1:07:01
Is better than nothing.
1:07:04
I have to die some day,
probably a long time before you.

1:07:08
- It doesn't bother me much.
- Who are you making room for?

1:07:13
It might be another William Shakespeare
or a George Washington.

1:07:17
Or even a lamebrain like you.
1:07:21
But I prefer to think
that no one ever really leaves.

1:07:24
When you're dead, you're dead.
1:07:26
Take another look at that fish.
1:07:29
I can see there is more than one
pig-headed member of this family.

1:07:33
Let me try to explain it to you.
Here, hold on.

1:07:40
See this pitcher?
1:07:42
Try to think of this pitcher as being me.
My body.

1:07:46
The pitcher has no use at all
except as a container for something.

1:07:50
In this case it contains water which
you can think of as my life force.

1:07:55
- Try to lose that.
- OK.

1:07:58
- Got it?
- Is easy.

1:08:04
There.
1:08:07
The only thing is it isn't lost.
1:08:10
Is part of the whole river.
Is still in the universe.

1:08:14
- You haven't lost it. Get rid of it.
- What about this?

1:08:18
Look out.
What about it?

1:08:22
I get the idea.
It will evaporate, become a cloud

1:08:26
and come down someplace else as rain.
1:08:28
- Thas pretty clever of you.
- I guess you can't lose anything.

1:08:33
You're right.
Probably not even life itself.

1:08:36
Is just that everything
is constantly changing.

1:08:39
Perhaps when our life force,
our souls, leave our bodies,

1:08:43
we go back into Goïs universe
1:08:45
in the security of being part
of all life again.

1:08:49
For all we know, that sort of life
after death may be beautiful.

1:08:53
If you say so.
1:08:57
Pop, don't do anything beautiful
for a while, will you?
