1:05:02
HE WAS CURIOUS
FROM BIRTH.
1:05:07
PREMATURE BY 2 WEEKS.
1:05:08
ALMOST AS IF HE COULDN'T
WAIT TO GET STARTED.
1:05:10
Mike: HIS EAGERNESS
TO LEAVE HIS MOTHER'S WOMB
1:05:13
WAS THE VERY REASON
HE WAS THE ONE SELECTED.
1:05:14
IN COMPETITION WITH 5 OTHER
UNWANTED PREGNANCIES,
1:05:17
THE CASTING OF A SHOW,
DETERMINED BY AN AIR DATE,
1:05:20
TRUMAN WAS THE ONE
WHO ARRIVED ON CUE.
1:05:27
Mike: INCIDENTALLY, I BELIEVE
TRUMAN IS THE FIRST CHILD
1:05:31
TO HAVE BEEN LEGALLY ADOPTED
BY A CORPORATION.
1:05:33
THAT'S CORRECT.
1:05:34
THE SHOW HAS GENERATED
ENORMOUS REVENUES NOW,
1:05:36
EQUIVALENT TO THE GROSS NATIONAL
PRODUCT OF A SMALL COUNTRY.
1:05:40
PEOPLE FORGET IT TAKES
THE POPULATION
1:05:42
OF AN ENTIRE COUNTRY TO
KEEP THE SHOW RUNNING.
1:05:44
SINCE THE SHOW IS ON
24-HOURS A DAY
1:05:46
WITHOUT COMMERCIAL INTERRUPTION,
ALL THOSE STAGGERING REVENUES
1:05:49
ARE GENERATED
BY PRODUCT PLACEMENT.
1:05:52
THAT'S TRUE. EVERYTHING
ON THE SHOW IS FOR SALE.
1:05:54
FROM THE ACTOR'S WARDROBE,
FOOD PRODUCTS,
1:05:56
TO THE VERY HOMES
THEY LIVE IN.
1:05:57
Mike: AND ALL OF IT AVAILABLE
IN THE TRUMAN CATALOG.
1:06:00
OPERATORS ARE STANDING BY.
1:06:02
CHRISTOF, LET ME ASK YOU,
1:06:03
WHY DO YOU THINK TRUMAN
HAS NEVER COME CLOSE
1:06:07
TO DISCOVERING THE TRUE NATURE
OF HIS WORLD UNTIL NOW?
1:06:10
WE ACCEPT THE REALITY
OF THE WORLD
1:06:12
WITH WHICH WE ARE
PRESENTED.
1:06:14
IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
1:06:17
THE HAGUE FOR CHRISTOF.
1:06:19
HELLO? THE HAGUE?
1:06:22
ALL RIGHT,
WE'VE LOST THAT CALL.
1:06:23
LET'S GO TO HOLLYWOOD.
YOU'RE ON TRU-TALK.
1:06:26
HI, CHRISTOF. I'D JUST
LIKE TO SAY ONE THING.
1:06:28
YOU'RE A LIAR
AND A MANIPULATOR,
1:06:30
AND WHAT YOU'VE DONE
TO TRUMAN IS SICK!
1:06:32
WELL, WE REMEMBER
THIS VOICE, DON'T WE?
1:06:37
HOW COULD WE FORGET?
1:06:38
Mike: LET'S GO
TO ANOTHER CALL.
1:06:40
NO, NO, NO.
IT'S FINE, MIKE.
1:06:43
I LOVE TO REMINISCE WITH
FORMER MEMBERS OF THE CAST.
1:06:48
SYLVIA...
1:06:50
AS YOU ANNOUNCED SO
MELODRAMATICALLY TO THE WORLD,
1:06:53
YOU THINK BECAUSE YOU BATTED
YOUR EYES AT TRUMAN ONCE...
1:06:59
FLIRTED WITH HIM...
