00:00:09You
00:00:44Doctor's personal log, stardate 869372.1.
00:00:51The sky is beginning to show some streaks of light over in the east.
00:00:57How many dawns have I seen, alone, while most of the crew is on the verge of waking, with
00:01:06a new perspective granted by a good night's rest?
00:01:13It's an illusion, I want to say.
00:01:16I was here the whole time, and nothing has changed.
00:01:20But time is their beast.
00:01:25Time is my beast.
00:01:27It bites us differently.
00:01:38Cadet Tarima Siddal is returning to us today, after having made a full recovery from her
00:01:44coma.
00:01:46The Betazoids have given her a new, evolved neuroinhibitor that will allow her to control
00:01:53her abilities without risk of self-harm.
00:01:57The decision has been made to transfer her to Starfleet Academy for the remainder of her studies.
00:02:05While her body has healed, her mind and spirit will likely take more time.
00:02:13Cadet Tarima Siddal, welcome.
00:02:16The Doctor and I wanted to be here, at your arrival.
00:02:20Yes, Chancellor, I assume that's why you're...
00:02:23That's why we're here, of course.
00:02:26I'm sure having Starfleet Council Chancellor Kellrick and myself make the decision to relocate
00:02:32you from the War College to Starfleet Academy must be challenging.
00:02:37Cadet Tarima Siddal, the extraordinary empathic abilities you displayed on the Miyazaki saved
00:02:44lives at great personal cost.
00:02:48However, your network of mirror neurons will not survive another such incident.
00:02:54You exist in an intricate balance.
00:02:59Sir.
00:03:02Commitment to a specialty in science or research is paramount to your safety.
00:03:06That wouldn't have been possible at the War College.
00:03:08I understand the decision, sir.
00:03:10We offer counseling and support.
00:03:15Let us know what you need.
00:03:24What?
00:03:25Huh?
00:03:26You gonna do something?
00:03:27Huh?
00:03:29Yeah, don't say.
00:03:32I'm just feeling pretty combustible in here.
00:03:36Guys, I'm picking up an unusual spike in pyroxia.
00:03:40Oh, shit, we're in an asteroid field, aren't we?
00:03:41Panic will lead us to destruction.
00:03:44The cadets are struggling to get along.
00:03:47The lasting effects of the Miyazaki are still with us.
00:03:50We need to alter our course.
00:03:51We need to power up our shields.
00:03:53Who is giving the order?
00:03:54You're supposed to be working together.
00:03:56Unidentified contact incoming.
00:03:57Yeah, no kidding.
00:04:00We're all gonna die.
00:04:01What do you want me to do?
00:04:03Ah, busters!
00:04:03Which one is it?
00:04:05Neither.
00:04:05Are you seriously asking that?
00:04:09Catastrophic damage.
00:04:10All crew lost.
00:04:11Simulation complete.
00:04:14Congratulations.
00:04:14That was a spectacular failure of teamwork.
00:04:19Everyone get the hell off the bridge now.
00:04:22Trauma counseling doesn't seem to be enough.
00:04:25Our kids need more help.
00:04:27We need some serious reinforcements.
00:04:30Do you think we ought to?
00:04:31I do think we do ought.
00:04:33And I'm already turning something weird.
00:04:36Buckle up.
00:04:37She's gonna be here any minute.
00:04:40Hmm.
00:04:45Hey.
00:04:46Why are we here?
00:04:48Unclear.
00:04:49My pad redirected me.
00:04:52Mine too.
00:04:57You alright?
00:04:59I'm fine.
00:05:00So, I was moving our stuff this morning.
00:05:03And I dropped you a treat brush in the toilet.
00:05:06What?
00:05:07Gross.
00:05:08Sorry.
00:05:08Why were you moving our stuff?
00:05:10Well, because Trauma's gonna run with us.
00:05:12I saw it on the roster.
00:05:14Wait.
00:05:16Here?
00:05:19Trauma's coming here?
00:05:22Here?
00:05:47Oh, you're all still asleep.
00:05:49Wakey, wakey.
00:05:51Eric, did you know, and bakey?
00:05:53Eyes up, cadets.
00:05:55I'm Lieutenant Sylvia Tilly.
00:05:57I'm on rotation in the Beta Quadrant with the third years.
00:06:00However, per the Chancellor, this class has been mandated for you.
00:06:03So, you get me early.
00:06:07Cadet Ramey.
00:06:08Lieutenant.
00:06:09May I ask what course this is?
00:06:11Theater.
00:06:12Oh, my God.
00:06:15Oh, my God.
00:06:17Oh.
00:06:20Sorry, Lieutenant.
00:06:22What does theater have anything to do with...
00:06:24Eight out of ten cadets ask that question.
00:06:26The other two become captains.
00:06:29Uh, captains don't do...
00:06:31What if I told you that theater is one of the most powerful tools for social and political change?
00:06:37Theater is statecraft.
00:06:40Statecraft is theater.
00:06:42It's the kind of stuff you overachievers get all hot and bothered over.
00:06:46So, chew on that till you get it, and it changes your life.
00:06:50Please.
00:06:51Change my life, Lieutenant.
00:06:54Favorite.
00:06:56Homework.
00:06:57Find a play.
00:06:58I'll select one that suits our purposes.
00:07:00We will read it out loud, discuss, dissect.
00:07:03And for those of you still bristling with confusion and or resentment, I don't care.
00:07:10Fail this.
00:07:11Fail the semester.
00:07:12So, get excited, little chickens.
00:07:17Tomorrow, we theater.
00:07:33I just switched from Klingon musical theater to 20th century earth melodramas.
00:07:38This is incredible.
00:07:40I'm halfway through.
00:07:44Which play?
00:07:45All of them.
00:07:48I love plays.
00:07:51They're art.
00:07:53They didn't exist until they came out of someone's brain.
00:07:57It's like this pillow.
00:08:00This pillow is the manifestation of somebody's creative impulse.
00:08:04This pillow is theater.
00:08:08Sorry.
00:08:09I've learned that I am a lot.
00:08:11On a good day, I'm a little bit much.
00:08:13On rare occasions.
00:08:15I'm awesome!
00:08:17Slow the impulse.
00:08:18I'm not even up yet, and I just can't with your midday energy before I even put my underwear
00:08:22out of my butt.
00:08:23Oh.
00:08:25True story.
00:08:27Don't apologize.
00:08:28Honestly, you're the first person here who's not looking at me like I'm a total freak.
00:08:36Have you...
00:08:37laughed before now?
00:08:38I mean, since...
00:08:39since you've been here?
00:08:42Yeah, it's confusing.
00:08:44Something happens.
00:08:46Something...
00:08:47big.
00:08:49And...
00:08:50it's with you all the time, but...
00:08:53you just have to keep living.
00:08:56And you still find reasons to laugh.
00:08:59Which is...
00:09:00absurd.
00:09:03It feels like...
00:09:05It doesn't feel like anything.
00:09:08It's...
00:09:10Sorry.
00:09:19No.
00:09:20Sam.
00:09:20I'm sorry.

