: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...
1:00:00
or a pinball machine, or something.
Whatever, but he's up there.
1:00:03
Maybe he's on a camping trip,
and he's looking up at the stars.
1:00:08
I decided I want to meet this guy.
1:00:16
-A rose for the lady?
-Would the lady care for a rose?
1:00:20
Would the lady care to advance
the gentleman the cost of a rose?
1:00:24
Put it on the bill. That'd be great.
1:00:29
For you.
1:00:31
-Thank you.
-lt was nothing.
