1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am the fairy man.

2
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: The human spirit is my business. Their madness, their passion,

3
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: the wonderful and monstrous ways they burn out their brief candle.

4
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: I regret to tell you that very many American lives

5
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: in love.

6
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: What herd to shut from the car. He's dead. Whether

7
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: he rebird to president or four hours, people must get up.

8
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 3: And I.

9
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: Am here in the in between, to collect their spirits

10
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: and carry them to what comes next. This road is

11
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: not on any map. It spans the thresholds between their

12
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: most forbidden desires and their gris fear. All I ask

13
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: for in payment is a tale and accounting of their

14
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: lives and the great temporary that is the land of

15
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: the living.

16
00:01:29,640 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 4: These are their stories. This is the passage.

17
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: February twenty fourth, two thousand and six. The psychological landscape

18
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: of an American city in the dawn of a new millennium.

19
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: The covetous and the criminalized, the sceptered and the marginalized,

20
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: creators and their critics. This is a place where truth

21
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: has splintered into as many self reflections as there are onlookers,

22
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 2: millions of egos angling for positions on their own stages,

23
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: desperate to be seen by themselves, a million voices screaming

24
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: to hear themselves, all wanting to fit into their own experience.

25
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: Trapolis where loneliness and madness come to dance. And soon

26
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: there will be as many realities as there are souls,

27
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: each projecting themselves on their own screens. Already it is beginning,

28
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: the countless din of infinite echoes, all converging in an

29
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: ugliness so intricate and baroque that it takes a true

30
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 2: seer to divine the beauty in it. We meet one

31
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: up sere today, a conjurer of the future, if you will,

32
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: who spent her life struggling upward to see and be

33
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: seen herself a knife that cuts through the gristle of

34
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: the chaos of America to pull out its bloody, beating heart.

35
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: And once she has to describe it to us so

36
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: beautifully and viscerally that we cannot believe we've never seen it. Yeah,

37
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: there she is at the corner, there, waiting on this bus,

38
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: though she's not quite sure where it will take her.

39
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 5: Octavia, Come, Octavia, come.

40
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 6: Oh am, are your only passenger today?

41
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: Please take a seat.

42
00:04:54,279 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 7: I seem to have forgotten money, No matter, can.

43
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: I pay you with your words. Please?

44
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 7: What do I call you?

45
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: The ferryman?

46
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 7: Oh?

47
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 6: I am a fairy man too, I suppose I mean,

48
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 6: I listen, I carry.

49
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 7: I don't judge, do you.

50
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: It is not my way to judge, But my passengers

51
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: often seek validation.

52
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 6: Why not? We all want some affirmation. But critics can

53
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 6: be cruel. They will not hesitate to give a writer

54
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 6: a bad review, even in death, God like in their

55
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 6: power to destroy the things they can't understand.

56
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 7: You want the truth. I was my worst critic.

57
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I wouldn't worry about your judgment anymore

58
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 6: than any others. I've been judged my whole life.

59
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 7: When I was a child, I was only told what I.

60
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 6: Couldn't do, what I shouldn't do. Black girls don't write.

61
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 6: Black girls certainly don't write science fiction.

62
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: No.

63
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 6: Black girls don't win Hugo and Nebula awards. Black girls

64
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 6: certainly don't win MacArthur Fellowships.

65
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 4: Hum.

66
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 6: I didn't listen, though I blocked out the could nots

67
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 6: and should not. I chose to hear another voice instead,

68
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 6: Be who you are and not who someone else thinks

69
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 6: you ought to be. A voice said to me, voice

70
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 6: inside me. The same voice said rite I didn't have

71
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 6: time for dreaming. I didn't have time for inspiration. I

72
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 6: just wrote until it became habit. I faried hopes, I

73
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 6: faried fears, California dreaming the American dream. What happens to

74
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 6: a dream deferred? I couldn't tell you. I wrote, that's

75
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 6: the truth of it and the dream of it.

76
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 7: Some of us don't dream. We just do.

77
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 6: We write, and their story is still inside me.

78
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 7: Where are you taking me?

79
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: Well, Octavia?

80
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 6: That depends No, no, no, no, I want to go back.