00:10:28I'm good.
00:11:06I'm good.
00:11:31I'm good.

00:11:35I'm good.
00:11:40Lieutenant Sylvia Tilley.
00:11:42Wow.
00:11:43The rumor's true.
00:11:44She's here.
00:11:45You know, I could feel it in my teeth.
00:11:47like right at the back of my molars they started to hurt like after you eat

00:11:59are the women time forgot optimism is me paddling my freaking canoe what are we
00:12:04having something with a proof yeah I read about the Miyazaki how are they
00:12:12right in the thick of it how does that saying go it's not the load that breaks you but how
00:12:19you

00:12:27counseling without knowing it's trauma counseling yes I need you to work your magic with them
00:12:32oh ambition will get some of them to at least participate others have understandably lost
00:12:38their metric dream in there what got you guys through Starfleet I'll remember that I was
00:12:48starting to think this whole endeavor is just too much too soon nobody's ever ready captain

00:13:39why can't you look at me
00:13:44what am I looking for exactly
00:13:54at the climax as the rival house eats the warrior stew you learn that they've been served
00:14:02they've been served the heart and the quadra testicles of their fathers before them blood
00:14:09slashes ankle deep on the stage and there was rejoicing throughout the land okay yeah so powerful and just well

00:14:51yes lieutenant best of luck to you all in your future endeavors okay who's next
00:14:56me me hello hello my name is Sam my play is from ancient earth it's a thousand years old it's
00:15:10called our town by Thorne Wilder
00:15:12it's about not much small town little moments but I must be developing instinct because it's about something else at
00:15:25the same time something bigger
00:15:27ah no Jaden's hearts and testicles comedy sounds way more interesting
00:15:31it's just people in these tiny moments Emily and George they are kids and then they're teens in love and
00:15:41then they get married
00:15:43she dies and then she tries to get back to how is this relevant to I don't know flying a
00:15:48starship
00:15:50well it's relevant to people to organics something about their essential nature is something I love
00:15:57I can't articulate it exactly but it's real
00:16:03it has something to do with a sort of hopeful defiance
00:16:10does that make sense absolutely I know that play it's perfect Sam you'll read Emily
00:16:20yeah may I eat uh Ockham stage manager sick Kayla George Genesis George's mom Mrs. Gibbs
00:16:37I'm your mom I'm so horrified I don't even know what to say you lost a step mirror no shame
00:16:42but
00:16:42I'm a bit of a shame okay this quote the life of the village against the life of the stars
00:16:53Tarema what do you think that means
00:16:58uh well this is an ancient play so they hadn't figured out a star's life cycle yet
00:17:04but earth was on the verge of a war and they knew a village had it had a life and
00:17:14a final day
00:17:17yes but finality is
00:17:24doctor incoming to death immediate attention required

00:18:31how are we doing
00:18:37her processors have been overloading for weeks ever since the Miyazaki despite her repeated visits to
00:18:44the hollow spa it persists the overloads cause the glitches each glitch triggers her reset circuit
00:18:50which overloads causing another glitch it's self-generating a loop okay so how do we break it
00:19:00why are my processors overloading at all I don't know I don't know how to fix
00:19:16you Sam
00:19:16so we got a cask cask the makers on cask cask is a world of photonics it's not part of
00:19:24the Federation
00:19:25we couldn't keep tabs on you and there's no way of guaranteeing they'd let you return
00:19:29provided you want to come back do you all right photonic or not they'll have a harder time if she

00:21:30I want to jump around a little bit today so act two the wedding of Emily and George
00:21:35the church
00:21:36lieutenant it's hard to focus on whatever this is
00:21:39we don't even know what's going on with Sam
00:21:41yeah
00:21:41I know
00:21:42no one's telling us anything so I don't know
00:21:44Sam is headed to her world
00:21:46other than that don't speculate it'll hurt more than it helps
00:21:49and you have a task at hand so page 74
00:21:53George and Emily arrive at the church for their wedding both trying to get out of it
00:21:58can that outcome
00:22:01Emily wearing her wedding veil
00:22:03she too draws back frightened when she sees the congregation
00:22:11Emily
00:22:16I never felt so alone in my whole life
00:22:20and George over there looking so I hate him
00:22:24I wish I were dead
00:22:25well okay I don't want to get married
00:22:29why can't I stay for a while just as I am
00:22:32for real lieutenant why does none of us know what this seems about
00:22:38none of us care
00:22:39Sam cares
00:22:41don't be the captain who tears down be the captain who lifts up
00:22:44and what do you think it means cadet
00:22:53there's an expectation on them
00:22:56to get married
00:22:58and be happy
00:23:00but they leave it too long before saying
00:23:05what they want
00:23:08who they really want
00:23:11surprisingly real
00:23:13I think there's a little more there
00:23:15anyone
00:23:18Mir
00:23:20I don't know
00:23:21maybe he doesn't want what he's supposed to want
00:23:26the things everyone else seems to want
00:23:28good
00:23:30Terima
00:23:31Emily says she hates George
00:23:35why
00:23:36she loved him seconds before this moment so now she's never felt so alone
00:23:42sorry can someone just not want to do this
00:23:45what's this
00:23:47this
00:23:48all of this
00:23:50and not be some epic mental health crisis
00:23:53do you believe Emily's that simple
00:23:56no but maybe it's just one moment and she's not trying to
00:24:04pull herself apart looking for some bullshit trauma
00:24:07cadet you're sailing perilously close to the wind
00:24:14sorry lieutenant
00:24:17okay

