Unknown Broadcast | "Mirage"

Unknown Broadcast | "Mirage"

The episode, titled "Mirage," immerses listeners in a chilling tale narrated by Arch Oboler, emblematic of the show's series of unusual and unsettling narratives. The ambience is set with personal reflections on the reality of good fortune and the facade that can accompany it, leading the audience into a world where deception lurks beneath the surface of daily life.

As the story unfolds, we are introduced to the central characters, Carl and Linda, who are attending a social gathering at a coastal estate. The dialogue highlights the tension between Carl’s work-centric lifestyle and Linda's desire for deeper social connections. Their conversation meanders through various topics, blending mundane discussions about parties, societal expectations, and the changing seasons while juxtaposing a profound sense of unease as they take a walk on the beach. The calm ocean serves as a deceptive backdrop, contrasting with the inner turmoil of the characters as they confront their personal limitations and fears.

The narrative takes a turn when they encounter an old man sitting alone on the beach, writing names in the sand. The old man's actions provoke curiosity and fear in Carl and Linda. As the moonlight flickers in and out, the man writes names—including theirs—drawing them into a surreal and eerie experience. The tension escalates as Carl experiences dizziness and Linda feels a deep connection to the old man’s mysterious activity. Their reality bends as the man’s cryptic writings allude to their identities and maybe even their fates.

As the old man’s presence becomes more significant, Carl and Linda grapple with their own mortality and the weight of their choices. Linda's health fluctuates as they confront the possibility of their lives being tethered to the enigmatic names being inscribed in the sand. The surrealism intensifies when Carl and Linda come to believe that the old man's writing could predict their futures—sparking a dual exploration of existential dread and the search for meaning in their lives.

In a moment of hysteria and clarity, they contemplate their lives and the ephemerality of time. The narrative explores deeper philosophical themes around living fully and embracing the present, juxtaposing that against the weight of societal expectations and personal ambitions. As they begin to feel the burden of impending outcomes, Linda discovers a sense of liberation in knowing her potential timeline, illuminating a path to self-discovery and personal desires that had long been overshadowed by duties and conventions.

The conclusion of the story leaves listeners with a profound reflection on the nature of life, love, and the longing for freedom amidst constraints. Carl realizes that the mirage isn't just about the fleeting happiness of life but also about the false permanence of grief and dread many people believe in. The closing rates a poignant reminder to cherish the present and live life to its fullest, moving beyond the fears that often confine individuals to their own cages.

Through "Mirage," the episode artfully intertwines rich character development, poignant dialogue, and philosophical musings, crafting a hauntingly beautiful narrative that resonates long after the show concludes. The storytelling technique emphasizes the unique qualities of radio drama, drawing listeners into a visceral experience that reflects not just on the characters’ lives but also prompts introspection on their own realities.

It's a great night. How about little walk in the beach?

00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:34.719
All right, but.

31
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.400
Quickly before someone changes my mind.

You know, I never could understand the hunters. They build

35
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:52.400
this place here on the shore, and then when they

36
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.639

37
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.599

Thank you, Carl. I didn't come out here for the air.

40
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.840

I've always liked you and are you like you?

44
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.039
I've tried to understand you as you are, But must

45
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:22.520
you be so antisocial?

46
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:24.360
Antisocially?

47
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.199
The Lenslas had a dinner party last night.

48
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.560
Oh oh that the office. I couldn't take away.

49
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.759
The carters were expecting you the night before last at

00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:33.680

51
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:35.000
I'm a business, Car.

52
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.680
You can't disappoint people continually and expect.

53
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.560
Them to have any regard for my friends. Know I'm

54
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:40.159
a busy man.

55
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.400
You and I belong to a step that demands certain

56
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:45.199
social obligations from us.

57
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:47.759
I wonder if you know how pompous that sounds.

58
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.360
Promison not is the truth? Oh Carl, you can't just

59
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.639
ignore social obligations.

60
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:01.120
I'm here, am I not ocean? Rather calm, isn't it?

