My little friend, dream no more.
It's really here.

1:17:44
It's called Efferdent Plus.
1:17:47
In hell, you sink to the level
of your lack of love.

1:17:50
In heaven, you rise to the level
of your fullness of love.

1:17:52
Hurry up! Come on!
Get in the car! Let's go.

1:17:57
Allegedly,
the story goes like this.

1:17:59
Billy Wilder
runs into Louis Malle.

1:18:02
This was in the late '50s,
early '60s.

1:18:04
And Louis Malle had just made
his most expensive film, which
had cost 2 1/2 million dollars.

1:18:09
And Billy Wilder asks him
what the film is about.

1:18:12
And Louis Malle says,
"It's sort of a dream within a dream."

1:18:15
And Billy Wilder says,
"You just lost 2 1 /2 million dollars."

1:18:19
I feel a little more apprehensive
about this one than I did--

1:18:29
Down through the centuries, the notion
that life is wrapped in a dream...

1:18:32
has been a pervasive theme
of philosophers and poets.

1:18:37
So doesn't it make sense that death,
too, would be wrapped in dream?

1:18:41
That, after death,
your conscious life would continue...

1:18:45
in what might be called,
"a dream body"?

1:18:47
It would be the same dream body you
experience in your everyday dream life.

1:18:52
Except that
in the post-mortal state,

1:18:55
you could never
again wake up,

1:18:58
never again return
to your physical body.