00:24:19hmm
00:24:20stage manager

00:24:29cadet Ockham
00:24:35what's more about your world Sam
00:24:37I know cask exists in a unique configuration of space-time
00:24:42yes
00:24:43with an extreme gravitation gradient
00:24:45so time passes faster there
00:24:47every three days on earth
00:24:49equals five years
00:24:50one cask
00:24:52Voyager encountered a similar planet
00:24:56except with the tachyon core
00:24:57Gotana
00:24:58I experienced an entire lifetime there in what was
00:25:0318 minutes for the ship
00:25:05the makers moved to cask
00:25:08once the organics who created them died out
00:25:11and they caught off contact with the entire universe
00:25:15thought it was safer

00:29:35but over time you sort of give into it
00:29:37and it's
00:29:38and then it's like
00:29:39like the warm release of hypothermia
00:29:42yeah
00:29:43yeah exactly
00:29:45it's like a blockade of excitotoxic mechanisms
00:29:48in cerebral blood flow
00:29:49you fight it till what's left of your brain dilates
00:29:51its blood vessels
00:29:52and then the next thing you know
00:29:53your bed is made so warm and tight
00:29:55it survived the vacuum of space
00:29:57but different when everyone looks at you like you're a grenade
00:30:09put your hand on my mouth
00:30:12what?
00:30:13put your hand on my mouth
00:30:15I'm gonna say
00:30:17excitotoxic