61
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.240
They were talking about you only last week at the

62
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:04.240
Pages Pages.

63
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.520
Hey, jab made a good thing out of international motors

64
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.639
last week must have cleaned up a quarter of a million.

65
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.000
Someone mentioned your name, and this other person laught and said,

66
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.360
tell't about him unless you let him bring his stock chickens.

67
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:19.480
Ida, man, I hear.

68
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:20.560
The same about you wherever I go.

69
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:20.879
Car.

70
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.079
It isn't a man I know who spends as much

71
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:23.920
time at work as you do.

72
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.800
That's what I want. Why shouldn't I, Oh, Car, understand me.

73
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.879
I appreciate the importance of the money, but after all,

74
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:43.120
you could find time for your friends.

75
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:42.079
When you last I just remembered I why I wanted

76
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.680
to be alone with you. Well, I was going to

77
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.399
lecture you. What lecture really I was? I was going

78
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.360
to tell you that you've been burning the social candle

79
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.839
at both ends, or words to that effect. Really you are,

80
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.839
you know, bazaars and style shows and all that nonsense.

81
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.079
But you took the offensive, so I forgot what I

82
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.199
wanted to say, and that's remains.

83
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.600
You're remembering a great number of things, don't you.

84
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.360
Yep. One of the things was to tell you that

85
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:10.920
you're looking very lovely tonight.

86
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:12.439
The man's human.

87
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:18.040
You're irritated with me, answered I am.

88
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.639
Oh, Carl, you could be an utterly charming man if

89
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.199
you'd forget your stocks and bombs and the benches and

90
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:26.839
all the rest of that for a while and start enjoying.

91
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.720
Linda, Now you've got me irritated just because my idea

92
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.319
of living doesn't include a room full of jabbling idiots.

93
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:38.560
No wait a minute, Linda, Oh Linda, let's call.

94
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:40.360
It truth some this. After all, we're a couple of

95
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:41.120
mature people.

96
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.040
Let's act maturely and leave each other alone and enjoy

97
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:46.839
the night, how about it.

98
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:49.759
Oh you're hopeless, but.

99
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.600
All right, good, we'll get off on safe subject to

100
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.160
see the weather, the moon June, the number of days

101
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:57.920
Christmas exactly.

102
00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.959
We'll start with the sea came.

103
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:01.720
He walks the first cost.

104
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.800
No, I forgot. The sand must be ruining your slippery,

105
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:07.319
so we to check to heart.

106
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.160
I'm quite all right, just don't walk too.

107
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.959
Far right, fine place the hunters have here.

108
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.040
They do have successful parties.

109
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.040
Yeah, and they bought this place right for twenty nine.

110
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.720
I understand they tried to unload it all through the depression,

111
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.680
but couldn't get even enough to cover the land value.

112
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:29.639
Did you hear about artists debut? Margaret naturally wanted to

113
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.040
have it at the town. Margaret Town insisted on their

114
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:32.600
country place.

115
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:33.879
Well, that's understandable.

116
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.639
Before time dropped enough and that amalgamated merger to make

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.959

00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.040
capital investment of an organization without jeopardize.

120
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.920

00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.639

00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.959

I can't quite make up. Do you see anything down

127
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:14.319
there near the water's dead?

128
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.000
Well, yes, there is something there.

00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:22.600
It's so dad, call it it moved? I saw?

130

Is it a dog?

131

I'm not sure?

132
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:28.000
Let's go curse it?

133
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.399
No, Linda, wait, Linda, come back.

158
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.399
Cor I, I don't like this at all.

159
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:49.279
Come away?

160
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:50.120
What is it? Nothing?

161
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:51.720
Let it at all?

162
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.399
If it's if the old man wants to see get

163
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.360
in the dark in the sand letting, why does it conturn?

164
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.720
What's you writing? I?

165
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:06.799
Uh, I can't quite make a the.

166
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.879
Moon went under car? Well, I'm sorry. I want to

167
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:16.080
see what the man's writing. What are you writing? Old man?

