:33:02
Really?
:33:04
Is there anything more terrifying
than the destruction of the world?
:33:08
Yeah.
:33:10
The knowledge that it doesn't
matter one way or the other.
:33:14
That it's all random.
:33:17
Originating aimlessly out of nothing and...
:33:22
..eventually vanishing for ever.
:33:26
I'm not talking about the world.
:33:29
I'm talking about the universe.
:33:32
All space, all time, just...
:33:36
..a temporary convulsion.
:33:40
And I get paid to prove it.
:33:42
You feel sure of that, when
you look out on a night like tonight...
:33:46
..and see all those millions of stars?
That none of it matters?
:33:52
I think it's just as beautiful as you do.
:33:56
And vaguely evocative of some deep truth
that always just keeps slipping away.
:34:04
But then my professional
perspective overcomes me,...
:34:08
..a less wishful,
more penetrating view of it,...
:34:15
..and I understand it for what it truly is.
:34:20
Haphazard,...
:34:23
..morally neutral...
:34:26
..and unimaginably violent.
:34:30
Look, we shouldn't have
this conversation.
:34:36
I have to sleep alone tonight.
:34:41
That's why I cling to Diane...
:34:43
..and consider myself very lucky.
:34:47
She's warm and vital
and holds me while I sleep.
:34:52
That way I don't have to dream of
photons and quarks.