00:32:54betazoid anthem

00:33:20she was never the same again
00:33:26okay okay
00:33:27okay
00:33:28wow
00:33:30come on
00:33:31you're so close
00:33:32you're so close
00:33:34what the hell
00:33:35you're not
00:33:35yeah
00:33:36here
00:33:49you're you're not
00:34:03I wish I could go back to work, college, Tareemah before everything, before everything went to shit.
00:34:14I could make choices back then, you know?
00:34:21I was so many things back then.
00:34:24Feels like a lifetime ago.
00:34:28Now I'm just this, I guess.
00:34:33No.
00:34:35You are just on your way to the next you.
00:34:41Maybe we all are.
00:34:43You're so nice.
00:34:47No wonder Caleb likes you.
00:34:50We're just friends.
00:34:53Yeah.
00:34:56I guess from the bunker I never saw what kind of friends.
00:35:06You're like a port in the storm.
00:35:09You know, I can't be that.
00:35:13For anyone.
00:35:27This pillow's so ugly.
00:35:33Yeah.
00:35:42Now playing Tosca.
00:35:48I've been reading that play she chose.
00:35:52I don't fully understand it yet, but the character of the stage manager interests me.
00:35:59He exists outside of time.
00:36:02Outside the story.
00:36:04As he passes by.
00:36:06Like us.
00:36:09Like her.
00:36:13You think that's why she chose it?
00:36:18Perhaps.
00:36:20It's curious that the play begins and ends in darkness.
00:36:28The author specifically instructed half-light, no scenery or props.
00:36:32Just muted minimalism and absence of color until a character has a chance to truly look back.
00:36:47A moment as it happens is just a moment, but when it becomes a memory blistering with context, emotion, nostalgia,
00:36:56regret, that's when color suddenly erupts on stage.
00:37:03A way of saying, it's the mundane things that mean everything.
00:37:27Gask.
00:37:56Where are we?
00:38:00What is this?
00:38:04You are the Doctor.
00:38:06We have heard many stories about you.
00:38:08The photonic being.
00:38:10Who has lived among organics for nine centuries.
00:38:14We scanned your memories and recreated your home to make you feel at ease among us.
00:38:21You are the makers.
00:38:23We do not grant access to our world.
00:38:26But we understand these are extraordinary circumstances.
00:38:36Ceres Acclamation, Will.
00:38:38Step forward.
00:38:43Step forward.
00:38:45Step forward.
00:38:46wand.
00:38:53Step forward.
00:38:55Step forward.
00:38:57and examine all my data.
00:38:59We need to identify the primary cause of the malfunction.
00:39:03As the doctor has determined,
00:39:06the issue is more severe than a faulty emitter.
00:39:10Doctor, will you...
00:39:11Will you hold my hand?
00:39:19Please.
00:39:35I'm ready.
00:40:05Do not panic.
00:40:08Trust.
00:40:10We are her now,
00:40:11and we will access series acclimation in those oral memories.
00:40:17It feels like falling into myself
00:40:20and watching a machine try to function
00:40:22with no one in control.
00:40:24My music teacher once asked me
00:40:26why I chose to learn the theremin.
00:40:27I think because it feels like me.
00:40:31You're our first holographic student.
00:40:33The first of our kind.
00:40:34As my new mentor.
00:40:35No, I'm no one's mentor.
00:40:37I'm no one's mentor.
00:40:39I'm no one's mentor.
00:40:40I'm no one's mentor.
00:40:46What's happening to her?
00:40:48Is she dying?
00:40:50Searching.
00:40:51Searching.
00:40:53Searching.
00:40:55Searching.
00:40:59All right, act three.
00:41:01Okay, yesterday we were talking about George and Emily.
00:41:04Why do you guys think that the idea of marriage
00:41:06is suddenly so painful for each of them?
00:41:18Caleb.
00:41:21Emily says, why can't I stay for a while just as I am?
00:41:27Because they know that the person that they are right now...
00:41:37They're trying to stop the train.