168
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.360
Old man? Don't you hear me talking to you?

169
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:19.519
Then?

170
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:23.480
Where's your curiosity? A deserted beach at the midnight? An

171
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.559
old man writing heaven knows what in the sand? Aren't

172
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:26.480
you interested in knowing?

173
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:29.840
I'm not interested in maniacs? Who else but a psychopathic?

174
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.919
Any? Wait? Wait, the moon's coming through the cars again.

175
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:41.600
Now we'll see you see it too. He's writing names

176
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:48.320
in the sand, names of people. What is it, Linda,

177
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.840
it's it's face.

178
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:57.559
What do you say, Fay, did you see you see?

179
00:09:58.159 --> 00:09:58.480
No?

180
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.519
No, I didn't see it, Linda. What's the matter? See

181
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.039
what about his face? There's any blasted close? I can't see?

182
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:10.399
Yeah?

183
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:18.720
Light again, there's nothing wrong with his face, sir, I thought,

184
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.480
just no. Man must be a gardener writing names in

185
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:23.039
the sand.

186
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:24.720
I want to know who he is.

187
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.519
Well, now, you're curious.

188
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.039
I want to know who he is, Carl.

189
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:32.559
And I'm certainly going to find out. Old man, we

190
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.000
insist on knowing who you are?

191
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:40.960
Do you hear me? Old man? We insist? Hm, No

192
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:42.279
attention must be death.

193
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.360
So'm covering the moon.

194
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:51.320
See he's so green even in the night.

195
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.480
Carl, I'm cool. Let's go in.

196
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.240
If that isn't like a woman, one miniature curious in

197
00:10:58.320 --> 00:10:59.720
the next miniature, cold.

198
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:06.720
Means bright. Now look, look you can see some of

199
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.120
the names he's writing John.

200
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:21.159
Barclay March second, nineteen thirty nine. But that's today. Well,

201
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:22.320
how do you don't like that?

202
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:28.120
He wiped the name up and he's writing another one, Jim.

203
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:39.039
Ellison March second, nineteen thirty nine.

204
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:46.080
Wipe that out, writing another one name after me? Why,

205
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:52.679
old man? Can you hear me? Why? What?

206
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:53.720
What would you say?

207
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.840
He's certainly not drunk, I s so write so intent

208
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:02.679
on his work? And what what did you say?

209
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.399
He seems too busy?

210
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:07.000
Linda?

211
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.240
What is there about this old man that disturbed you?

212
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.840
I think he's funny. Very little, unshaven old man crossed

213
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:14.919
over writing names in the sand with a point of

214
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.679
his finger. That's a serious career, A career for one's

215
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.159
old age, the olderhead, no competition, no profit, Sit in

216
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.279
the open air and right in the sands of time, Linda,

217
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.639
I tell you, when I get to old the wall street,

218
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:27.679
I think I'll join.

219
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:29.600
This old Huh.

220
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:36.360
Look your name, he's writing your name?

221
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:44.440
Well, what do you know about the old fraud? Came here?

222
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:45.200
Ah?

223
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:47.519
Much overheard? You say, made.

224
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:51.080
Your last name?

225
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.679
He's writing it too, But that's impossible.

226
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:02.639
Oh, hey, you.

227
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:04.840
He doesn't know.

228
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:10.879
Gee boy, I slowly formed each letter.

229
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:12.720
How does he?

230
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:14.039
No?

231
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:20.399
Why does he ride? Come? God? What it is? I

232
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:25.759
don't know. Let's just see. So don't don't let me see.

233
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:27.399
Oh I love.

234
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:34.840
You. I can't bring you home.

235
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.159
I don't want you up. I help me, don't come.

236
00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:58.519
He's standing up again.

237
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.519
Hey, I feel all right?

238
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:04.000
What happened?

239
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.240
Why did you frighten herself?

240
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:12.600
My name? Mis send where you.

241
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:16.360
Came in and writes it out before he sings.

