One day...a commander said to a sergeant,
:08:05
''There's a windmill over there.''
:08:10
the sergeant answered,
''There's no mill but there is wind.''

:08:26
Remember the story you told me?
:08:41
l know why the soldier did what he did.
:08:49
Because he knows, on the 100th day,
:08:53
if the princess reneged on her promise,
:08:57
the soldier would have been heart-broken,
and died of grief.

:09:01
So he chose to leave on the 99th night,
:09:04
this way the princess
would remember him forever.

:09:09
Do what the soldier did, Toto.
Leave here...

:09:14
This place is cursed.
:09:17
Living here day after day,
:09:19
you think it's the center of the world.
:09:23
You believe nothing will ever change.
:09:27
Then you leave. A year, two years...
:09:30
When you come back, everything's changed.
:09:35
The thread's broken.
What you came to find isn't there.

:09:40
What was yours is gone.
:09:44
You have to go away for a while.
:09:46
Make something of your life
before you come back to your people...

:09:51
to the land where you were born.
:09:55
But now, no, it's not possible.
:09:56
Right now, you're blinder than l am.
