:48:03
Oh, there is so much
to ask about your world.
:48:07
You are a scholar, are you not?
:48:10
Judging from your
diminished physique...
:48:11
and large forehead...
:48:12
you are suited for nothing else.
:48:14
What is your
country of origin?
:48:16
When did the flood
waters recede?
:48:17
-How did you--
-Wait a minute.
:48:18
I got a few questions
for you, too.
:48:19
So let's do this, OK?
:48:21
You ask one,
then I'll ask one...
:48:22
then you, then me, then...
:48:23
Well, you get it.
:48:24
Very well.
What is your first question?
:48:28
Well, OK, uh,
how did you get here?
:48:30
Well, I mean,
not you personally...
:48:31
but your--your culture.
:48:33
I mean, how did all of this
end up down here?
:48:35
It is said that the gods became
jealous of Atlantis.
:48:38
They sent a great cataclysm
and banished us here.
:48:41
All I can remember
is the sky going dark...
:48:44
and people shouting
and running.
:48:48
Then, a bright light,
like a star...
:48:51
floating above the city.
:48:53
My father said it called
my mother to it.
:48:57
I never saw her again.
:48:58
I'm sorry. If it--
if it's any consolation...
:49:01
I-l know how you feel,
because I lost my--
:49:03
Wait a minute. Wait a minute!
Whoa, back up!
:49:06
Wh--what--what are
you telling me...
:49:07
that you remember
because you were there?
:49:09
No, that--that's impossible...
:49:11
because, I mean,
that would make you...
:49:12
you know,
8,500-8,800 years old.
:49:16
Yes.
:49:18
Oh, well, hey, uh, pfft!
Lookin' good.
:49:22
Just, uh, ahem...
:49:24
You got another question for me?
:49:26
Yes. How is it you found
your way to this place?
:49:29
Well, I'll tell you,
it wasn't easy.
:49:31
Ifit weren't for this book,
we never would have made it.
:49:33
OK, second question.
:49:35
Legend has it
that your people possessed...
:49:37
a power source of some kind
that enabled them--
:49:38
You mean you can
understand this?
:49:40
Yes, I'm a linguist.
:49:42
That's what I do,
that's myjob.
:49:43
Now, getting back
to my question--
:49:44
This, right here,
you can read this?
:49:47
Yes, yes, I can read Atlantean,
just like you.
:49:51
You can't, can you?
:49:53
No one can.
:49:55
Such knowledge
has been lost to us...
:49:56
since the time
of the Mehbelmok.
:49:58
Oh, the Great Flood.
:49:59
Show me.