242
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.759
Old man? Why did you write my name? How'd you

243
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.480
know who I was? Anthony? Why did you write my name?

244
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:23.720
What difference does that make?

245
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:24.000
Carl?

246
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.480
You're ill? Let's get back to the house.

247
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:29.000
No, No, I feel find sudden business. But I'm alright.

248
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:30.639
I want to know how and why they don't.

249
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:32.480
He's writing me.

250
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:44.679
Eh, I and your name, d ah, Carl, take me

251
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:45.120
home away?

252
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:52.080
He can't possibly know your last name? Jay, Yeah, he

253
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:52.679
does know it.

254
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:54.320
Please.

255
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.039
I don't know if he.

256
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:04.159
R fighting, was just slowly as if he wasn't quite sure,

257
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.320
But he does not, Linda horder, will do you imagine

258
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:10.080
he knows?

259
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:11.240
Linda?

260
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.320

261
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:23.200
Help Linda? Linda? What is it? Who? Hold me? Yes?

262
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.559

264
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.799
Oh? Bender? Linda?

Oh what?

266
00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:47.360
Carl?

267
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.200
Why are you holding me in your arms?

268
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:54.320
You? You were ill standing?

269
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:56.639
What are you talking about?

270
00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:58.559
Are you joking?

271
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:00.200
What is there a joke about?

272
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:01.720
Call?

273
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:02.559
Please?

274
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:03.200
Let go with me?

275
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.440
All right? My name?

276
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:17.039
He was writing my name? Where is this? He's writing

277
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:17.799
another name for.

278
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:21.840
His mom not wave must have washed it out before

279
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.480
he finished.

280
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:28.080
I remember now, my heart.

281
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:36.960
I couldn't see darkness. I was falling, falling your face

282
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.000
so why so high?

283
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.200
As you wrote my name? I felt as if I

284
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:50.960
were dying? And then you you felt that way too

285
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:54.360
as you wrote your name, didn't you? Yes?

286
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:54.759
I did?

287
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:07.720
How cold is it? H? You're writing? Oh? No? Good moment?

288
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:19.960
God stay still.

289
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:20.279
Live darker in the darkness.

290
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:28.039
H I guess are you Linda?

291
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:32.839
Stay away from him? Don't Linda? Linda?

292
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:34.319
What is it?

293
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:35.519
No?

294
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:37.079
What?

295
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:39.480
No one?

296
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:43.960
Yeah, but but he was here.

297
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.759
I tell him stop. Find him?

298
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:48.680
And I got to know.

299
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:57.519
Where are you? Old man with me? We've gotta catch him.

300
00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.920
Come here, old man?

301
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:06.240
Wait, old man, wait, you weren't that weird? I want

302
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:13.240
to talk to you.

303
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:18.200
No one, I there is the other way at the

304
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:18.759
edge of the water.

305
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.119
Old man, wait, old man, wait for me.

306
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:24.400
Came away, So.

307
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:26.920
Where do you stop?

308
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:34.960
No one? I thought I saw, but there's no one.

309
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:41.759
If only the moon came out again before me. Come

310
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.519
So it's the plastered moon.

311
00:18:45.640 --> 00:19:03.759
Get out, come out, Oh man, business you live last.

312
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.599
It's of course I will lasting what we just heard

313
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:17.599
the wind, our friends back at the house, and hit friends.

314
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:20.559
That wind and the sound of them talking. Is it

315
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:22.920
clears my head? That must have been out of my head.

316
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:27.519
I'll his time, and you too, and our friends. Yes, yes,

317
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.880
our friends back there only a few hundred feet from here.

318
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:33.920
Lights and music and reality.

319
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:37.160
It has in reality the winder.

320
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.640
All my life, I've been a practical man. My life

321
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.200
has been like my business. Everything has had Debethon credits

322
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.480
this that's been happening to us. My head clear now

323
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:51.440
I can think of it in practical terms. Tell me,

324
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:56.440
we met an old man riding in the sand. He

325
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.000
wrote my name and mine too. All that was real enough.