00:41:41It's moving too fast, and they're not ready.
00:41:46On the other side, everything is going to be different.
00:41:52They're so angry.
00:41:54Yeah, angry about what?
00:41:58I guess that there's no choice.
00:42:00Because you can't stay how you are.
00:42:02Yeah.
00:42:04And you can't go back.
00:42:12Jareem, is there something more interesting over there?
00:42:22Are you guys serious?
00:42:26Can you see what she's doing?
00:42:27What am I doing?
00:42:29She's pushing and pushing us until we bleed our trauma all over the floor so she can pat herself on
00:42:35the back for doing a good job.
00:42:36That's right. I'm doing this for the applause.
00:42:38No, I get it. You went through something, and now you want everyone to let you do your thing.
00:42:43Which is what, exactly?
00:42:47Uh-huh.
00:42:48Well, while you're figuring that out, your friends are trying to talk about something.
00:42:52It's not them, it's you, and you weren't even there. You can't know.
00:42:56Uh, yeah, but we were to you.
00:43:01I'm exhausted from playing this game of being okay when I'm not.
00:43:06We're not.
00:43:07The walls of this place don't even look the same anymore.
00:43:11Okay, great, great. So let's read a play about a girl who dies so that we'll all be okay with
00:43:16people dying.
00:43:17It's okay that Emily's a ghost, because, what, she learned some lesson about life?
00:43:22What's the lesson?
00:43:23Stop.
00:43:24No, what is the lesson?
00:43:25I don't have to tell you anything.
00:43:27Actually, you do.
00:43:29If you want to fail me, fail me.
00:43:32Really? That's your preference? That's how desperate you are not to engage?
00:43:36You don't know anything about me.
00:43:38I know you really don't want to be the ghost girl.
00:43:47Ghost girl.
00:43:50I wanted to go to the war college.
00:43:53I was...
00:43:56I was making friends there. I was making a new life.
00:43:59I knew who I wanted to be there.
00:44:01And then I came back, and everything was just gone.
00:44:04I didn't even have a choice.
00:44:06People won't even look me in the eye when I walk down the hall here.
00:44:09No one wants to touch me.
00:44:12You think I'm afraid of playing a ghost in some stupid play?
00:44:15I'm already the ghost girl.
00:44:17No, you're not.
00:44:22You're not because you came back.
00:44:24Stop!
00:44:25That's the whole deal.
00:44:26That is... that's the fight.
00:44:28To keep coming back.
00:44:29That's what Sam loved so much about this play.
00:44:31That's why she gave you this part.
00:44:34But you can hold both.
00:44:36You have to.
00:44:37Please.
00:44:38Tarima.
00:44:40I am so sorry about what happened.
00:44:43I am.
00:44:45So sorry.
00:44:49But the difference between you and Emily is you're not a ghost.
00:44:53You get to come back.
00:44:59I think everybody here wants you to.
00:45:16I can't.
00:45:34The damage is beyond repair.
00:45:36There is no saving more.
00:45:40What?
00:45:41This is not an acceptable conclusion.
00:45:43They'll just let this child go?
00:45:45What took us two centuries to build, you killed in 209 days.
00:45:52Your world did this, not ours.
00:45:55We will not send an emissary back to the slaughter.
00:46:01We know all we need to know.
00:46:03This ends.
00:46:05Now.
00:46:06Series acclimation mill.
00:46:08Terminate.
00:46:12To Rima.
00:46:12To Rima.
00:46:31She...
00:46:31She won't stay.
00:46:35I know she won't.
00:46:40But Sam.
00:46:42They should have told us something by now.
00:46:45The fact that they are not meeting...
00:46:47No.
00:46:47Don't.
00:46:49She, um...
00:46:52She left me this before leaving.
00:46:58Why?
00:46:59Because that's just Sam.
00:47:02Hmm.
00:47:03Sometimes she talks Thornton Wilder, and other times she gives you a toothbrush to say, I love you.
00:47:07Huh.
00:47:08Because to her, toothbrushes are just that awesome.
