:00:17
I am Arthur Frayn, and I am Zardoz.
:00:22
I have lived 300 years and I long to die,
:00:27
but death is no longer possible
:00:30
I am immortal.
:00:32
I present now my story,
:00:34
full of mystery and intrigue,
:00:37
rich in irony and most satirical.
:00:42
It is set deep in a possible future,
so none of these events has been occurred
:00:47
But they may
:00:49
Be warned, lest you end as I
:00:55
In this tale I am
a fake god by occupation
:00:59
and a magician by inclination.
:01:02
Merlin is my hero
:01:06
I am the puppet master
:01:09
I manipulate many of the characters
:01:14
But I am invented too for your
entertainment and amusement
:01:20
And you, poor creatures,
:01:25
who conjured you out of the clay?
:01:31
Is God in show business too?
