we can only guess at.
1062
00:42:16,911 --> 00:42:19,903
I'm not saying you would do
such a thing deliberately.
1063
00:42:19,947 --> 00:42:22,973
I'm not saying that you
would even know how to...
1064
00:42:23,017 --> 00:42:24,314
Would you?
1065
00:42:25,853 --> 00:42:28,754
But would such a thing be fair?
1066
00:42:28,823 --> 00:42:30,415
So you believe me now?
1067
00:42:30,458 --> 00:42:33,757
I'm only exploring what you have said.
1068
00:42:33,828 --> 00:42:37,730
Whether I believe it or
not is of no importance.
1069
00:42:37,765 --> 00:42:39,528
We will die.
1070
00:42:39,567 --> 00:42:41,262
You will live.
1071
00:42:41,335 --> 00:42:43,462
Will you come to my funeral, John?
1072
00:42:43,537 --> 00:42:44,731
Hey, Will...
1073
00:42:44,772 --> 00:42:45,932
You've gone too far.
1074
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,668
John didn't ask to be what he is.
1075
00:42:48,742 --> 00:42:51,336
And we did not ask to hear about it.
1076
00:42:51,378 --> 00:42:52,845
But if it were true,
1077
00:42:52,947 --> 00:42:55,973
is there one among us
who would not feel envy,
1078
00:42:56,050 --> 00:42:58,484
even perhaps a touch of hatred?
1079
00:43:00,187 --> 00:43:02,121
You told us of yourself, John.
1080
00:43:02,189 --> 00:43:04,089
Can you imagine how we feel?
1081
00:43:04,124 --> 00:43:06,183
I never thought of that.
1082
00:43:06,227 --> 00:43:08,218
Since you may not die,
1083
00:43:08,295 --> 00:43:11,025
while we most assuredly will...
1084
00:43:11,098 --> 00:43:13,259
There must be a reason for that, no?
1085
00:43:13,300 --> 00:43:15,131
Perhaps you are an expert.
1086
00:43:16,537 --> 00:43:19,062
Uh, that's it, Mr. Oldman.
Have a good one.
1087
00:43:19,106 --> 00:43:20,801
Thank you. You too.
1088
00:43:24,612 --> 00:43:26,637
Or are you a vampire, John?
1089
00:43:27,748 --> 00:43:29,409
Even an unknowing one.
1090
00:43:30,518 --> 00:43:32,110
Do you stand alive and tall
1091
00:43:32,219 --> 00:43:34,312
in a graveyard that you helped to fill?
1092
00:43:34,355 --> 00:43:35,822
That's going too far.
1093
00:43:35,856 --> 00:43:38,757
Bored, perhaps lonely,
because your heart
1094
00:43:38,826 --> 00:43:40,794
cannot keep its treasures.
1095
00:43:40,828 --> 00:43:42,819
Is that what you're doing?
1096
00:43:44,231 --> 00:43:46,222
Have you led a wrongful life?
1097
00:43:47,334 --> 00:43:49,325
Well, then, perhaps
1098
00:43:50,437 --> 00:43:52,234
it is time to die.
1099
00:43:54,041 --> 00:43:55,235
Wait a minute, now.
1100
00:43:55,276 --> 00:43:57,244
Look, I don't know what John is doing,
1101
00:43:57,278 --> 00:43:59,678
But I sure as hell don't
like what you're doing.
1102
00:43:59,747 --> 00:44:02,113
Give me that gun or I'm
gonna break your goddamn arm.
1103
00:44:02,182 --> 00:44:05,447
You sound like our football coach, Dan.
1104
00:44:05,486 --> 00:44:07,420
What do you think, John?
1105
00:44:07,488 --> 00:44:09,388
A shot to the arm?
1106
00:44:09,423 --> 00:44:12,324
Perhaps we could watch it heal.
1107
00:44:12,393 --> 00:44:14,486
A bullet in the head...
1108
00:44:14,528 --> 00:44:16,621
What exactly will happen?
1109
00:44:22,636 --> 00:44:24,797
I have papers to correct.
1110
00:44:24,838 --> 00:44:27,534
As much as I dislike that job,
1111
00:44:27,608 --> 00:44:30,304
it'll be preferable to this.
1112
00:44:31,912 --> 00:44:33,937
I leave you with it.
1113
00:44:36,317 --> 00:44:38,547
Jesus Christ.
1114
00:44:38,619 --> 00:44:40,553
What the hell was that all about?
1115
00:44:40,621 --> 00:44:41,815
Where'd he get a gun?
1116
00:44:41,922 --> 00:44:43,446
He had you on the ropes, John.
1117
00:44:43,524 --> 00:44:45,048
Are you really so damn smart?
1118
00:44:45,125 --> 00:44:46,422
It's not like Will.
1119
00:44:48,329 --> 00:44:50,126
Mary passed away yesterday.
1120
00:44:52,633 --> 00:44:53,827
Who?
1121
00:44:53,934 --> 00:44:56,334
His wife.
1122
00:44:57,771 --> 00:44:59,534
She had, uh, pancreatic cancer.
1123
00:45:01,375 --> 00:45:02,399
Will!
1124
00:45:04,078 --> 00:45:05,705
I didn't know about Mary.
1125
00:45:05,779 --> 00:45:09,180
I'm sorry. I can see how
this might have hit you.
1126
00:45:09,216 --> 00:45:13,118
Please, permit me to
be infantile by myself.
1127
00:45:13,187 --> 00:45:15,485
Will, please.
1128
00:45:32,106 --> 00:45:33,903
What the hell were you thinking, Art?
1129
00:45:33,941 --> 00:45:35,738
Oh, come on. Something had to be done.
1130
00:45:35,809 --> 00:45:37,174
I have to say I agree.
1131
00:45:37,211 --> 00:45:38,508
And he's our friend.
1132
00:45:38,612 --> 00:45:40,807
Whatever else on Earth is going on,
1133
00:45:40,848 --> 00:45:41,906
He's our friend!
1134
00:45:41,949 --> 00:45:42,916
You sure about that?
1135
00:45:43,017 --> 00:45:44,507
Why are you being so hard on him?
1136
00:45:44,618 --> 00:45:47,280
One of my favorite
people has disappeared.
1137
00:45:47,321 --> 00:45:50,654
Can you get Alzheimer's at 35?
1138
00:45:50,724 --> 00:45:53,989
Maybe I'm trying to wake him up.
1139
00:45:54,028 --> 00:45:57,623
Maybe I'm too sad to cry.
1140
00:46:01,869 --> 00:46:04,838
What I said about myself hurt him.
1141
00:46:04,872 --> 00:46:07,204
He struck back expertly.
1142
00:46:07,274 --> 00:46:10,004
That stuff about stealing life forces?
1143
00:46:10,077 --> 00:46:12,807
I've always wondered about the reasons.
1144
00:46:19,186 --> 00:46:22,485
Well, we still have an
afternoon to kill, right?
1145
00:46:24,625 --> 00:46:26,388
Charades?
1146
00:46:28,595 --> 00:46:30,790
No. John?
1147
00:46:30,831 --> 00:46:33,493
I have a charade, and
it is just for you.
1148
00:46:33,534 --> 00:46:34,501
Sandy, come here.
1149
00:46:34,601 --> 00:46:36,193
Come on, come on, come on.
1150
00:46:36,236 --> 00:46:37,863
Okay, this one's for you.
1151
00:46:37,905 --> 00:46:39,805
Ready?
1152
00:46:50,851 --> 00:46:52,341
Ooh!
1153
00:46:52,419 --> 00:46:53,818
Unh.
1154
00:46:53,921 --> 00:46:55,479
My first wedding?
1155
00:46:55,522 --> 00:46:57,012
There you go.
1156
00:46:57,057 --> 00:46:58,524
There you go!
1157
00:46:58,559 --> 00:47:01,187
Very good, and I bet at least one of us
1158
00:47:01,261 --> 00:47:02,353
is your direct descendent.
1159
00:47:02,396 --> 00:47:04,455
And I didn't even send a Christmas card.
1160
00:47:04,498 --> 00:47:06,659
Christmas card? What
about a birthday card?
1161
00:47:06,700 --> 00:47:08,827
And don't even get me
started on the candles...
1162
00:47:08,869 --> 00:47:10,837
with the blowing and the
1163
00:47:10,871 --> 00:47:12,702
for years with the blowing.
1164
00:47:14,775 --> 00:47:16,709
Yeah, all right. I tried.
1165
00:47:16,777 --> 00:47:20,042
Well, uh, call me underdeveloped,
1166
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,412
but I'd like to hear more.
1167
00:47:24,618 --> 00:47:25,949
Me too.
1168
00:47:25,986 --> 00:47:27,214
More.
1169
00:47:27,287 --> 00:47:29,619
You double-damn swear
this isn't some cockamamie
1170
00:47:29,690 --> 00:47:31,851
science fiction story or...
1171
00:47:31,892 --> 00:47:33,223
you're pulling on us?
