You remember the myth of Sisyphus?
1:14:07
Since we sent your encephalogram,
1:14:11
not a single one ofthe visitors
has returned.
1:14:14
Something beyond our understanding
is happening to the ocean.
1:14:18
lslands have begun
to form on the surface.
1:14:21
First there was one,
then others began to appear.
1:14:25
Are you telling me that
we were understood?
1:14:28
Just like that? ln one stroke?
1:14:31
At least we can hope now.
1:14:43
- How old are you?
- Fifty two.
1:14:47
Have you been here long?
1:14:50
You must have read my background
papers.
1:14:55
After so many years
on the station,
1:15:01
do you still feel as clearly your
link with the life down below?
1:15:06
l suppose next you'll want to know
what life's all about, eh?
1:15:12
Please, let's not be ironical.
1:15:15
When a man is happy,
the meaning of life
1:15:22
and other themes of eternity
rarely interest him.
1:15:27
These questions should be asked
at the end of one's life.
1:15:34
We don't know when our life will end,
that's why we're in a hurry.
1:15:40
The happiest people are those
1:15:44
who never bother asking
those cursed questions.
1:15:48
We question life
to seek out some meaning.
1:15:51
Yet to preserve all the simple
human truths we need mysteries.
1:15:55
The mystery of happiness, death,
love.
1:15:59
You may be right.
But try not to think about it.
