:09:01
The rest of the candidates and myself
understand the risks we're taking.
:09:05
Why?
:09:07
It's a historic opportunity.
The world needs--
:09:09
You, Ellie. You!
You personally.
:09:13
By doing this,
you're willing to give your life.
:09:16
You're willing to die for it.
:09:20
Why?
:09:25
From as long as I can remember,
I've been searching for...
:09:29
...something...
:09:31
...some reason why we're here.
What are we doing here? Who are we?
:09:35
If this is a chance to find out
even a part of that answer....
:09:40
I don't know,
I think it's worth a human life.
:09:44
Don't you?
:09:51
You're an incredibly brave woman, Ellie.
:09:57
Or incredibly nuts.
:10:27
I'm really confused.
:10:30
So am I.
:10:32
I think I speak for us all
when I thank you for your patience.
:10:36
Myself, I have one
final question, Dr. Arroway.
:10:41
If you should meet these Vegans...
:10:43
...and were permitted only
one question to ask of them...
:10:48
...what would it be?
:10:51
I suppose it would be:
:10:53
"How did you do it?
:10:55
How did you evolve? How did you
survive technological adolescence...
:10:59
...without destroying yourself?"