1172
00:47:33,293 --> 00:47:35,693
Next question.
1173
00:47:35,729 --> 00:47:37,094
You-You-You realize
1174
00:47:37,131 --> 00:47:38,393
this is an invitation
1175
00:47:38,432 --> 00:47:40,593
to men in white suits with happy pills.
1176
00:47:40,634 --> 00:47:41,601
Think about it.
1177
00:47:41,635 --> 00:47:43,500
A mechanism allowing survival
1178
00:47:43,537 --> 00:47:44,834
for thousands of years?
1179
00:47:44,905 --> 00:47:47,100
Run out of room even faster.
1180
00:47:47,207 --> 00:47:49,437
Then we'd have to go to Mars as a colony
1181
00:47:49,510 --> 00:47:51,341
as we expanded, as we'd have to.
1182
00:47:51,411 --> 00:47:53,242
I'd like that.
1183
00:47:53,313 --> 00:47:55,281
On a planet of another star.
1184
00:47:55,315 --> 00:47:57,112
I envy you.
1185
00:47:57,217 --> 00:47:59,515
Did you have a pet dinosaur?
1186
00:47:59,553 --> 00:48:01,851
They were a little bit before my time.
1187
00:48:01,889 --> 00:48:03,049
At least something is.
1188
00:48:03,157 --> 00:48:06,183
No doubt you could give us
a thousand details, John,
1189
00:48:06,260 --> 00:48:07,249
corroborating your story,
1190
00:48:07,294 --> 00:48:09,762
from the Magdalene to the Buddha to now.
1191
00:48:09,797 --> 00:48:10,889
Ten thousand,
1192
00:48:10,964 --> 00:48:12,556
and you could stay out of the books.
1193
00:48:12,599 --> 00:48:14,999
Oh, it's getting chilly.
1194
00:48:15,068 --> 00:48:17,263
Here, come over here. Join me.
1195
00:48:19,606 --> 00:48:23,269
That, uh, raises an
interesting question, John.
1196
00:48:23,310 --> 00:48:24,777
Could there be others like you
1197
00:48:24,812 --> 00:48:27,007
who escaped the aging
process as you have?
1198
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:28,377
Representing something terrific
1199
00:48:28,415 --> 00:48:29,712
we don't even know about in biology.
1200
00:48:29,783 --> 00:48:31,011
We're learning all the time.
1201
00:48:31,084 --> 00:48:32,176
Yeah, but how would he know?
1202
00:48:32,286 --> 00:48:35,278
He doesn't wear an I.D. badge
saying "yabba dabba doo."
1203
00:48:35,322 --> 00:48:37,916
There was a man in the 1600s.
1204
00:48:37,991 --> 00:48:40,482
Where were you in 1292 A.D.?
1205
00:48:40,594 --> 00:48:43,188
Where were you a year ago on this date?
1206
00:48:45,833 --> 00:48:48,597
Anyway, it was the
1600s, and I met a man,
1207
00:48:48,635 --> 00:48:51,331
and I had a hunch that he was...
1208
00:48:51,405 --> 00:48:53,236
like me, so I told him.
1209
00:48:53,307 --> 00:48:57,073
Ah. See, you said this was a first.
1210
00:48:57,110 --> 00:48:58,042
I forgot.
1211
00:48:58,111 --> 00:48:59,908
A crack in your story, John?
1212
00:48:59,947 --> 00:49:01,938
A touch of senility.
1213
00:49:01,982 --> 00:49:03,882
Anyway, he said yes,
1214
00:49:03,951 --> 00:49:05,942
but from another time, another place.
1215
00:49:05,986 --> 00:49:07,453
We talked for two days.
1216
00:49:07,554 --> 00:49:09,488
It was all pretty convincing,
1217
00:49:09,556 --> 00:49:11,751
But we couldn't be sure.
1218
00:49:11,792 --> 00:49:14,056
We each confirmed what the other said,
1219
00:49:14,094 --> 00:49:16,324
but how do we know if the confirmation
1220
00:49:16,363 --> 00:49:18,126
was genuine or an echo?
1221
00:49:18,165 --> 00:49:19,860
I knew I was kosher,
1222
00:49:19,900 --> 00:49:23,802
but I thought, "maybe he's
playing a game on me."
1223
00:49:23,871 --> 00:49:27,170
You know, a scholar
of all we spoke about.
1224
00:49:27,274 --> 00:49:30,266
He said he was inclined
with the same reservation.
1225
00:49:30,310 --> 00:49:31,470
Now, that's interesting.
1226
00:49:31,578 --> 00:49:33,705
Just as we can never be sure,
1227
00:49:33,780 --> 00:49:35,270
even if we wanted to.
1228
00:49:35,315 --> 00:49:36,782
I mean, if we were sure,
1229
00:49:36,884 --> 00:49:38,476
you couldn't be sure of that.
1230
00:49:38,585 --> 00:49:40,610
We parted, agreeing to keep in touch
1231
00:49:40,687 --> 00:49:42,086
- of course, we didn't -
1232
00:49:42,122 --> 00:49:44,590
and 200 years later I thought I saw him
1233
00:49:44,625 --> 00:49:46,855
in a train station in Brussels.
1234
00:49:46,894 --> 00:49:48,418
Lost him in the crowd.
1235
00:49:48,495 --> 00:49:50,588
Oh, what a shame.
1236
00:49:50,631 --> 00:49:52,428
I- I mean, if it were true.
1237
00:49:52,499 --> 00:49:54,194
Okay, here's one for you.
1238
00:49:54,234 --> 00:49:56,532
What do you do in your spare time?
1239
00:49:57,704 --> 00:49:58,796
Every 50 years or so,
1240
00:49:58,839 --> 00:50:00,704
when I wanna get away from the rush,
1241
00:50:00,741 --> 00:50:03,107
I go down to a primitive
tribe in New Guinea
1242
00:50:03,143 --> 00:50:05,509
where I'm worshipped as an immortal god,
1243
00:50:05,545 --> 00:50:07,911
and they have a huge statue of me.
1244
00:50:07,948 --> 00:50:09,108
It's a big party.
1245
00:50:09,149 --> 00:50:11,117
Yeah, I've got a lot of pictures of it,
1246
00:50:11,151 --> 00:50:13,016
but I've already packed
them up. I'm sorry.
1247
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,817
I won't make the obvious nasty
crack about more unwashed cavemen.
1248
00:50:16,857 --> 00:50:18,154
Actually, bathing was the style
1249
00:50:18,225 --> 00:50:20,090
until the middle ages
when the church told us
1250
00:50:20,127 --> 00:50:22,960
it was sinful to wash away God's dirt,
1251
00:50:23,030 --> 00:50:24,156
so people were sewn
1252
00:50:24,231 --> 00:50:25,858
into their underwear in October
1253
00:50:25,933 --> 00:50:27,594
and they popped out in April.
1254
00:50:27,634 --> 00:50:29,329
You said you just happened.
1255
00:50:29,369 --> 00:50:31,200
I don't believe that.
1256
00:50:31,238 --> 00:50:32,967
If your story's true,
1257
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,941
why did God allow you to happen?
1258
00:50:35,976 --> 00:50:38,877
That makes an interesting point.
1259
00:50:38,946 --> 00:50:40,538
Are you religious, John?
1260
00:50:40,580 --> 00:50:43,105
I don't follow a known religion. No.
1261
00:50:43,150 --> 00:50:44,139
Ever.
1262
00:50:44,251 --> 00:50:46,481
Long time ago I did,
1263
00:50:46,553 --> 00:50:48,748
like most people.
1264
00:50:48,789 --> 00:50:50,586
Some just never get over it.
1265
00:50:50,657 --> 00:50:51,988
Do you believe in God?
1266
00:50:53,093 --> 00:50:54,856
As Laplace said,
1267
00:50:54,895 --> 00:50:57,523
"I have no need of that hypothesis."
1268
00:50:57,564 --> 00:50:59,054
He may be around, though.
1269
00:50:59,099 --> 00:51:01,659
He's everywhere. We just can't see him.
1270
00:51:01,702 --> 00:51:04,330
Pfft. If this was the best I could do,
1271
00:51:04,404 --> 00:51:05,871
I'd be hiding, too.
1272
00:51:05,906 --> 00:51:07,339
And creation...
1273
00:51:07,407 --> 00:51:09,739
It's here.
- I'm not so sure it was created.
1274
00:51:09,810 --> 00:51:11,038
What then?
1275
00:51:11,111 --> 00:51:14,638
Maybe it's just accumulated,
fields affecting fields.
1276
00:51:14,715 --> 00:51:17,343
What about the source
of the field energies?
1277
00:51:17,417 --> 00:51:19,317
Wouldn't that imply a prime mover?
1278
00:51:19,353 --> 00:51:21,412
I'd wonder about the
source of the prime mover,
1279
00:51:21,521 --> 00:51:24,649
infinite regress, but that
doesn't imply anything to me.
1280
00:51:24,725 --> 00:51:26,420
Back to the mystery.
