Saturday...
1:13:02
...November 19, 1953.
1:13:07
Today, I have decided to kill myself.
1:13:11
In being the greatest showman
of my time...

1:13:15
...I'm recording live
for the Swan Archives.

1:13:19
Why?
1:13:23
Simple.
1:13:26
I'm getting old.
1:13:31
I can't bear...
1:13:33
...to see this beautiful face
ravaged by the forces of time.

1:13:43
If I can't be young forever...
1:13:46
...I'd rather end it all. Now.
1:13:54
-Why not?
-What?

1:13:57
Stay young forever.
1:14:00
I'm real. And I'll leave
if you want. But you did call me.

1:14:07
I didn't call anybody.
1:14:09
You said you wanted
to be young forever.

1:14:13
Well, here I am.
1:14:17
But I am stoned.
1:14:20
You're not real.
1:14:22
Then it really doesn't matter
what happens, does it?

1:14:27
-What is going to happen?
-For openers, you'll look like me.

1:14:32
Forever.
1:14:36
This is too much. I guess
you're supposed to be the devil?

1:14:41
-I go by many names.
-And you will make me young forever?

1:14:45
This image will age in your place.
1:14:50
This picture gets old instead of me?
1:14:53
Yes. And you must watch it every day,
just to see how lucky you are.

1:14:58
-I'm crazy about pictures of myself.
-The tape from which it comes...