81
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 6: I still have work to do. I didn't have a choice,

82
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 6: Just like this getting on your bus. There were no

83
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 6: choices but to pick up my pen, clean toilets are right,

84
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 6: be's some awful man, secretary or right? Be dead inside

85
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 6: or right? I didn't have a choice. Writing is private

86
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 6: until it isn't. Creating a story is a personal thing

87
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 6: between you and eternity. No one has to know the

88
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 6: worlds you create, the pain you exercise. It's an escape

89
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 6: until one day someone gives you fifteen dollars for a

90
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 6: few of your words, and you forget the privacy of

91
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 6: it all. Writing can set you free. It was my

92
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 6: way to freedom and of future. I couldn't see any

93
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 6: other way to get there, And again I had no choice.

94
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 7: The future chose me.

95
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: Here it continues to choose you.

96
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 6: You mean to say, I can't go back, only forward?

97
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 6: Do I have to do it alone? I might have

98
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 6: been too alone in life.

99
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 7: I don't want to be alone.

100
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: Now?

101
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 7: Wait? Who is this?

102
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 8: Do I know them?

103
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 7: Hello? Did she not see me?

104
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: She cannot?

105
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 7: Who is she?

106
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 6: I know her? A white woman carrying a young boy.

107
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 6: That the dress she wears covers her from ankle to chin,

108
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 6: but the hem of her skirt is caked in mud.

109
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 6: The boy is soaking, wet and not shivering. I know her,

110
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 6: I know the boy. They are out of time, but

111
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 6: I know them like I know my own reflection in

112
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 6: this window.

113
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: Ah, there are more.

114
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 7: And this young couple.

115
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 6: They sit next to the mother and child, as though

116
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 6: they cannot help it.

117
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 7: They are tied to each other. I know them too.

118
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 7: The woman looks like me.

119
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 6: If I could have made myself over, younger, marriageable, fierce

120
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 6: yet to come? I wonder if these spirits are kindred

121
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 6: to me my ancestors perhaps, or my lineage.

122
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 7: Or both? Are you doing this?

123
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: I don't invite these spirits? You do, aliens, monsters, You've

124
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: kept so many spirits with you. Why, I don't know.

125
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 7: I thought I knew, but now I'm not so sure.

126
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 8: Ah.

127
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 6: A pregnant man, a womanish creature. He's letting her sit first.

128
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 6: Now he settles in carefully next to her. His belly

129
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 6: protrudes slightly. It moves like the ocean. Something, something is

130
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 6: alive inside of him.

131
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 7: Now I remember these people.

132
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 6: Oh, somehow my characters never felt like something I gave

133
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 6: birth to. I form them out of clay, like God,

134
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 6: like Zeus. A man in a police uniform, a woman

135
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 6: speaking Spanish, A man carrying a rifle, the barrel radiating heat.

136
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 6: His whip is scaped over with blood strapped to his hip.

137
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 6: I see the female alien with blood on her claws.

138
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 6: An old man reads from a sacred text, but the

139
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 6: teen beside him writes her own. The monster inside the

140
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 6: pregnant belly stirs. The lady in the back, the one

141
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 6: that most resembles me. One of her arms is missing, gone,

142
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 6: and her husband cautiously holds the hand she still has.

143
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 6: She is indifferent to the absence of her limb and

144
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 6: the offer of his love. Sers not of this realm,

145
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 6: shadows from another world.

146
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 7: Aliens.

147
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 6: Alien is the word we use to describe that which

148
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 6: we cannot understand, which we cannot comprehend, something from beyond us,

149
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 6: something unknown, that which we fear the most. Ferrymen, How

150
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 6: many ways can you define alien? Is it by badge

151
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 6: or country? Is it skin or planet? Am I a

152
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 6: monster because my voice is too deep and my body

153
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 6: too strong? Are women monsters for death? Or men monsters

154
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 6: for making babies they don't want? I've seen it all,

155
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 6: I wrote to make sense of it. Could ever tell

156
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 6: me why bad things happened? Why evil people rise into

157
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 6: power for generations? Why the silence endure?

158
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 7: So I wrote?

159
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 6: I shaped the horror into something beautiful. I wrote from

160
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 6: the shadows. But shadows are real phenomenon, physical and obstruction

161
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 6: of light. I wrote from the shadows to make you

162
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 6: see them. I wrote in defiance to show people they

163
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 6: don't have to bend to the judgments of others. They

164
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 6: can live their own way.

165
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 7: Look at that.

166
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 6: The ocean at night. I love a drive up the Pacific.

167
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 6: Host writers are the most treacherous of criminals. I hurt,

168
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 6: I maim, I torture and kill. I set women on

169
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 6: hard journeys and tear open the stomachs of pregnant men.

