Here
:08:02
is the story of man.
:08:07
In the slime of chaos
:08:10
there was the seed
that rose and grew

:08:15
into the tree of life.
:08:18
Life was motion.
Fins changed into wings.

:08:22
Wings into ears.
:08:25
Crawling reptiles grew legs.
:08:30
Eons of ages passed.
:08:35
There came a time
:08:37
when a four-legged thing
walked upright.

:08:44
Behold, the first man.
:08:56
Heresy!
:08:58
Heresy?
:08:59
Heresy?
:09:01
Do they still burn men
for heresy?

:09:05
Then burn me, monsieur.
Light the fire.

:09:09
Do you think
your little candle

:09:12
will outshine
the flame of truth?

:09:14
Do you think
these boards and curtains

:09:18
are my whole life?
:09:23
They are only a trap
:09:25
to catch the pennies of fools.
:09:31
My life is consecrated
:09:35
to a great experiment.
:09:38
I tell you, I will prove
your kinship with the ape.

:09:46
Erik’s blood shall be mixed
:09:50
with the blood of man.
:09:54
What does he mean?
:09:56
I wish I knew.
:09:59
Mesdames et messieurs
