:03:01
You should come, otherwise
we're all gonna freeze out here.

:03:03
Come on!!
:03:07
- Hi. I'm Nick.
- Hi, Nick. I'm Tom.

:03:10
- Nice to meet you.
- I'm Jane. This is Audrey.

:03:12
- Hi,Jane.
- ( Nick ) You are going to Sally's, aren't you?

:03:15
Of course there's a God.
We all basically know there is.

:03:18
- ( Woman ) I know no such thing.
- Of course you do.

:03:20
When you think to yourself-And most of our
waking life is taken up thinking to ourself-

:03:24
you must have that feeling
that your thoughts aren't entirely wasted...

:03:27
that, in some sense,
they are being heard.

:03:29
Hey, I think it's this sensation
of silently being listened to...

:03:32
with total comprehension...
:03:34
- Hi, Sally.
- You got here so fast.

:03:37
- Hello!
- that represents our innate belief
in a supreme being.

:03:40
- Nice to meet you.
- We stole his cab.

:03:42
- What's his name again?
- Tom Townsend.

:03:45
No, I think it was something else.
:03:47
No, it's Tom Townsend, I'm sure.
:03:50
He looks familiar.
:03:52
He's the guy that was sitting at the table
behind ours without talking to anyone all evening.

:03:56
Then, outside, he got the cab
that we were trying to flag down.

:03:59
But he insisted that we take it,
so Nick insisted that he come along too...

:04:02
so that there should be no ill feeling.
:04:04
What it shows is that a kind of belief
is innate in all of us.

:04:07
At some point
most of us lose that...

:04:09
after which it can only be regained
by a conscious act of faith.

:04:12
You've experienced that?
:04:14
Uh, no, I haven't.
:04:16
I-I hope to someday.
:04:18
Actually, it wasn't my cab. I was just there
waiting for the light to change when it pulled up.

:04:22
- I never take cabs.
- You never take cabs?

:04:24
No, I either walk
or take public transportation.

:04:27
- Why?
- A lot of reasons.

:04:29
So you're one of those
public transportation snobs.

:04:32
- You look down on people who take taxis.
- No, not at all.

:04:36
That's how New York's seen,
at least in the popular imagination.

:04:40
I don't think that there is
a popular imagination.

:04:43
- What do you mean?
-Just that.

:04:45
I don't think that there is
a popular imagination.

:04:48
- Pomfret. Where did you go?
- Farmington.

:04:50
Both of us did.
:04:52
Did you know Serena Slocum there?
:04:54
- ( Chuckles ) The inevitable question.
- What?

:04:56
All the guys ask that. Serena had
an incredible number of boyfriends. At least 20.