1281
00:51:26,526 --> 00:51:28,517
It's a very old question,
1282
00:51:28,562 --> 00:51:32,430
But there's no answer
except in religious terms.
1283
00:51:32,466 --> 00:51:35,128
If you have faith, it's answered.
1284
00:51:35,235 --> 00:51:38,636
Did you ever meet any person
from our religious history?
1285
00:51:38,672 --> 00:51:40,663
A biblical figure?
1286
00:51:40,741 --> 00:51:42,038
In a way.
1287
00:51:42,075 --> 00:51:43,736
Who?
1288
00:51:43,777 --> 00:51:45,244
We should skip this one.
1289
00:51:45,278 --> 00:51:46,973
No, no, no skipping. Come on.
1290
00:51:47,047 --> 00:51:48,207
Next question.
1291
00:51:48,248 --> 00:51:49,647
No, come on!
1292
00:51:51,051 --> 00:51:52,245
Come on, spit it out!
1293
00:51:52,352 --> 00:51:53,944
Good lord! You were one of them!
1294
00:51:53,987 --> 00:51:57,616
This is going in a direction
that I didn't expect.
1295
00:51:57,657 --> 00:52:00,751
I hoped it wouldn't.
We... call it a night.
1296
00:52:00,794 --> 00:52:03,957
Come on! You were someone
in religious history?
1297
00:52:03,997 --> 00:52:05,191
Yes.
1298
00:52:05,232 --> 00:52:06,722
In the Bible?
1299
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:07,698
Yes.
1300
00:52:07,734 --> 00:52:08,792
Someone we know?
1301
00:52:08,835 --> 00:52:10,860
How could we not know
someone in the Bible?
1302
00:52:10,904 --> 00:52:12,337
I mean somebody important.
1303
00:52:12,406 --> 00:52:13,737
You may think you know him,
1304
00:52:13,807 --> 00:52:15,297
but it's mostly myth.
1305
00:52:15,342 --> 00:52:18,675
The entire Bible is
mostly myth and allegory
1306
00:52:18,712 --> 00:52:22,045
with maybe some basis
in historical events.
1307
00:52:22,115 --> 00:52:26,381
You were part of that history?
1308
00:52:26,420 --> 00:52:27,512
Yes.
1309
00:52:28,622 --> 00:52:29,816
Moses.
1310
00:52:29,923 --> 00:52:33,723
Moses was based on Misis, a Syrian myth,
1311
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,591
and there are earlier versions.
1312
00:52:35,629 --> 00:52:37,358
All found floating on water,
1313
00:52:37,431 --> 00:52:39,956
the staff that changed to a snake,
1314
00:52:40,033 --> 00:52:42,501
waters that were parted so followers
1315
00:52:42,536 --> 00:52:44,060
could be led to freedom
1316
00:52:44,137 --> 00:52:45,536
and even receive laws
1317
00:52:45,639 --> 00:52:47,163
on stone or wooden tablets.
1318
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:50,038
One of the apostles.
1319
00:52:50,143 --> 00:52:52,509
They weren't really apostles.
1320
00:52:52,546 --> 00:52:54,878
They didn't do any real teaching.
1321
00:52:54,948 --> 00:52:58,247
Peter the fisherman learned
a little more about fishing.
1322
00:52:58,285 --> 00:53:00,219
How do you know that?
1323
00:53:02,622 --> 00:53:05,614
The mythical overlay is so enormous...
1324
00:53:07,027 --> 00:53:09,018
and not good.
1325
00:53:09,096 --> 00:53:15,228
The truth is so, so simple.
1326
00:53:15,302 --> 00:53:18,999
The New Testament in 100
words or less: you ready?
1327
00:53:19,039 --> 00:53:20,597
I don't think I wanna hear this.
1328
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,107
Harry, will you take me home?
1329
00:53:22,209 --> 00:53:24,006
No, not right now.
I do want to hear this.
1330
00:53:24,044 --> 00:53:26,410
Sit down, Edith.
You act like you believe him.
1331
00:53:26,446 --> 00:53:27,811
It's sacrilege.
1332
00:53:27,848 --> 00:53:29,008
How can it be sacrilege?
1333
00:53:29,116 --> 00:53:30,140
He hasn't said anything yet.
1334
00:53:30,217 --> 00:53:32,811
The new New Testament is sacrilege.
1335
00:53:32,853 --> 00:53:35,720
There are a dozen new New Testaments,
1336
00:53:35,755 --> 00:53:38,588
From Hebrew to Greek
to Latin to Tyndale,
1337
00:53:38,625 --> 00:53:40,422
all the way to King James,
1338
00:53:40,460 --> 00:53:41,722
all revisionist,
1339
00:53:41,761 --> 00:53:44,025
and all called revealed truth.
1340
00:53:44,064 --> 00:53:47,227
I mean a new New Testament in 100 words.
1341
00:53:47,267 --> 00:53:49,565
I can give you the ten
commandments in ten words:
1342
00:53:49,636 --> 00:53:51,126
Don't. Don't, don't, don't,
1343
00:53:51,171 --> 00:53:52,968
Don't, don't, don't,
don't, don't, don't.
1344
00:53:53,039 --> 00:53:54,529
Don't.
1345
00:53:54,641 --> 00:53:57,667
The commandments are just modern
updates of more ancient laws.
1346
00:53:57,744 --> 00:53:59,473
Hammurabi's code.
1347
00:53:59,546 --> 00:54:01,980
That's right, they
weren't the first, right?
1348
00:54:02,015 --> 00:54:04,950
Edith, I was raised on the Torah...
1349
00:54:04,985 --> 00:54:06,384
My wife, on the Koran.
1350
00:54:06,486 --> 00:54:08,078
My oldest son is an atheist.
1351
00:54:08,121 --> 00:54:09,918
My youngest is a Scientologist.
1352
00:54:09,990 --> 00:54:11,685
My daughter is studying Hinduism.
1353
00:54:11,725 --> 00:54:15,991
I imagine that there is room there
for a holy war in my living room,
1354
00:54:16,029 --> 00:54:18,190
but we practice live and let live.
1355
00:54:19,533 --> 00:54:21,000
Why don't you sit down?
1356
00:54:28,108 --> 00:54:31,009
What is your preferred
version of the Bible?
1357
00:54:31,044 --> 00:54:32,443
The King James, of course.
1358
00:54:32,512 --> 00:54:34,980
It's the most modern, the
work of great scholars.
1359
00:54:35,015 --> 00:54:36,505
Modern is good.
1360
00:54:38,318 --> 00:54:40,513
All right, John,
hit us with the short form.
1361
00:54:42,556 --> 00:54:44,581
Guy met the Buddha, liked what he heard,
1362
00:54:44,624 --> 00:54:46,421
thought about it for a while -
1363
00:54:46,459 --> 00:54:48,222
say 500 years, while he returned
1364
00:54:48,261 --> 00:54:50,229
to the Mediterranean,
1365
00:54:50,263 --> 00:54:52,128
became an Etruscan.
1366
00:54:52,232 --> 00:54:53,893
Seeped into the Roman empire.
1367
00:54:53,934 --> 00:54:55,629
He didn't like what they became -
1368
00:54:55,669 --> 00:54:57,830
A giant killing machine.
1369
00:54:57,938 --> 00:54:59,565
He went to the Near East thinking,
1370
00:54:59,639 --> 00:55:02,836
"Why not pass the Buddha's
teachings on in a modern form."
1371
00:55:02,876 --> 00:55:05,071
So he tried.
1372
00:55:05,111 --> 00:55:07,272
One dissident against Rome?
1373
00:55:07,314 --> 00:55:08,406
Rome won.
1374
00:55:08,481 --> 00:55:09,812
The rest is history.
1375
00:55:09,883 --> 00:55:12,374
Well, sort of. Lot of
fairy tales mixed in.
1376
00:55:15,188 --> 00:55:17,122
I knew it.
1377
00:55:17,190 --> 00:55:19,124
He's saying he was Christ.
1378
00:55:19,192 --> 00:55:20,989
Oh, no. That's the medal
1379
00:55:21,094 --> 00:55:23,392
they pinned on Jesus
to fulfill prophecy.
1380
00:55:23,430 --> 00:55:24,590
The crucifixion.
1381
00:55:24,631 --> 00:55:27,623
He blocked the pain
as he had learned to do
1382
00:55:27,701 --> 00:55:28,998
in Tibet and India.
1383
00:55:29,035 --> 00:55:31,401
He also learned to
slow his body processes
1384
00:55:31,438 --> 00:55:34,032
down to the point where
they were undetectable.
1385
00:55:34,107 --> 00:55:35,472
They thought he was dead.
1386
00:55:35,508 --> 00:55:36,805
So his followers pulled him
1387
00:55:36,910 --> 00:55:39,140
from the cross, placed him in a cave...
1388
00:55:39,212 --> 00:55:41,840
His body normalized as
he had trained it to.
1389
00:55:43,116 --> 00:55:45,550
He attempted to go away undetected,
1390
00:55:45,619 --> 00:55:48,053
but some devotees were standing watch.
