between the Atlanteans
and anyone else.

:15:03
The main question is, where was it?
:15:06
The Mediterranean
is the most likely spot.

:15:08
They're always digging up pottery
:15:11
that doesn't belong to
any known civilization.

:15:13
How could a complete people
just disappear?

:15:16
Well, a cataclysm. They were all
wiped out in a cataclysm.

:15:20
Whole island sank in an earthquake.
:15:22
So you're a genuine believer
in Atlantis?

:15:25
Well, I lived there
in a former incarnation.

:15:30
I ask because the cataclysm can be
seen as an image of moral collapse

:15:33
and some think we're going through
a similar period of decay.

:15:37
Do you explore that in your painting?
:15:39
I think people have always
been decaying, whenever they can.

:15:44
He's just a very depraved man,
I'm afraid, Mr Campion.

:15:48
No one's safe.
:15:53
I'm bloody bored!
:15:57
Have you seen those fairies lately?
:15:59
A couple of them were out
last Friday.

:16:02
- They were not!
- They were too.

:16:04
They always come out
on Fridays round midnight.

:16:07
They do not. Do they, Mummy?
:16:08
Yes, you don't see them
cos you're asleep.

:16:11
Tonight's Friday,
as a matter of fact.

:16:14
But then you'd be
too bloody bored to see them.

:16:17
No, I'm not, Mummy.
I promise I won't be bored.

:16:20
- Even bloody bored?
- Promise!

:16:24
Well, if you're gonna be up
at midnight, get to bed now.

:16:30
- Say good night to everybody.
- Good night, everybody.

:16:34
- Do they really come, Mummy?
- Fairies only live in books.

:16:39
The Industrial Revolution
killed the fairies.

:16:41
They were left with nowhere to live.
:16:44
- Except our imaginations.
- lmaginations are a luxury.

:16:49
- Beg your pardon?
- Most people can't afford them.

:16:52
I don't think imagination
is dependent on economics, is it?

:16:55
In a factory you're doing exactly
the same thing day after day.

:16:59
An active imagination is what allows
people to do that kind of work.
