:26:01
...tearing their undersides open...
:26:04
...and rending and eating their flesh.
:26:10
Sebastian guessed that possibly...
:26:13
...only a hundredth
of one percent of their number...
:26:17
...would escape to the sea.
:26:21
Nature isn't created
in the image of man's compassion.
:26:24
Nature is cruel!
:26:26
Sebastian knew it all along,
was born knowing it, but not I.
:26:30
I said, " No, no, those are
only birds, turtles, not us."
:26:35
I didn't know then it was us.
:26:37
That we are all of us trapped
by this devouring creation.
:26:42
I couldn't, wouldn't face
the horror of the truth...
:26:46
...even that last day
in the Encantadas...
:26:48
...when Sebastian left me...
:26:50
...and spent the whole
blazing, equatorial day...
:26:54
...in the crow's-nest,
watching that thing on the beach...
:26:57
...until it was too dark to see.
:27:00
When he came down the rigging,
he said, "Now I've seen him."
:27:04
- And he meant God.
- Do you believe he saw God?
:27:08
He saw the whole thing there
that day on the beach.
:27:11
But I was like you. I said no.
:27:14
I refused to believe...
:27:16
...until suddenly, last summer,
I learned my son was right.
:27:21
What he had shown me
in the Encantadas was the horrible...
:27:25
...the inescapable truth.
:27:42
Violet, honey.
:27:43
- You gave me a turn.
- Hi, Aunt Vi.
:27:46
Why are you two here?
:27:48
We came for Sebastian's
clothes, like you said.
:27:51
- Remember? Like you said.
- So we just kind of let ourselves in.
:27:55
- I must have got hold of this letter.
- Caught on your sleeve probably.