1391
00:55:49,522 --> 00:55:51,922
Tried to explain.
1392
00:55:51,958 --> 00:55:54,324
They were ecstatic.
1393
00:55:54,427 --> 00:55:56,827
Thus, I was resurrected,
1394
00:55:56,930 --> 00:55:58,898
and I ascended to central Europe
1395
00:55:58,932 --> 00:56:00,797
to get away as far as possible.
1396
00:56:00,867 --> 00:56:03,335
You don't mean a word of this, John.
1397
00:56:03,370 --> 00:56:05,338
My God, why are you doing this?
1398
00:56:05,372 --> 00:56:06,896
Let me see your wrists.
1399
00:56:06,973 --> 00:56:08,372
I don't scar.
1400
00:56:08,408 --> 00:56:10,000
Besides, they tied me...
1401
00:56:10,076 --> 00:56:13,239
but nails and blood make
better religious art.
1402
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,408
All the speculations about Jesus.
1403
00:56:16,483 --> 00:56:18,178
He was black, he was Asian,
1404
00:56:18,218 --> 00:56:20,686
he was a blue-eyed Aryan
with a golden beard
1405
00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:23,120
and hair straight out
of Vidal Sassoon's,
1406
00:56:23,189 --> 00:56:26,352
He was a benevolent alien,
he never existed at all.
1407
00:56:26,393 --> 00:56:28,486
Now he's a caveman.
1408
00:56:28,528 --> 00:56:31,622
The Christ figure goes all
the way back to Krishna -
1409
00:56:31,698 --> 00:56:32,687
Hercules, of course.
1410
00:56:32,732 --> 00:56:33,699
Hercules?
1411
00:56:33,733 --> 00:56:36,429
Born of a virgin, Alcmene.
1412
00:56:36,503 --> 00:56:39,097
A god for a father, Zeus.
1413
00:56:39,139 --> 00:56:41,699
The only begotten.
1414
00:56:41,741 --> 00:56:44,301
The savior
- The Greek? Soter.
1415
00:56:44,411 --> 00:56:46,504
The good shepherd, the prince of peace,
1416
00:56:46,546 --> 00:56:49,071
bringing gentle persuasion
and divine wisdom.
1417
00:56:49,115 --> 00:56:51,913
He died, joined his father on Olympus
1418
00:56:51,951 --> 00:56:54,647
a thousand years before Gethsemane.
1419
00:56:54,721 --> 00:56:58,589
How can you compare pagan
mythology to the true word?
1420
00:56:58,625 --> 00:57:01,093
Pretty damn closely, I'd say.
1421
00:57:01,161 --> 00:57:03,561
The early Christian leaders,
1422
00:57:03,596 --> 00:57:05,496
they threw away Hebrew manuscripts
1423
00:57:05,565 --> 00:57:08,466
and borrowed from pagan
sources all over the place.
1424
00:57:08,501 --> 00:57:11,061
Do you realize how...
1425
00:57:11,171 --> 00:57:13,366
inconsiderately you're
treating my feelings?
1426
00:57:13,406 --> 00:57:16,898
About as inconsiderately
as we're treating John's.
1427
00:57:16,976 --> 00:57:19,171
Well, he doesn't
believe what he's saying!
1428
00:57:19,212 --> 00:57:21,772
Do you believe literally
everything in the Bible, Edith?
1429
00:57:21,815 --> 00:57:22,873
Yes!
1430
00:57:22,982 --> 00:57:24,279
Before you say it,
1431
00:57:24,384 --> 00:57:27,012
I know it's undergone a lot of changes,
1432
00:57:27,087 --> 00:57:29,521
But God has spoken through man
1433
00:57:29,589 --> 00:57:31,523
to make his word clearer.
1434
00:57:31,591 --> 00:57:33,991
He couldn't get it right the first time?
1435
00:57:34,027 --> 00:57:37,224
We're imperfect! He had to
work to make us understand.
1436
00:57:37,297 --> 00:57:40,391
He couldn't get us right
the first time, Edith?
1437
00:57:40,433 --> 00:57:43,231
Taken alone, the
philosophical teachings of Jesus
1438
00:57:43,303 --> 00:57:45,328
are Buddhism with a Hebrew accent.
1439
00:57:45,405 --> 00:57:49,171
Kindness, tolerance, brotherhood, love,
1440
00:57:49,209 --> 00:57:50,836
a ruthless realism acknowledging
1441
00:57:50,910 --> 00:57:54,141
that life is as it is here
on Earth, here and now.
1442
00:57:54,214 --> 00:57:57,274
The kingdom of God, meaning goodness,
1443
00:57:57,317 --> 00:58:00,309
is right here, where it should be.
1444
00:58:00,353 --> 00:58:02,378
"I am what I am becoming."
1445
00:58:02,455 --> 00:58:04,013
That's what the Buddha brought in.
1446
00:58:04,057 --> 00:58:05,388
And that's what I taught.
1447
00:58:05,458 --> 00:58:08,427
But a talking snake
make a lady eat an apple,
1448
00:58:08,461 --> 00:58:09,553
So we're screwed.
1449
00:58:09,596 --> 00:58:11,086
Heaven and hell were peddled
1450
00:58:11,164 --> 00:58:14,395
so priests could rule
through seduction and terror,
1451
00:58:14,467 --> 00:58:17,664
save our souls that we never
lost in the first place.
1452
00:58:17,704 --> 00:58:19,262
I threw a clean pass...
1453
00:58:19,372 --> 00:58:21,431
they ran it out of the ballpark.
1454
00:58:21,474 --> 00:58:24,170
This is blasphemy.
1455
00:58:24,210 --> 00:58:27,008
It's horrible! Who else were you?
1456
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,344
Solomon, Elvis, Jack the ripper?
1457
00:58:29,382 --> 00:58:31,441
It's been said that Buddha and Jesus
1458
00:58:31,484 --> 00:58:33,543
would laugh or cry if they'd known
1459
00:58:33,586 --> 00:58:34,985
what was done in their name.
1460
00:58:35,021 --> 00:58:36,818
And if there is a creator,
1461
00:58:36,890 --> 00:58:39,688
he'd probably feel the same way.
1462
00:58:39,726 --> 00:58:42,286
I see ceremony, ritual, processions,
1463
00:58:42,328 --> 00:58:44,990
genuflecting, moaning, intoning,
1464
00:58:45,031 --> 00:58:47,693
venerating cookies and wine,
1465
00:58:47,734 --> 00:58:49,429
and I think...
1466
00:58:49,502 --> 00:58:50,867
It's not what I had in mind.
1467
00:58:50,904 --> 00:58:52,201
But that's Vatican flapdoodle.
1468
00:58:52,238 --> 00:58:54,706
It doesn't have a thing to do with God.
1469
00:58:54,741 --> 00:58:57,869
As you said, John,
everywhere, religions...
1470
00:58:57,911 --> 00:59:00,971
from exalting life to
purging joy as a sin.
1471
00:59:01,047 --> 00:59:03,641
Rome does it as grand opera.
1472
00:59:04,951 --> 00:59:06,680
A simple path to goodness needs
1473
00:59:06,753 --> 00:59:08,687
a supernatural roadmap.
1474
00:59:08,755 --> 00:59:10,780
Supernatural...
1475
00:59:10,857 --> 00:59:13,451
A stupid word, I mean...
1476
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,425
Anything that happens,
happens within nature,
1477
00:59:15,462 --> 00:59:17,555
whether we believe in it or not.
1478
00:59:17,597 --> 00:59:19,656
Like a 14,000-year-old caveman.
1479
00:59:28,508 --> 00:59:30,635
I- I-I drove for a while,
1480
00:59:30,677 --> 00:59:32,804
and then I sat for a while.
1481
00:59:32,879 --> 00:59:34,176
I'm so ashamed.
1482
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:35,941
And I'm freezing.
1483
00:59:35,982 --> 00:59:37,176
Well, come inside.
1484
00:59:37,283 --> 00:59:39,376
I still don't believe you, of course.
1485
00:59:39,419 --> 00:59:40,386
You need help.
1486
00:59:40,487 --> 00:59:41,419
Everybody needs help.
1487
00:59:41,488 --> 00:59:43,581
Yes, well, some more than others.
1488
00:59:57,604 --> 00:59:59,697
From the Buddha to the cross,
1489
00:59:59,739 --> 01:00:04,438
I have always imagined
both as entirely mythic -
1490
01:00:04,511 --> 01:00:06,809
but I would like to hear more.
1491
01:00:06,913 --> 01:00:09,541
May I lie on the couch for a moment?
1492
01:00:09,616 --> 01:00:12,210
I'm not as young as I used to be.
1493
01:00:14,921 --> 01:00:15,910
Ohh!
1494
01:00:18,124 --> 01:00:22,117
So, you were Jesus.
1495
01:00:22,161 --> 01:00:25,255
Well, perhaps somebody had to
be, for better or for worse.