170
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 6: I travel through time and space with no regard for

171
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 6: the laws of science. This is the blessed audacity of fiction.

172
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 6: I am stronger than Zeus on Olympus. Zeus fears me.

173
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 6: You driver, you fear me.

174
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: Ha ha.

175
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 6: It is a new feeling for you. I can see

176
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 6: that I haven't lived one life. I lived a thousand. Hell,

177
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 6: maybe you've taken me on this journey before, maybe a

178
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 6: thousand times. I am a criminal of eternity. People applauded

179
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 6: and paid me money to hurt and maim and kill.

180
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: Well.

181
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 6: I wish the applause and money had been easy. That

182
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 6: was a much tougher.

183
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 7: Journey one we're on now. But I have died before.

184
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 6: I died when they rejected my skin and my words.

185
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 6: I died when they rejected the tenor of my voice

186
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 6: or the strength of my stature. After every story, I died.

187
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 6: What becomes of you if you've died before, if you've

188
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 6: died again and again?

189
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 7: I need I need a hair high.

190
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: I can't breathe in air.

191
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 6: Smells strange, hair like a dream. The landscape outside lush evergreen?

192
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 7: What road is this? Driver?

193
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: You're changing it as we go? This too is your story.

194
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 6: Hum A dissipation of the haze into crystal blue clouds

195
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 6: are welcome. I like moments of shade as much as

196
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 6: I like sunshine. Shadows too, of course, the shadows are

197
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 6: a blessing these passengers on the bus. My character is

198
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 6: my children, the parables of my life. I used to

199
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 6: fear that they were wedged into tight sleeping places and

200
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 6: shackled to me in long chains.

201
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: But they aren't.

202
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 6: I said I had no choice, but now I'm not

203
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 6: sure that's quite true. I had many choices, but I

204
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 6: was so decisive, so determined, I felt my path destined.

205
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 7: And when I could not.

206
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 6: Write, I took for granted all that I had already written. Still,

207
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 6: every story I created created me. I wrote to create myself.

208
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 7: So what becomes of me now?

209
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 6: Ferrymen, I want to be free. I do not believe

210
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 6: in heaven or hell. Heaven is for the naive and

211
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 6: hell is for the jaded. For sensible people, I'd expect

212
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 6: a sensible after life.

213
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 7: There is no after or before.

214
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 3: Is there.

215
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 7: Just next to next to next?

216
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: Then tell me what is next?

217
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 7: This slow moving bus, where is it going?

218
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 6: I used up eight lives, hence my name, to get

219
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 6: to this last voyage.

220
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 7: Is this the dying American dream? Is this the last

221
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 7: underground railroad? With you?

222
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 6: Crawling through my self pity until I can finally see

223
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 6: the stars? Maybe my manifest destiny was to tell the

224
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 6: truth until it slept. I always thought my life was unfinished,

225
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 6: in need of revision. Maybe it is okay like this,

226
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 6: When I say I have so much more to say,

227
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 6: I forget. There may be other voices out there ready

228
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 6: to write those words, because I am able to do

229
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 6: both reach into the past and see into the future

230
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 6: to find the truth.

231
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 2: It did write the truth, didn't you?

232
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 6: I wrote my truth. Sometimes it felt like vengeance, but

233
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 6: the truth isn't vengeance. It's just the truth. I wrote

234
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 6: these stories for me, and others were drawn to them.

235
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 6: I'm grateful for that. And now these characters have chosen

236
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 6: to be with me. Yeah, what do you say, Ferryman?

237
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 6: Do they keep traveling with us? Or do I go

238
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 6: the rest of the way alone?

239
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 2: Well? Yeah, I don't make the decision.

240
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 7: Okay, then.

241
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: It seems uh, this is your stuff.

242
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 6: Look out the window, the beauty and terror of it all.

243
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 6: It is there, with or without me. I can't accept

244
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 6: that my words are eternal children, be well.

245
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: Thank you for the ride, Thank you for your words.

246
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: Where there was no path toward the future, she forged one.

247
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 2: Where the path was dark, She cast the light. A

248
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 2: photographer of the American psyche, Why then shouldn't she forge

249
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 2: her own afterlife? Don't tell anybody. I do wonder what

250
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: dreams she will spin into reality beyond the veil Ah.

251
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: It's not for me to know. All I can do

252
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: is listen and see her on her passage.
