:26:01
The natural curiosity of me,
the most lasting...
:26:04
and significant element
in existence, has come to see you.
:26:10
About what?
:26:13
l want to have a look around
before l take you.
:26:18
Take me where?
:26:22
lt requires competence,
wisdom and experience.
:26:25
All those things they say
about you in testimonials.
:26:29
And you're the one.
:26:32
- The one to do what?
- Show me around,
:26:36
be my guide.
:26:38
And in return, you get--
:26:44
l get what?
:26:47
Time:
:26:49
minutes, days, weeks.
:26:52
Let's not get encumbered by detail.
:26:54
What matters is
that l stay interested.
:27:03
Yes.
:27:07
''Yes'' what?
:27:09
Yes is the answer
to your question.
:27:15
- What question?
- Oh, Bill.
:27:17
Come on. The question.
:27:20
The question you've been asking yourself
with increased regularity,
:27:24
at odd moments, panting through
the extra game of handball,
:27:27
when you ran for the plane in Delhi,
:27:29
when you sat up in bed
last night and hit the floor
in the office this morning.
:27:32
The question that is in
the back of your throat,
:27:36
choking the blood
to your brain,
:27:38
ringing in your ears over and over
as you put it to yourself.
:27:46
- ''The question.''
- Yes, Bill.
:27:48
''The question.''
:27:55
The question.
