:58:05
But if you did know,
would you tell me?

:58:11
Yeah.
:58:13
Yes, I would.
:58:15
Ben?
:58:18
Did Miss Wenteworth
ever talk about me?

:58:21
All the time, Simon.
:58:23
Everybody talks about you.
:58:25
That's how we keep
from gettin' bored.

:58:27
- Did she tell you about my destiny?
- Simon!

:58:30
What do you mean?
:58:32
- I'm going to be a hero.
- You are?

:58:34
Pretty vague job description,
isn't it?

:58:37
- How you gonna do that?
- I don't know.

:58:41
I keep waiting for God
to show me a sign.

:58:43
Like the burning bush
in the Ten Commandments.

:58:48
But I guess he doesn't go in
for that kind of thing anymore.

:58:51
Well, uh, you know,
you got to be a little patient.

:58:54
I have been patient,
but I'm running out of time.

:58:58
Simon, you're
12 years old!

:59:03
You've got all the time
in the world!

:59:07
I don't think so, Ben.
:59:19
Time is a monster
that cannot be reasoned with.

:59:24
It responds like
a snail to our impatience.

:59:27
Then it races like a gazelle
when you can't catch your breath.

:59:32
Simon and I were in such a hurry
to get to the answers at the end...

:59:35
of the road that we never took time
to read the signs along the way.

:59:39
How could we have known that everything
was working together for a reason?

:59:43
And so I expect
each and every one of you...

:59:45
will lend a hand
in making this...

:59:47
the best Christmas
pageant ever.

:59:53
So, now, are there
any volunteers for roles,

:59:56
- or shall I just choose?
- Well, I'll play Joseph!

:59:59
Good for you, Eddie.