1496
01:00:25,331 --> 01:00:26,958
The jury is still out.
1497
01:00:27,033 --> 01:00:30,025
When did you begin to
believe you were Jesus?
1498
01:00:30,069 --> 01:00:33,163
When did you begin to believe
you were a psychiatrist?
1499
01:00:33,239 --> 01:00:36,231
Since I graduated Harvard medical school
1500
01:00:36,342 --> 01:00:39,004
and finished my residency,
I've had that feeling.
1501
01:00:39,045 --> 01:00:41,275
Oh, I sometimes dream about it.
1502
01:00:41,347 --> 01:00:43,474
Have you acted upon this belief?
1503
01:00:43,550 --> 01:00:45,916
I had a private practice for a while,
1504
01:00:45,952 --> 01:00:47,419
and then I taught.
1505
01:00:47,453 --> 01:00:48,852
Nothing unusual -
1506
01:00:48,888 --> 01:00:52,153
oh, until one day, I met a caveman
1507
01:00:52,191 --> 01:00:54,716
who thought he was Jesus.
1508
01:00:54,761 --> 01:00:57,195
Do you find that unusual?
1509
01:00:57,263 --> 01:00:59,697
Very. I would stake my reputation
1510
01:00:59,766 --> 01:01:01,996
he is as sane as I am,
1511
01:01:02,101 --> 01:01:05,002
so why does he persist in such a story?
1512
01:01:05,038 --> 01:01:07,165
There must be a reason, though.
1513
01:01:07,206 --> 01:01:09,071
Unless I imagined it all?
1514
01:01:09,108 --> 01:01:10,302
Is that possible?
1515
01:01:10,410 --> 01:01:12,207
I think you're as sane as he is.
1516
01:01:12,245 --> 01:01:13,940
Oh, God, I-
1517
01:01:14,013 --> 01:01:15,640
No.
1518
01:01:17,216 --> 01:01:20,151
Did you ever find it
prudent to worship yourself
1519
01:01:20,219 --> 01:01:21,948
rather than be thought a heretic?
1520
01:01:22,021 --> 01:01:23,147
That would be something.
1521
01:01:23,222 --> 01:01:25,747
Other times, Christianity
was considered heresy.
1522
01:01:25,825 --> 01:01:27,520
I had to pretend other faiths.
1523
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:31,621
And what does Jesus have
to say to those present
1524
01:01:31,664 --> 01:01:34,030
who find it difficult to believe in him?
1525
01:01:34,067 --> 01:01:36,661
Believe in what he tried to teach,
1526
01:01:36,736 --> 01:01:38,636
without rigmarole.
1527
01:01:38,671 --> 01:01:41,333
Piety is not what the
lessons bring to people.
1528
01:01:41,374 --> 01:01:44,036
It's the mistake they
bring to the lessons.
1529
01:01:51,451 --> 01:01:54,181
Well, it's getting to be night.
1530
01:01:55,688 --> 01:01:57,849
I still have stuff to carry
1531
01:01:57,890 --> 01:02:00,154
and a long drive.
1532
01:02:00,193 --> 01:02:01,683
I'll help.
1533
01:02:01,728 --> 01:02:05,323
John, do you have
a destination in mind?
1534
01:02:06,699 --> 01:02:08,064
Never mind.
1535
01:02:08,101 --> 01:02:09,500
I won't ask.
1536
01:02:10,536 --> 01:02:11,525
Thank you.
1537
01:02:18,911 --> 01:02:21,709
Anyone mentally ill can imagine
1538
01:02:21,748 --> 01:02:24,740
a fantastic background,
even an entire life,
1539
01:02:24,817 --> 01:02:27,012
and sincerely believe it.
1540
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,645
The man who thinks he is Napoleon
1541
01:02:29,722 --> 01:02:31,519
does believe it.
1542
01:02:31,624 --> 01:02:34,491
His true identity has taken a backseat
1543
01:02:34,527 --> 01:02:37,428
to his delusion and the need for it.
1544
01:02:37,463 --> 01:02:39,431
If that's the case with John,
1545
01:02:39,465 --> 01:02:41,433
there is a grave disorder.
1546
01:02:41,467 --> 01:02:43,833
Organized brilliantly.
1547
01:02:43,936 --> 01:02:45,927
He's got an answer for everything.
1548
01:02:46,039 --> 01:02:48,633
It might involve
rejection of his father,
1549
01:02:48,675 --> 01:02:50,302
of his entire early past,
1550
01:02:50,343 --> 01:02:51,935
replaced by this fantasy.
1551
01:02:51,978 --> 01:02:54,071
He says he can't remember his father.
1552
01:02:54,147 --> 01:02:55,045
Precisely why?
1553
01:02:55,148 --> 01:02:56,672
You said he was sane.
1554
01:02:56,749 --> 01:02:57,977
Did I?
1555
01:02:59,452 --> 01:03:01,818
Do you think that perhaps our caveman
1556
01:03:01,888 --> 01:03:03,617
has a monkey on his back?
1557
01:03:03,690 --> 01:03:05,180
Drugs?
1558
01:03:05,291 --> 01:03:06,690
No, no, no, no.
1559
01:03:06,726 --> 01:03:09,160
I've done a lot of consulting
work with narcotics.
1560
01:03:09,195 --> 01:03:11,254
I've seen people tripping, strung out--
1561
01:03:11,297 --> 01:03:13,356
Whatever's up with John, it isn't that.
1562
01:03:13,399 --> 01:03:15,230
I've looked for signs - none.
1563
01:03:15,301 --> 01:03:17,030
Could cavemen really talk?
1564
01:03:17,103 --> 01:03:19,503
We think that language
came into existence
1565
01:03:19,539 --> 01:03:20,733
60,000 years ago.
1566
01:03:20,807 --> 01:03:22,798
The structure of stone age culture
1567
01:03:22,842 --> 01:03:25,106
is evidence of the
ability to communicate -
1568
01:03:25,144 --> 01:03:26,509
verbally.
1569
01:03:28,247 --> 01:03:30,408
Oh, shut up.
1570
01:03:39,559 --> 01:03:41,754
Maybe it'd be easier if I were.
1571
01:03:41,828 --> 01:03:42,920
Crazy?
1572
01:03:44,230 --> 01:03:45,720
No.
1573
01:03:58,945 --> 01:04:01,573
That is fascinating, isn't it,
1574
01:04:01,614 --> 01:04:04,708
a brave attempt to teach
Buddhism in the west.
1575
01:04:04,784 --> 01:04:06,445
It's no wonder he failed.
1576
01:04:06,486 --> 01:04:08,078
We're not ready for it.
1577
01:04:08,187 --> 01:04:10,587
You're talking
as if you believed him.
1578
01:04:10,623 --> 01:04:12,750
Well, it is possible, isn't it?
1579
01:04:12,792 --> 01:04:14,760
I mean, anything is possible.
1580
01:04:14,794 --> 01:04:16,989
Look, we have two simple choices.
1581
01:04:17,029 --> 01:04:19,190
We can get all bent out of shape
1582
01:04:19,232 --> 01:04:21,598
intellectualizing or
bench-pressing logic,
1583
01:04:21,634 --> 01:04:24,228
or we can simply relax and enjoy it.
1584
01:04:24,303 --> 01:04:25,998
I can listen critically,
1585
01:04:26,105 --> 01:04:29,438
but I don't have to make
up my mind about anything.
1586
01:04:29,509 --> 01:04:30,908
But you think you do?
1587
01:04:30,943 --> 01:04:33,639
Well, unfortunately, there's
no authorities on prehistory,
1588
01:04:33,713 --> 01:04:35,408
so we couldn't stop him there.
1589
01:04:35,515 --> 01:04:37,278
There are experts on the Bible.
1590
01:04:37,316 --> 01:04:38,840
Dream on.
1591
01:04:38,918 --> 01:04:41,216
Yeah, thus the lost years of Jesus.
1592
01:04:41,254 --> 01:04:43,916
He didn't exist until John put on a hat.
1593
01:04:43,956 --> 01:04:47,983
I don't believe in angels and the
Nativity and the star in the east,
1594
01:04:48,027 --> 01:04:51,121
but there are stories about
the childhood of Jesus.
1595
01:04:51,164 --> 01:04:53,530
History hates a vacuum.
1596
01:04:53,566 --> 01:04:56,126
Improvisation, some of it very sincere,
1597
01:04:56,169 --> 01:04:57,227
fills the gaps.
1598
01:04:57,336 --> 01:04:58,633
It would have been easy
1599
01:04:58,671 --> 01:05:01,469
to falsify a past back then.
1600
01:05:01,574 --> 01:05:04,907
A few words, credulity...
time would do the rest.
1601
01:05:04,977 --> 01:05:07,002
Now you're talking as
if you believed him.
1602
01:05:07,079 --> 01:05:09,479
Well, look at the
popular myths surrounding
1603
01:05:09,515 --> 01:05:11,915
the Kennedy assassination
in a few short years.
