1:18:02
What gave you the idea I'd fit in?
1:18:04
-That was easy. I'd read your books.
-You've read my books?
1:18:08
You do more things.
1:18:10
What have my books got to do with it?
1:18:12
I saw a man whose life was empty.
1:18:14
"A man whose life was empty."
1:18:16
I know, it was full of this and full of that.
But you were accomplishing nothing.
1:18:21
You were going nowhere and you knew it.
1:18:23
As a matter of fact, all I saw
was a little boy whistling in the dark.
1:18:26
"A little boy whistling...."
1:18:30
Do you realise that there was
a British cruiser waiting at Shanghai...
1:18:34
...smoke pouring out of its funnels,
tugging at its moorings...
1:18:37
...waiting to take Mr. Conway
back to London.
1:18:40
Do you know right now
there are headlines shrieking the news...
1:18:43
...that Conway's missing? Does that look
like a man who's life was empty?
1:18:47
Yes.
1:18:49
You're absolutely right.
1:18:51
I had to come to a pigeon house in
Shangri-La to find the only other person...
1:18:55
...who knew it. May I congratulate you?
1:18:59
I only brought you here
to show you my pigeons.
1:19:02
Don't worry about them.
1:19:03
Now you can put flutes on my tail
and bells on my feet.
1:19:07
I've so many questions I'd like to ask,
I don't know where to begin.
1:19:10
I'll help you. To begin with,
you'd like to know what I'm doing here.
1:19:14
-That I was born here.
-Thank you.
1:19:17
Well, I was almost born here.
1:19:18
lt took place in that wild country
beyond the pass.
1:19:21
My parents were in a party of explorers
who got lost and wandered for a year.
1:19:26
When Chang found us
only father and I were alive.
1:19:29
He was too weak to climb the pass.
He died on the way.
1:19:33
I was brought up by Father Perrault.
1:19:35
I envy you.
1:19:39
-I talked to him last night.
-I know.
1:19:43
I can't quite get used to this age thing.
1:19:49
I'm 30.
1:19:53
You're going to make life very simple.
1:19:59
It's inconceivable.
