1:12:01
..or passed an old man with a leafbroom
tidying a moss-carpeted speck ofJapan.

1:12:08
We ordered the same catalogues...
1:12:11
..and, flipping through the pages,
we hiked through passes with the girls,...

1:12:15
..stopping every now and then
to help them with their backpacks,...

1:12:19
..placing our hands
on their warm, moist shoulders...

1:12:22
..and gazing offat papaya sunsets.
1:12:26
We drank tea with them
in a water pavilion.

1:12:30
We did whatever we wanted.
1:12:33
Cecilia hadn't died.
She was a bride in Calcutta.

1:12:40
The only way
we could feel close to the girls...

1:12:42
..was through these impossible trips
which have scarred us forever,...

1:12:47
..making us happier
with dreams than wives.

1:12:52
Collecting everything we could oftheirs,
the Lisbon girls wouldn't leave our minds.

1:12:57
But they were slipping away.
1:13:00
The colour oftheir eyes was fading, along
with the locations ofmoles and dimples.

1:13:05
From five they had become four,...
1:13:07
..and they were all living in the dead,
becoming shadows.

1:13:11
We'd have lost them completely
if they hadn't contacted us.

1:13:15
OK, one long,...
1:13:18
..two short...
1:13:20
- ..and one long.
- Mm-hm.

1:13:22
You got that? That's it.
1:13:27
"Help."
1:13:30
"Send...
1:13:33
..bo...
1:13:35
..bo."
1:13:38
- Bo-bo?
- Bo-bo.

1:13:39
That's what it says: bo-bo.
1:13:42
"Help send bo-bo"?
I thought you knew Morse code.