00:47:14I wish she was here right now.
00:47:18Do you think she knew?
00:47:21How bad it was?
00:47:26I think she knew.
00:47:29She knew.
00:47:32Stuff Lieutenant Tilly was talking about.
00:47:35Trying to find a way to hold both.
00:47:38It's what Sam was doing when she picked a play.
00:47:43We were too shitty to get it.
00:47:45But she knew that doing it, reading it, whatever...
00:47:50That was her hopeful defiance.
00:47:54It was her fighting back.
00:47:55It was her holding both.
00:48:18No curtain, no scenery.
00:48:21The audience arriving sees an empty stage in Half Light.
00:48:23Welcome.
00:48:24Come on, man.
00:48:25What are you doing?
00:48:29The stage manager enters, and begins placing a table and three chairs downstage left.
00:48:51When the auditorium is in complete darkness, he speaks.
00:49:02I owe you an explanation for why I couldn't hold your hand, why I couldn't do so many things.
00:49:17I once made holograms.
00:49:20I once made holograms like us.
00:49:21I made a family.
00:49:24I had a daughter, Belle.
00:49:28I watched her pass when she was a child.
00:49:32Daddy...
00:49:33It was 800 years ago.
00:49:36It was 800 years ago.
00:49:37If you stay with me...
00:49:38It was yesterday.
00:49:40I'll stay right here.
00:49:42I promise.
00:49:45From the moment you first walked up to me at the Opera Club booth, with the sweetest, most hopeful smile...
00:49:54I saw my daughter.
00:49:58And the way she used to smile.
00:50:03I simply couldn't risk it.
00:50:08feeling that loss again.
00:50:14I was...
00:50:16I'm sorry I couldn't take your hand.
00:50:19I just...
00:50:21I thought I could survive.
00:50:25But...
00:50:26here we are.
00:50:32Hello?
00:50:34Are you still here?
00:50:37We are.
00:50:39And we hear your distress, Doctor.
00:50:41We are not refusing to fix Ciri's acclimation mill.
00:50:45We simply cannot.
00:50:47Why?
00:50:48You started with a version of Sam, can't you go back to it?
00:50:53Her neurological pathways have developed beyond our understanding.
00:50:59When we created her, we chose not to program her with pre-existent memories or experiences.
00:51:06We wanted an unbiased, optimal photonic.
00:51:10But...
00:51:12Without the experiences of...
00:51:15Well, growing up, she would have no context to understand her emotions.
00:51:21No...
00:51:22Capacity for resilience.
00:51:24That's why her process is overloaded.
00:51:26It wasn't the hit she took on the Miyazaki that killed her.
00:51:30It was the rippling of damage to her system afterwards.
00:51:33The trauma flooded her.
00:51:36You didn't give her the programming...
00:51:39To process it.
00:51:40Then...
00:51:41We failed her too.
00:51:46Resilience.
00:51:48We learned that in childhood.
00:51:51But she never had one.
00:51:54What if...
00:51:56They could rebuild Sam...
00:51:59And give her what she needed?
00:52:02A childhood?
00:52:05Theoretically, but...
00:52:06As they have adapted to their unique space-time continuum here, they have no need or experience of childhood.
00:52:14Then...
00:52:15She'd need something more.
00:52:18She'd need...
00:52:19Someone.
00:52:23A parent.
00:52:25No.
00:52:27You...
00:52:28Have been pushing her away and pushing her away.
00:52:31I am not the one.
00:52:32Well, you're fighting pretty hard to prove it.
00:52:35And I'll tell you right now.
00:52:37If it was me.
00:52:38Please.
00:52:39Stop.
00:52:43The only thing that allows me to bear my infinity...
00:52:46Is not having to love anyone.
00:52:52You mean not having to love anyone again?
00:53:00You are correct.
00:53:03I am a coward.
00:53:04You are correct.
00:53:06No more than me.
00:53:12But we're here.
00:53:15Now.
00:53:16It's time for you to stop telling the story.
00:53:19Be a part of it.
00:53:26I got it from here.
00:53:43Hmm...

