- You just do.
:25:05
- How?
:25:08
- You go there.
:25:16
And you stick it in here.
:25:20
And you listen to it beat.
:25:24
Beat all night, all day.
:25:28
That way, you never forget.
:25:46
- Mount Ararat.
:25:49
When I was a boy,
:25:53
my mother used to tell me
this was ours.

:25:58
Even though it was so far away.
:26:01
And I used to dream
of a way to approach it,

:26:06
to make it belong to who I was,
to who I became.

:26:10
- Marty,
:26:14
this book is the key
to your character.

:26:17
It's the actual journal
of Clarence Ussher,

:26:21
published in Boston
and New York in 1917.

:26:23
Every scene in this film
:26:25
is based on this document.
:26:27
Think of it.
It is the true story

:26:29
of a man who sees
an entire community wiped out

:26:32
and is sickened by it.
:26:33
So... so you can't play it...
- l've read this book.

:26:39
As well as every available
piece of archival material

:26:43
that so much as hints
at the region or these people

:26:46
or the Armenian genocide.
:26:50
I'm currently rereading
the Bible with Ussher in mind,

:26:52
so beyond that,
it's pretty much...

:26:56
up to my imagination.
:26:58
And now l'm here
to make a film with Edward...