1604
01:05:11,984 --> 01:05:14,953
You had, uh, conspiracy, mafia, CIA.
1605
01:05:14,987 --> 01:05:17,888
That's a mystique that'll never go away.
1606
01:05:17,990 --> 01:05:21,790
It's always been a small step
from a fallen leader to a god.
1607
01:05:21,828 --> 01:05:24,626
I don't think anybody
will deify Kennedy.
1608
01:05:24,697 --> 01:05:26,631
We're more sophisticated than that.
1609
01:05:26,699 --> 01:05:28,166
We are?
1610
01:05:28,201 --> 01:05:29,793
We are.
1611
01:05:33,406 --> 01:05:35,636
Well, you're finally fulfilling
1612
01:05:35,708 --> 01:05:37,938
one prophecy about the millennium, John.
1613
01:05:38,010 --> 01:05:39,875
What's that?
1614
01:05:39,912 --> 01:05:41,743
Here you are again.
1615
01:05:51,357 --> 01:05:53,325
You like the fire, John.
1616
01:05:53,359 --> 01:05:56,851
Everywhere I've lived,
I've had a fireplace.
1617
01:05:56,929 --> 01:05:59,363
Childhood fixation, I guess.
1618
01:06:00,967 --> 01:06:02,992
Helps me to feel secure.
1619
01:06:04,403 --> 01:06:06,462
There are predators out there.
1620
01:06:08,908 --> 01:06:10,705
One thing I didn't pack...
1621
01:06:10,776 --> 01:06:12,573
I thought I might need it.
1622
01:06:19,785 --> 01:06:23,084
Wouldn't Sacre du Printemps
be more appropriate?
1623
01:06:23,122 --> 01:06:24,180
What?
1624
01:06:25,791 --> 01:06:27,816
You've got...
1625
01:06:27,894 --> 01:06:31,057
four men of science
completely baffled, my friend.
1626
01:06:31,097 --> 01:06:33,588
We-We don't know what to make of you.
1627
01:06:33,633 --> 01:06:36,397
Did you know Voltaire
was the first to suggest
1628
01:06:36,435 --> 01:06:39,871
that the universe was created
by a gigantic explosion?
1629
01:06:39,906 --> 01:06:42,136
I think Paul would agree.
1630
01:06:42,208 --> 01:06:44,608
And then Goethe was the first to suggest
1631
01:06:44,644 --> 01:06:48,546
that spiral nebulae were
swirling masses of stars.
1632
01:06:48,614 --> 01:06:50,707
We now call them galaxies.
1633
01:06:50,750 --> 01:06:53,412
It's kind of funny how
often new concepts of science
1634
01:06:53,519 --> 01:06:56,386
find their first tentative
forms of expression in the arts.
1635
01:06:56,422 --> 01:07:00,449
So did Beethoven do physics on the side?
1636
01:07:00,493 --> 01:07:04,589
He spent most of his
time lying on the floor
1637
01:07:04,664 --> 01:07:06,256
in front of his legless piano
1638
01:07:06,365 --> 01:07:09,061
surrounded by orange
peels and apple cores.
1639
01:07:11,270 --> 01:07:14,068
Now we're on the floor
listening to Beethoven.
1640
01:07:15,308 --> 01:07:16,798
Full circle.
1641
01:07:16,876 --> 01:07:19,174
Did you have, um...
1642
01:07:20,279 --> 01:07:21,974
any religious beliefs,
1643
01:07:22,014 --> 01:07:24,244
or did you give it much thought?
1644
01:07:24,283 --> 01:07:26,513
You can't get there with thought.
1645
01:07:26,585 --> 01:07:28,177
You have faith?
1646
01:07:28,220 --> 01:07:29,778
In a lot of things.
1647
01:07:29,889 --> 01:07:32,915
Do you have faith in
the future of the race?
1648
01:07:32,992 --> 01:07:34,892
I've seen species come and go.
1649
01:07:34,927 --> 01:07:36,986
Depends on their balance
with the environment.
1650
01:07:38,698 --> 01:07:40,393
We've made a mess of it.
1651
01:07:40,433 --> 01:07:42,094
There's still time,
1652
01:07:42,134 --> 01:07:43,726
if we use it well.
1653
01:07:43,803 --> 01:07:46,499
Christianity has been a worldwide belief
1654
01:07:46,539 --> 01:07:48,200
for 2,000 years.
1655
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,435
How long did the Egyptians worship Isis
1656
01:07:50,509 --> 01:07:52,033
or the Sumerians Ishtar?
1657
01:07:52,111 --> 01:07:54,739
In India, sacred cows wandered freely
1658
01:07:54,814 --> 01:07:56,543
as reincarnated souls.
1659
01:07:56,615 --> 01:07:58,276
In a thousand years,
they'll be barbecued
1660
01:07:58,317 --> 01:07:59,909
and their souls will be in squirrels.
1661
01:07:59,952 --> 01:08:01,283
You weren't Jesus!
1662
01:08:03,356 --> 01:08:04,550
Oh, Edith.
1663
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:10,090
If... it rains...
It won't.
1664
01:08:10,162 --> 01:08:11,459
How do you know that?
1665
01:08:11,497 --> 01:08:12,862
I don't smell it.
1666
01:08:16,302 --> 01:08:17,269
Were you...
1667
01:08:18,571 --> 01:08:20,801
I guess... a medicine man?
1668
01:08:20,873 --> 01:08:23,000
I was a shaman a few times.
1669
01:08:23,075 --> 01:08:26,408
I revealed some truths
to eat a little better.
1670
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,471
You think that's all
religion is about...
1671
01:08:29,515 --> 01:08:32,006
selling hope and survival?
1672
01:08:32,084 --> 01:08:34,609
The Old Testament sells fear and guilt.
1673
01:08:34,687 --> 01:08:37,155
The New Testament is
a good code of ethics,
1674
01:08:37,189 --> 01:08:39,623
put into my mouth by
poets and philosophers
1675
01:08:39,692 --> 01:08:41,751
that are much smarter than I am.
1676
01:08:41,794 --> 01:08:43,819
The message is never practiced.
1677
01:08:44,997 --> 01:08:46,624
Fairy tales build churches.
1678
01:08:47,700 --> 01:08:49,827
What about the name "Jesus"?
1679
01:08:49,902 --> 01:08:51,995
Did you pull that out of a hat?
1680
01:08:52,038 --> 01:08:54,370
I called myself John.
1681
01:08:54,407 --> 01:08:56,637
I almost always do.
1682
01:08:56,709 --> 01:08:58,700
As tales of the resurrection spread,
1683
01:08:58,744 --> 01:09:01,474
the name was confused
with the Hebrew "Yochanan,"
1684
01:09:01,547 --> 01:09:03,310
Meaning "God is gracious."
1685
01:09:03,349 --> 01:09:05,078
My stay on Earth was seen
1686
01:09:05,151 --> 01:09:08,780
as divine proof of immortality.
1687
01:09:08,854 --> 01:09:12,449
That led to "God is salvation"
1688
01:09:12,491 --> 01:09:13,958
or Hebrew "Yahshua,"
1689
01:09:13,993 --> 01:09:17,156
which in translation
became my proper name,
1690
01:09:17,196 --> 01:09:19,790
changing to late Greek, "Iesous,"
1691
01:09:19,865 --> 01:09:22,356
then to late Latin, "Iesus,"
1692
01:09:22,401 --> 01:09:24,961
and finally medieval Latin, "Jesus,"
1693
01:09:25,071 --> 01:09:28,006
and it was a wonder
to watch it all happen.
1694
01:09:28,074 --> 01:09:31,134
Then you didn't claim
to be the son of God?
1695
01:09:31,177 --> 01:09:34,203
Began as a schoolhouse
and ended as a temple.
1696
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,841
I said I had a master that
was greater than myself.
1697
01:09:37,883 --> 01:09:39,851
I never said he was my father.
1698
01:09:39,885 --> 01:09:41,785
I wanted to teach what I learned.
1699
01:09:41,887 --> 01:09:43,878
I never claimed to be king of the Jews,
1700
01:09:43,989 --> 01:09:47,083
I never walked on water,
I never raised the dead.
1701
01:09:47,126 --> 01:09:50,425
I never spoke of divine
except in the sense
1702
01:09:50,496 --> 01:09:52,589
of human goodness on Earth.
1703
01:09:56,135 --> 01:09:59,730
No wise men came from the
east to worship at a manger.
1704
01:09:59,772 --> 01:10:01,831
I did do a little healing
1705
01:10:01,907 --> 01:10:03,738
with some eastern medicine I'd learned.
1706
01:10:06,545 --> 01:10:07,637
That's it.
1707
01:10:11,450 --> 01:10:13,315
The three wise men began as a myth
1708
01:10:13,352 --> 01:10:15,217
about the birth of the Buddha.
1709
01:10:19,959 --> 01:10:23,918
John, I should be home,
uh, kissing my wife.
1710
01:10:26,132 --> 01:10:28,293
We're all here, trapped by your story...