326
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:04.200
Now then how did he know our name? Yes, simple enough,

327
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:08.000
you and I are not unknown. He must have been

328
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.599
an old gardener, I mean, have stayed here. Yes, he

329
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:13.519
heard of it and then heard us call each other

330
00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:16.200
by a given name, and so he knew the rest

331
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:16.400
of this.

332
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:19.759
But when he wrote our names, yes, yes, yes, I

333
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:20.720
know the dizzeyinness.

334
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:22.319
It's all quite easily explained.

335
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.920
Back in the house, the air was bad. We came outside,

336
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.519
both of us nerves on edge, too much fresh air.

337
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:34.400
Dizziness followed, and oh, why talk about it anymore. Let's

338
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:37.160
go back to the house. Yes, yes, captain, that's so

339
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:37.640
fast to.

340
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.400
A phone, all right, faster, car, I want to get back.

341
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:43.680
I drink, that's what I need, A drink of two

342
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:50.000
or three, a dozen? So very dark internal clouds. Let's

343
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:51.079
stay along the water's.

344
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:51.720
Edge as to walk.

345
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:54.599
Yes, fantasy in the night, that's all it was. We

346
00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:57.680
let our imaginations run away with it. Imagine things that

347
00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:58.480
didn't exist.

348
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:07.440
Ah, why do you stop? Why are you finding mm hmmm,

349
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:09.640
he's writing.

350
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:22.039
Okay, he's there writing again, Old man, old man, don't

351
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:22.359
leave me.

352
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.000
I'm going to talk now.

353
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:31.720
Gone again, gone again.

354
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:33.519
Getting back to the heart quickly.

355
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:35.640
Okay, we're gonna stand there.

356
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:47.680
We're running with the moon shining down, training me everything,

357
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:49.480
those training.

358
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:56.000
Just streaming. Yes, at the edge of the water.

359
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:01.319
But names are names, Our names the same. It's a

360
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:02.319
date after.

361
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:03.440
Mine and mine.

362
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:07.720
I can't Jesus the dates.

363
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:12.680
What a wave that's coming, Linda, come down, I've got lia.

364
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:22.599
I.

365
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:27.240
Oh, I did two?

366
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:29.880
The date when?

367
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:38.119
The date when? I No, No, it isn't true. It isn't.

368
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:40.920
It isn't a date written in the sand. It doesn't

369
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:42.079
mean anything. It doesn't.

370
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:48.119
It doesn't, does it, Linda, I.

371
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.440
Didn't seek it would be so soon.

372
00:22:53.759 --> 00:23:07.359
You believe, Yes, I do too, somehow too. No, No,

373
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:09.359
I won't believe. I won't.

374
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:13.079
I've going to live a long time, fifty sixty more years.

375
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:16.799
My family then lives, long lives. My father, my grandfather,

376
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.680
is kept a true car.

377
00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:22.079
Don't be so afraid.

378
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:26.240
You're not.

379
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:33.240
I am, And yet somehow it's.

380
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:35.160
Wonderful, wonderful.

381
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:43.039
Yes, wonderful. But every person in the world wants to know,

382
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:49.119
we know you and I.

383
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:51.920
It'll be spring that year when I know.

384
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.119
I don't think of it that way, the wonder of it.

385
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:57.960
Car think of that.

386
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.680
I never thought much of the wonderful things.

387
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:05.759
Oh my good DearS like whine, I've heard them call

388
00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:05.960
it that.

389
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:08.680
I never believed the breath could be so wonderful.

390
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:15.799
If a man planned every minute it was left, how

391
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:16.599
much you could do.

392
00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:20.200
That's why I say it's wonderful, girl, I know what

393
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:22.680
I have left. I can say I'm the days they

394
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:25.319
all live, each one, because I know just how many

395
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:25.839
of them I have.

396
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:33.920
Carl, Oh, Carl, I'm almost heavy now, heavy?

