1:21:01
We had a chance to make
something out of this world.

1:21:04
We blew it. Okay.
1:21:06
Another kind of a civilization
is gonna take a turn.

1:21:09
- Give me an 11 -mil wrench, will ya?
- I’m sitting up on top of
this mountain, right?

1:21:12
- Right.
- I’m surrounded by these gurus...

1:21:14
- and swamis and monks, right?
- Right.

1:21:16
- I’m lookin’ at my stomach.
- Yeah.

1:21:18
- I’m knockin’ back a little rice wine.
- Uh-huh.

1:21:23
Got some contemplation goin’.
I see things like they are.

1:21:26
- I coulda told you all this was comin’.
- What’s coming?

1:21:29
Jim, it’s happening right under
our noses and we can’t see it.

1:21:32
We take machines
and we stuff’em with information
until they’re smarter than we are.

1:21:37
Take a car. Most guys
spread more love and time and money...

1:21:42
on their car in a week than they do
on their wife and kids in a year.

1:21:46
Pretty soon, you know what?
The machine starts to think it is somebody.

1:21:52
I’m not saying that a mechanical thing,
it can’t be a friend.

1:21:56
Like, when I was
broke one summer...

1:21:58
there was this giant claw machine
in the Sutro Amusement Park.

1:22:02
And it would grab cameras and watches
and drop them down a hole to me.

1:22:06
And I would hock ‘em and buy lunch.
You follow me?

1:22:08
Yeah. Yeah. I think you were up
on that mountaintop too long.

1:22:13
Contrariwise, the traffic light
down the street hates my guts.

1:22:18
I don’t know why.
But in the last six weeks...

1:22:20
I haven’t caught anything
but a stop signal.

1:22:22
And it makes me wait six seconds
longer than anybody else! I timed it!

1:22:27
There’s things like that happen
to lots of other people too.

1:22:30
But the other people,
they don’t tell no other people...

1:22:32
because the other people
would say, “Hey-ey-ey-ey.”

1:22:36
Tennessee, that traffic light
is a lot of nuts and bolts.

1:22:41
This little car,
a lot of nuts and bolts.

1:22:44
Everything explains itself,
one way or the other.

1:22:47
- You’re not listenin’ to me.
- Don’t lose your grip, old buddy.

1:22:50
This little car didn’t do one thing
tonight that can’t be explained...

1:22:52
in terms of short circuits, sprung doors,
grabbing steering, worn knuckles...

1:22:56
maybe some advertising gimmick.
1:22:58
I’ll fix it.
