"Don't stand behind...
:40:02
...this coffin. "
:40:06
That boy was as pure
and as innocent...
:40:10
...as the driven snow.
:40:13
But I must stand here because...
:40:15
...I have not given you
what you should have.
:40:19
Until we can walk abroad
and recreate ourselves...
:40:23
...until we can stroll along the
streets like boulevards...
:40:27
...congregate in parks,
free from fear...
:40:30
...our families mingling...
:40:32
...our children laughing,
our hearts joined...
:40:34
Until that day,
we have no city.
:40:37
You can label me a failure
until that day.
:40:42
The first, and perhaps only great
mayor, was Greek.
:40:47
He was Pericles of Athens...
:40:48
...and he lived
some 2500 years ago...
:40:51

...to James Bone...
:41:14
...and there's only silence.
:41:18
Yet...
:41:19
...could not something...
:41:21
...pass from this sweet youth to me?
:41:24
Could he not empower me...
:41:26
...to find in myself the strength...
:41:31
...to have the knowledge...
:41:33
...to summon up the courage...
:41:36
...to accomplish this seemingly
insurmountable task...
:41:40
...of making a city livable?
:41:42
Just livable?
:41:45
There was a palace...
:41:47
...that was a city.
:41:48
It was a palace!
:41:50
It was a palace, and
it can be a palace again!
:41:55
A palace in which there is
no king or queen...
:41:59
...or dukes or earls or princes,
but subjects all. Subjects...
