You're the man.
1:06:03
Chang told me. You're the first who....
1:06:06
Two hundred years ago.
1:06:10
You're still alive, Father Perrault.
1:06:22
Sit down, my son.
1:06:32
You may not know it,
but I've been an admirer of yours...

1:06:37
...for a great many years.
1:06:39
Not of Conway,
the empire builder and public hero.

1:06:43
I wanted to meet the Conway
who in one of his books said:

1:06:49
"There are moments in every man's life
when he glimpses the eternal."

1:06:58
That Conway seemed to belong here.
1:07:03
In fact, it was suggested
that someone be sent to bring him here.

1:07:07
That I be brought here?
Who had that brilliant idea?

1:07:10
Sondra Bizet.
1:07:13
The girl at the piano?
1:07:15
Yes. She has read your books
and has a profound admiration for you.

1:07:22
As have we all.
1:07:24
Of course, I've suspected
that our being here was no accident.

1:07:28
Furthermore, I have a feeling
we're never supposed to leave.

1:07:31
But that, for the moment,
doesn't concern me greatly.

1:07:33
I'll meet that when it comes.
1:07:36
What particularly interests me at present
is why was I brought here?

1:07:40
What possible use can I be
to an already thriving community?

1:07:44
We need men like you here...
1:07:46
...to be sure that our community
will continue to thrive.

1:07:50
In return for which
Shangri-La has much to give you.

1:07:55
You are still, by the world's standards,
a youngish man.
