:38:00
You have your own stuff, right? I mean,
we both have our own separate stuff.

:38:04
Anyway, I should go. I was just
heading home to do some work.

:38:07
- You coming?
- No, I'm gonna stay at Caroline's tonight.

:38:10
A little push, push in the bush.
:38:13
Donald, you're such a tard!
:38:17
See you, Charlie.
:38:23
To write about a flower,
to dramatize a flower...

:38:26
...I have to show the flower's arc.
:38:28
And the flower's arc stretches back
to the beginning of life.

:38:31
How did this flower get here?
What was its journey?

:38:34
Therefore, I should infer
from analogy...

:38:39
...that probably all the organic beings
which have ever lived on this Earth...

:38:43
...have descended
from some one primordial form...

:38:49
...into which life was first breathed.
:38:52
It is a journey of evolution.
Adaptation.

:38:54
The journey we all take. A journey
that unites each and every one of us.

:38:59
Darwin writes that we all come
from the very first single-cell organism.

:39:02
Yet here I am.
:39:04
And there's Laroche.
There's Orlean.

:39:06
And there's the ghost orchid.
All trapped in our own bodies...

:39:10
...in moments in history.
That's it.

:39:13
That's what I need to do.
Tie all of history together.

:39:19
Start right before
life begins on the planet.

:39:22
All is...
:39:23
...lifeless.
And then, like, life begins...

:39:26
...with organisms.
Those little single-cell ones.

:39:28
And it's before sex, because,
like, everything was asexual.

:39:31
From there we go to bigger things.
Jellyfish.

:39:34
Then that fish that got legs
and crawled out on the land.

:39:36
And then we see,
you know, like, dinosaurs.

:39:40
And then they're around for a long time.
Then an asteroid comes and:

:39:44
- The insects, the mammals,
the primates, monkeys.

:39:48
The simple monkeys. Old-fashioned
monkeys giving way to the new ones.

:39:51
Whatever. And then apes.
Whatever. And man.

:39:54
Then we see the whole history of
human civilization: Hunting, war, love...

:39:58
...heartache, disease,
loneliness, technology.