1711
01:10:29,768 --> 01:10:35,536
hoping for a...
revolution? I don't know.
1712
01:10:38,878 --> 01:10:40,812
Are there any, uh...
1713
01:10:40,846 --> 01:10:42,780
more revelations for us?
1714
01:10:49,255 --> 01:10:51,155
It's just like old times.
1715
01:10:57,796 --> 01:10:59,764
You weren't Jesus.
1716
01:11:02,601 --> 01:11:04,899
Quote the sermon on the mount.
1717
01:11:04,937 --> 01:11:06,199
Which one?
1718
01:11:06,238 --> 01:11:09,435
Darby, King James,
new American standard?
1719
01:11:09,508 --> 01:11:11,271
Do you know them all?
1720
01:11:11,343 --> 01:11:14,506
No one knows the one, not even me.
1721
01:11:14,547 --> 01:11:15,809
I...
1722
01:11:15,915 --> 01:11:18,179
I did some teaching on a hill one day.
1723
01:11:18,217 --> 01:11:20,242
Not that many people stayed.
1724
01:11:20,286 --> 01:11:21,344
But you...
1725
01:11:21,420 --> 01:11:23,411
Biblical Jesus said,
1726
01:11:23,455 --> 01:11:25,889
"Who do you think I am??"
1727
01:11:25,925 --> 01:11:28,325
He gave them a choice.
1728
01:11:29,862 --> 01:11:31,227
I'm giving you one.
1729
01:11:34,233 --> 01:11:35,564
Were you?
1730
01:11:37,570 --> 01:11:40,232
If I said no, could you ever be sure?
1731
01:11:57,389 --> 01:11:59,323
Turn that off.
1732
01:11:59,358 --> 01:12:00,222
Please.
1733
01:12:03,329 --> 01:12:05,320
This has gone far enough.
1734
01:12:05,397 --> 01:12:07,297
It's gone much too far.
1735
01:12:07,399 --> 01:12:09,890
These people are very upset.
1736
01:12:09,935 --> 01:12:12,403
I don't believe you're mad,
1737
01:12:12,504 --> 01:12:14,734
But what you're saying is not true.
1738
01:12:15,908 --> 01:12:18,706
That leaves only one explanation.
1739
01:12:19,912 --> 01:12:21,971
The time has come when you must admit
1740
01:12:22,014 --> 01:12:23,208
this is a hoax...
1741
01:12:24,917 --> 01:12:26,111
A lie.
1742
01:12:26,218 --> 01:12:29,779
Isn't that true, John?
1743
01:12:29,855 --> 01:12:32,619
If you don't drop this now
- If you can -
1744
01:12:32,658 --> 01:12:34,125
I'll be convinced
1745
01:12:34,226 --> 01:12:37,127
that you need a great deal of attention.
1746
01:12:37,162 --> 01:12:40,097
I can have you committed
for observation.
1747
01:12:40,132 --> 01:12:41,759
You know that.
1748
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:43,700
I ask you now
1749
01:12:43,736 --> 01:12:45,567
- I demand it -
1750
01:12:45,638 --> 01:12:48,664
that you tell these people the truth.
1751
01:12:48,741 --> 01:12:51,972
Give them closure.
1752
01:12:52,044 --> 01:12:55,241
It's time, John.
1753
01:12:55,281 --> 01:12:56,441
Please.
1754
01:13:10,095 --> 01:13:12,825
End of the line. Everybody off.
1755
01:13:16,101 --> 01:13:18,035
What?!
1756
01:13:18,103 --> 01:13:20,230
It was a story.
1757
01:13:20,306 --> 01:13:22,399
It was all a story.
1758
01:13:23,409 --> 01:13:24,307
Good God!
1759
01:13:26,111 --> 01:13:27,874
Another fairy tale?
1760
01:13:27,913 --> 01:13:29,608
All of it? But what--?
1761
01:13:29,648 --> 01:13:31,013
What in the name of heaven...?
1762
01:13:31,116 --> 01:13:33,311
John, you had us wondering
whether you were sane or not,
1763
01:13:33,352 --> 01:13:34,910
and it's just a story!
1764
01:13:34,953 --> 01:13:38,252
Where'd you come off with such
a half-baked, asinine idea?
1765
01:13:38,324 --> 01:13:40,053
At least you're relieved I'm not a nut.
1766
01:13:40,125 --> 01:13:41,717
I'd prefer you were!
1767
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:43,352
You gave me the idea.
1768
01:13:43,429 --> 01:13:44,760
All of you.
1769
01:13:44,830 --> 01:13:46,058
Come again?
1770
01:13:46,131 --> 01:13:47,689
Edith saw my fake Van Gogh.
1771
01:13:47,733 --> 01:13:49,132
You could have just told me.
1772
01:13:49,168 --> 01:13:50,760
You commented that I never age.
1773
01:13:50,836 --> 01:13:52,360
You gave me the book on early man.
1774
01:13:52,438 --> 01:13:53,928
Dan, you spotted the burin
1775
01:13:54,039 --> 01:13:55,666
and you said, "if stones could speak."
1776
01:13:55,741 --> 01:13:57,265
I knew it.
1777
01:13:57,343 --> 01:13:59,743
I got the notion, I ran it past you
1778
01:13:59,778 --> 01:14:02,303
to check your reactions,
and I took it too far.
1779
01:14:02,381 --> 01:14:03,678
Too far?
1780
01:14:03,716 --> 01:14:05,183
Check my reaction.
1781
01:14:05,217 --> 01:14:07,777
You asked if I was a figure
from religious history,
1782
01:14:07,820 --> 01:14:09,287
if there were others like me,
1783
01:14:09,321 --> 01:14:10,720
if I'd created future identities.
1784
01:14:10,789 --> 01:14:13,917
We were chasing our
tails around the maypole,
1785
01:14:13,992 --> 01:14:17,086
enjoying the mystery,
the analytical stretch.
1786
01:14:17,129 --> 01:14:19,029
You were playing my game!
1787
01:14:19,098 --> 01:14:20,588
I was playing yours.
1788
01:14:20,632 --> 01:14:23,226
Oh, man, you know,
you had us going, right?
1789
01:14:23,302 --> 01:14:24,428
You were good, man.
1790
01:14:24,503 --> 01:14:25,936
You know those Chinese boxes,
1791
01:14:26,004 --> 01:14:29,064
one inside the other inside
the other inside the other?
1792
01:14:29,108 --> 01:14:32,134
I feel like I'm in the last box.
1793
01:14:32,211 --> 01:14:34,441
You son of a...
1794
01:14:34,513 --> 01:14:35,445
bitch!
1795
01:14:35,514 --> 01:14:37,038
How could you do this to us?
1796
01:14:37,116 --> 01:14:39,107
I was worried about you.
1797
01:14:39,151 --> 01:14:41,483
I know, I was tempted
to cop out many times,
1798
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:43,852
But I couldn't resist
seeing whether or not
1799
01:14:43,922 --> 01:14:45,617
you could refute what I was saying.
1800
01:14:45,657 --> 01:14:47,557
I had the perfect audience.
1801
01:14:47,626 --> 01:14:49,457
Anthropologist, archaeologist,
1802
01:14:49,528 --> 01:14:51,553
Christian literalist...
1803
01:14:51,630 --> 01:14:53,723
a psychologist.
1804
01:14:53,766 --> 01:14:55,825
Okay, I've had enough of this.
1805
01:14:55,868 --> 01:14:57,927
I'm outta here.
You wanna come? Let's go.
1806
01:14:59,071 --> 01:15:00,197
So, John.
1807
01:15:00,272 --> 01:15:01,864
Are you gonna write the story?
1808
01:15:01,907 --> 01:15:03,499
If I do, I'll send you copies.
1809
01:15:03,575 --> 01:15:05,736
Don't bother with mine, okay?
1810
01:15:05,778 --> 01:15:07,973
You are absolutely certifiable.
1811
01:15:08,013 --> 01:15:09,708
I don't know you!
1812
01:15:12,084 --> 01:15:14,416
It was nice seeing
you again, Dr. Oldman.
1813
01:15:15,888 --> 01:15:17,617
Your name's a pun, isn't it?
1814
01:15:17,689 --> 01:15:18,621
Old man?
1815
01:15:20,526 --> 01:15:23,120
Did that help you with your story?
1816
01:15:23,195 --> 01:15:24,719
Linda!
1817
01:15:26,398 --> 01:15:27,490
Bye.
1818
01:15:30,936 --> 01:15:32,904
Well, Art was half right.
1819
01:15:34,440 --> 01:15:35,907
Which half?
1820
01:15:38,710 --> 01:15:41,702
Well, at least I don't
have to throw away half
1821
01:15:41,747 --> 01:15:43,510
of what I know about biology.
1822
01:15:43,549 --> 01:15:45,141
Which half?
1823
01:15:46,752 --> 01:15:48,811
It's a beautiful idea,
1824
01:15:48,854 --> 01:15:52,722
so rich, so full of possibilities.
