:22:02
So maybe we could chat a little bit...
:22:04
-...and l could get some background--
-l'm not going to talk to you much.
:22:08
lt's not personal.
:22:12
lt's the lndian way.
:22:25
Angraecum sesquipedale.
:22:28
Beauty! God!
:22:31
Darwin wrote about this one.
:22:33
Charles Darwin? Evolution guy?
Hello?
:22:37
You see that nectary
all the way down there?
:22:39
Darwin hypothesized a moth...
:22:42
...with a nose 1 2 inches long
to pollinate it.
:22:45
Everyone thought he was a loon.
:22:48
Then, sure enough, they found
this moth with a 1 2-inch proboscis.
:22:52
-'' Proboscis'' means nose, by the way.
-l know what '' proboscis'' means.
:22:55
Hey, let's not get off the subject.
This isn't a pissing contest.
:22:59
The point is,
what's so wonderful...
:23:02
...is that every one of these flowers
has a specific relationship...
:23:05
...with the insect that pollinates it.
:23:07
There's a certain orchid
looks exactly like a certain insect.
:23:10
So the insect is drawn to this flower...
:23:12
... its double, its soul mate...
:23:16
...and wants nothing more
than to mak e love to it.
:23:19
After the insect flies off...
:23:22
... it spots another soul-mate flower
and mak es love to it, thus pollinating it.
:23:26
And neither the flower nor the insect
will ever understand...
:23:30
... the significance
of their lovemaking.
:23:33
How could they know that because
of their little dance, the world lives?
:23:37
But it does.
:23:38
By simply doing
what they're designed to do...
:23:41
...something large
and magnificent happens.
:23:43
In this sense, they show us
how to live.
:23:46
How the only barometer
you have is your heart.
:23:50
How when you spot your flower,
you can't let anything get in your way.
