"To Chris."
:51:33
- Who's Chris?
- Mmm, Chris.

"I see a sweetness in her smile.
:51:40
Bright light shines from her eyes.
:51:45
But life is complete,
contentment is mine...

:51:48
just knowing that..."
:51:52
"Just knowing that...
:51:55
she's alive."
:51:57
- Sorry, Captain. It's stupid.
- No, no, it's not stupid.

It's a good effort. It touched on one
of the major themes: love.

:52:04
A major theme not only in poetry,
but life.

:52:07
Mr Hopkins, you were laughing.
:52:09
You're up.
:52:20
"The cat sat on the mat."
:52:29
Congratulations, Mr Hopkins.
Yours is the first poem...

:52:31
to ever have a negative score
on the Pritchard scale.

:52:35
We're not laughing at you,
we're laughing near you.

:52:38
I don't mind that your poem
had a simple theme. Sometimes
the most beautiful poetry...

:52:41
can be about simple things,
like a cat, or a flower or rain.

:52:45
You see, poetry can come from anything
with the stuff of revelation in it.

:52:48
Just don't let your poems
be ordinary.

:52:52
Now, who's next?
:52:56
Mr Anderson,
so you're sitting there in agony.

:52:59
Come on, Todd, step up.
Let's put you out of your misery.
