No.
1:08:04
Those little things
that fly around at night...

1:08:07
in the summer,
when the weather's hot.

1:08:09
Tiny pinpricks of light,
going on and off,

1:08:12
darting through the air,
1:08:14
now in one place,
now in another.

1:08:17
Very beautiful, no?
1:08:19
What is this, "Welcome to
the World of Insects"?

1:08:21
No.
1:08:24
It's called, going back
or delving into the past.

1:08:33
Remember Echo Lake?
1:08:36
How many summers did you
and your family go there?

1:08:40
- How do you know about that?
- I know about a lot of things.

1:08:44
Do you remember the fireflies now?
1:08:50
Yes...
1:08:52
Vaguely.
1:08:55
Yes, I remember them.
1:08:58
You and your big brother would go out
in the backyard at night, wouldn't you?

1:09:02
Carrying jars with little
holes punched in the top.

1:09:07
What was his name again?
1:09:13
- Franz.
- Franz, right, that's it.

1:09:18
Franz and Isaac.
1:09:22
How many years apart were you?
1:09:26
- Three...
- Right. Three.

1:09:29
Three years apart.
So you and your big brother, Franz,

1:09:32
who was three years older
than you would go out at night

1:09:35
to catch fireflies in the backyard.
1:09:38
Your father punched the holes
in the tops of the jars, didn't he?

1:09:42
With a hammer and
an eighth-inch nail.

1:09:45
Tap, tap, tap.
1:09:49
He was a doctor,
your father, wasn't he?

1:09:53
Not a pretend doctor like me,
with my Ph.D. in anthropology

1:09:56
but an honest-to-goodness medical
doctor who actually cures the sick,