397
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:40.119
Yes, yes, why not? Now I'll do the things I've

398
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:40.720
wanted to do.

399
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:53.000
Yes, everyone, I never really wanted that, but you, because

400
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.359
that was the part my mother had gone, the one

401
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:56.079
she led me to.

402
00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:00.880
That all the time, the snobbery of money, those silly

403
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:02.079
little family destinies.

404
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.279
I wasn't happy because it wasn't what I really wanted.

405
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:11.079
I knew that, But I went on because because always

406
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:14.920
there was a tomorrow. I said to myself, tomorrow, some

407
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.359
you tomorrow. That not the life I want. I didn't know.

408
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.319
But now I know my tomorrow's card. I've got to

409
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:27.319
start now, and so I will, and so I'm happy.

410
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:30.119
What a child call?

411
00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:34.559
Yes, I want a child.

412
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:40.680
Yes, I've said what I never thought to say.

413
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:41.599
Now.

414
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:43.880
I used to laugh at people with their children, such clever,

415
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:46.240
brittle things, And all.

416
00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:51.119
Time my heart was in my eyes, a child.

417
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:05.000
On the mary. Yes, when you a night case.

418
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:07.400
You go?

419
00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:15.759
So I understand, ring go, I'm free from the park.

420
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:18.720
I'm free.

421
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:26.359
And you car what do mean? You do?

422
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:30.920
Hi? What would I do?

423
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:35.799
M What will you do tomorrow morning?

424
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:43.880
Hi? Tomorrow morning? Uh? I go back to my business

425
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:44.640
of course.

426
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.680
My lists?

427
00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:55.519
No, no, God, you're holding.

428
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:59.319
Yes, Linda, Linda, you and I we've got to be together. Oh,

429
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.880
you're right, there can be happening here. So these days

430
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:08.839
and months were free. I have never been free, have

431
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:10.960
I the cage of my business money?

432
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:13.079
I am free now?

433
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:18.000
Yes, I am travel in the You and I the

434
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.119
world will climb up to these singing stars of yours.

435
00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:29.799
When I was a boy, I always thought I'd do that, travel,

436
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:37.720
travel free, this little world, all of it mine to

437
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.240
know and have. I thought there was plenty of time

438
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.119
to start tomorrow. That always be a tomorrow for me. Yes,

439
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:45.920
I was immortal.

440
00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:50.519
I thought that really most of us do, don't we.

441
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:54.079
Everybody else in the world would live their lives and die.

442
00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:58.599
But I always inside of me, I thought I'd live forever.

443
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:01.279
And so I climbed into a page and stayed there.

444
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:03.519
Oh Holy, so.

445
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:10.160
You and I live there together free until that be.

446
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:20.000
Said said, Oh my goodness, why did it take the.

447
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:22.839
Tea check how to live?

448
00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:43.319
It is later then, you.

449
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:45.400
Thing?

450
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:59.640
You know, you know, as I've thought more about what

451
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:01.920
we were talking about. What's that?

452
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:02.319
Oh?

453
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:05.799
Of course, of course I'll refill this couple as I

454
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:09.160
think about it more. Sometimes I wonder if in life

455
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:15.400
the mirage isn't necessarily the good moments in life. Maybe

456
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:21.119
it's the idea that dearly the bad moments I here

457
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.680
to stay, and that they're everywhere around us. Maybe it's

458
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:27.839
the idea that under every stone unturned will be dreaded

459
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:34.119
and sadness, because that is absolutely a lie, a lie,

460
00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:39.440
many of us tell ourselves. But look at me getting

461
00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:42.279
carried away. All right, my dear, I think it's about

462
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:44.400
time for you to go home. You have a warm

463
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.079
bed beckoning you and I have well, whatever it is

464
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:52.759
that I have during the daylighte So please get home, savors,

465
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:59.680
and remember be thankful for what you have. I'll see

466
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:00.480
you to morning.

467
00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:14.680
From the goose and romblingnoumbling, rombling, mumbling climate.

468
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:15.599
Drink of bag