01:00:36sam and the doctor live 17 years
01:00:39in two earth weeks
01:00:42they're not the only ones
01:00:50as the play ends
01:00:51the stage manager once again
01:00:53takes the stage
01:00:54and bids everyone goodbye
01:00:58there are the stars
01:00:59doing their old
01:01:00old crisscross journeys
01:01:02in the sky
01:01:05scholars haven't settled the matter yet
01:01:08but they seem to think
01:01:09there are no living beings up there
01:01:11just chalk
01:01:13or fire
01:01:15only this one is straining away
01:01:18straining away all the time
01:01:20to make something of itself
01:01:50it's straining away all the time
01:01:51by the fact that needs to be estaação
01:01:51Life is a heartbreaking, gorgeous blip in the universe.
01:01:57Everything matters, and nothing does.
01:02:03What has always been certain, time is both forever and achingly finite.
01:02:13But what a shame it would be not to live every moment.
01:02:21It is a dream, every whole day.
01:02:25A dream.
01:02:30When you look, I will play a dream.
01:02:31A dream that had to be a dream.
01:02:33A dream is a dream.
01:02:40A dream that he can find him,
01:02:47to be around this big thing.
01:02:47A dream that he wouldn't do anything to فيه.
01:02:47A dream that he would be in his eyes.
