Maybe one will come up.
:58:07
Too bad this is the only place
that takes credit cards.

:58:10
Real shame.
:58:11
Here, try some of my veal.
:58:15
Only if you try some of this salmon.
:58:18
I'm not a big fish guy, so you take it.
:58:20
I'm not gonna eat that, but you try the veal--
:58:23
-I'm not gonna--
-Try it.

:58:27
It's good? See, I told you.
:58:31
So, you were saying?
:58:32
Anyway, my father.... He grew up on a farm.
:58:36
He always thought it was a real shame
that we only saw the suburbs.

:58:40
He used to take us on great camping trips.
Want more wine?

:58:45
One night, I was sleeping in my pup tent
with my younger brother.

:58:48
I must have been, what, six or seven.
:58:51
I woke up in the middle of the night,
and I had to get outside.

:58:56
I don't know why.
I just really wanted to go outside.

:59:00
It was dark. I mean, totally dark.
:59:03
Not like in the city, or even in the suburbs.
:59:06
I'm talking absolute blackness.
:59:08
You couldn't see
two inches in front of your face.

:59:12
But there's one thing you could see.
:59:15
Millions of things, really.
:59:18
You could see the stars.
:59:21
There were more stars out that night
than I've ever seen since.

:59:25
Believe me, I've looked.
:59:28
I'm standing there,
looking up at the sky, and I'm thinking...

:59:31
that each one of these dots of light
is another world.

:59:34
I didn't know the difference
between the stars and the planets, then.

:59:38
But it made me feel really small.
:59:45
Lonely.
:59:48
Do you know what I mean?
:59:52
Then I thought,
maybe on each one of these other worlds...

:59:57
there's a kid like me.
Only, he's shaped like a sponge...
