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

1:16:25
And what next?
To return to earth?
1:16:30
Little by little, everything
will come to normal.
1:16:31
l'll find new interests,
new acquaintances.
1:16:36
But l won't be able to devote
all of myselfto them.
1:16:43
And do l have the right to turn down
1:16:46
even an imaginary possibility
of contact with the ocean,
1:16:51