1825
01:15:54,026 --> 01:15:56,085
Perhaps you should write
a paper on it, doctor.
1826
01:15:56,128 --> 01:15:57,823
Maybe I will.
1827
01:15:57,863 --> 01:15:59,956
I'll interview you in the rubber room
1828
01:15:59,998 --> 01:16:01,465
for further details.
1829
01:16:01,500 --> 01:16:03,559
You may still need help, my friend.
1830
01:16:17,082 --> 01:16:18,481
My ass.
1831
01:16:18,584 --> 01:16:20,677
I thought it sounded pretty good.
1832
01:16:20,719 --> 01:16:22,812
They believe you because they have to.
1833
01:16:22,888 --> 01:16:24,879
But the one thing that I know about you
1834
01:16:24,923 --> 01:16:26,413
is that you would never use people
1835
01:16:26,492 --> 01:16:28,221
or abuse their goodwill and intelligence
1836
01:16:28,293 --> 01:16:29,954
like they think you've
just done to them.
1837
01:16:29,995 --> 01:16:31,087
Psych 101?
1838
01:16:31,129 --> 01:16:33,689
No, it's woman,
one-on-one.
1839
01:16:33,732 --> 01:16:36,496
So you're a pretty fast liar, Mr. Ugg,
1840
01:16:36,535 --> 01:16:39,231
But I wanna know:
What's your real name?
1841
01:16:39,304 --> 01:16:44,241
Believe it or not, the
sound was always John.
1842
01:16:44,309 --> 01:16:46,174
Why'd you cave to Gruber?
1843
01:16:46,211 --> 01:16:47,838
What happened was enough.
1844
01:16:47,913 --> 01:16:49,403
Just- just needed to stop.
1845
01:16:49,515 --> 01:16:51,642
I shouldn't have expected it to work.
1846
01:16:53,051 --> 01:16:54,985
Fourteen thousand years old.
1847
01:16:55,020 --> 01:16:56,954
I bet that's a lot of women.
1848
01:16:57,022 --> 01:16:58,956
Are we counting?
1849
01:16:59,024 --> 01:17:00,252
Maybe.
1850
01:17:02,261 --> 01:17:04,286
Well, I'm taking Edith home.
1851
01:17:04,363 --> 01:17:05,261
Sandy?
1852
01:17:06,598 --> 01:17:08,156
I'm gonna stay.
1853
01:17:12,170 --> 01:17:14,900
Are you sorry for some
of those things you said?
1854
01:17:14,973 --> 01:17:17,464
I'm sorry I said them.
1855
01:17:17,509 --> 01:17:18,908
Well.
1856
01:17:18,977 --> 01:17:20,444
Like a good Christian,
1857
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,607
I... oh, John.
1858
01:17:23,682 --> 01:17:25,479
Oh! Well.
1859
01:17:26,618 --> 01:17:28,882
You did a terrible thing,
1860
01:17:28,921 --> 01:17:31,287
but we're all so
thankful you're all right.
1861
01:17:31,390 --> 01:17:34,416
Even Art. He just hates
things he can't understand.
1862
01:17:34,493 --> 01:17:36,188
You're a sadist, John,
1863
01:17:36,295 --> 01:17:38,320
But I admit I got a kick out of
1864
01:17:38,397 --> 01:17:40,126
chasing my tail around your maypole...
1865
01:17:40,198 --> 01:17:42,325
Even if that is all I caught.
1866
01:17:42,401 --> 01:17:43,493
Good luck to you.
1867
01:17:43,535 --> 01:17:45,093
Wish you the best. Thank you.
1868
01:17:45,137 --> 01:17:46,126
Ready?
1869
01:17:55,213 --> 01:17:57,044
Later on.
Okay, good night.
1870
01:17:59,885 --> 01:18:00,749
Mm-hmm.
1871
01:18:04,156 --> 01:18:05,350
Mmm.
1872
01:18:05,457 --> 01:18:08,290
I don't know, man.
1873
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:10,328
Something about this...
1874
01:18:10,362 --> 01:18:12,592
something about you, John.
1875
01:18:12,664 --> 01:18:14,791
The more I think about it,
1876
01:18:14,866 --> 01:18:17,699
the more I'm no longer
in that Chinese box.
1877
01:18:19,671 --> 01:18:21,468
I sense... space.
1878
01:18:21,506 --> 01:18:26,409
A kinda latitude of what
we happily call reality,
1879
01:18:26,478 --> 01:18:29,470
in which, as everybody keeps saying...
1880
01:18:30,816 --> 01:18:32,511
anything's possible.
1881
01:18:32,584 --> 01:18:34,449
Yes. No, no. No, no.
1882
01:18:34,486 --> 01:18:36,283
No. No more words.
1883
01:18:36,321 --> 01:18:38,016
I'm gonna go home,
1884
01:18:38,090 --> 01:18:39,887
and I'm gonna watch Star Trek
1885
01:18:39,925 --> 01:18:41,984
for a dose of sanity.
1886
01:18:42,027 --> 01:18:44,018
Good luck to you, man,
1887
01:18:44,096 --> 01:18:46,496
wherever this may lead you.
1888
01:18:46,531 --> 01:18:48,897
You drop me a line sometime.
1889
01:18:48,934 --> 01:18:50,731
Let me know how you're making out.
1890
01:18:52,337 --> 01:18:53,304
I will.
1891
01:19:04,750 --> 01:19:07,583
So, John Oldman.
1892
01:19:07,653 --> 01:19:10,213
What other pun names have you used?
1893
01:19:10,255 --> 01:19:11,552
Lots.
1894
01:19:13,091 --> 01:19:16,151
John Paley for John Paleolithic,
1895
01:19:16,194 --> 01:19:18,560
John Savage...
1896
01:19:18,597 --> 01:19:20,690
Got really crazy about 60 years ago,
1897
01:19:20,766 --> 01:19:22,563
when I was teaching at Harvard,
1898
01:19:22,601 --> 01:19:25,365
I was John Thomas Partee.
1899
01:19:25,470 --> 01:19:27,961
John T. Partee -
Boston tea party.
1900
01:19:28,006 --> 01:19:29,166
I get it.
1901
01:19:29,207 --> 01:19:30,401
Yeah, I know.
1902
01:19:30,475 --> 01:19:31,601
Wait, wait, wait.
1903
01:19:31,677 --> 01:19:33,975
Boston?
1904
01:19:34,012 --> 01:19:36,105
60 years ago?
1905
01:19:36,181 --> 01:19:38,274
J-John Partee?
1906
01:19:42,187 --> 01:19:46,715
You did not teach chemistry!
I do not believe you!
1907
01:19:47,993 --> 01:19:50,587
Your mother's name was Nola.
1908
01:19:50,629 --> 01:19:51,823
No. Yeah.
1909
01:19:51,897 --> 01:19:53,888
No.
1910
01:19:53,932 --> 01:19:56,400
Yes, Nola.
1911
01:19:56,435 --> 01:19:58,096
My mother!
1912
01:19:59,438 --> 01:20:01,030
I reject this!
1913
01:20:02,641 --> 01:20:04,632
My-My-My dog's name.
1914
01:20:05,744 --> 01:20:07,644
We had him before I was born.
1915
01:20:07,713 --> 01:20:08,645
Woofie.
1916
01:20:08,714 --> 01:20:10,045
Woof, woof, woofie...
1917
01:20:15,554 --> 01:20:17,488
Gruber. She remarried?
1918
01:20:17,522 --> 01:20:19,456
She said you abandoned us.
1919
01:20:20,525 --> 01:20:22,152
Sorry, I had to move on.
1920
01:20:22,227 --> 01:20:23,956
You know that. I left enough.
1921
01:20:24,029 --> 01:20:26,122
- I left enough.
- I'm cold.
1922
01:20:26,164 --> 01:20:28,257
Chilly Willy, always cold.
1923
01:20:28,333 --> 01:20:30,324
Never could stand the cold.
1924
01:20:30,368 --> 01:20:34,065
Wait, you-- you had a beard.
1925
01:20:34,139 --> 01:20:35,731
Yeah, you used to tug on it
1926
01:20:35,774 --> 01:20:37,298
to see if it was real.
1927
01:20:37,342 --> 01:20:38,866
Agh! Will!
1928
01:20:38,944 --> 01:20:39,774
God.
1929
01:20:41,246 --> 01:20:42,645
911, now!
1930
01:20:44,649 --> 01:20:46,446
Come on, Will.
1931
01:20:46,485 --> 01:20:47,577
Will.
1932
01:20:47,652 --> 01:20:48,584
Come on, buddy.
1933
01:21:20,752 --> 01:21:22,811
You'll stay in touch, Dr. Oldman,
1934
01:21:22,854 --> 01:21:24,947
in case there are any questions.
1935
01:21:25,023 --> 01:21:27,082
I'll be back for the funeral.
1936
01:21:27,125 --> 01:21:28,114
Miss.
1937
01:21:38,436 --> 01:21:40,563
You never saw a grown child die.
1938
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:42,972
No.
