1:04:00
Savor the input
from all the senses.

1:04:03
Feel the joy and sorrow, the laughter,
the empathy, compassion...

1:04:06
and tote the emotional
memory in your travel bag.

1:04:09
I remember where I came from
and how I became a human.

1:04:13
Why I hung around. And now my final
departure is scheduled.

1:04:16
This way out.
Escaping velocity.

1:04:19
Not just eternity,
but infinity.

1:04:49
- Excuse me.
- Excuse me.

1:04:56
Hey. Could we
do that again?

1:04:59
I know we haven't met, but I don't
want to be an ant. You know?

1:05:02
I mean, it's like
we go through life...

1:05:06
with our antennas
bouncing off one other,

1:05:08
continuously
on ant autopilot,

1:05:11
with nothing really human
required of us.

1:05:15
Stop. Go.
Walk here. Drive there.

1:05:19
All action
basically for survival.

1:05:21
All communication simply to keep
this ant colony buzzing along...

1:05:26
in an efficient,
polite manner.

1:05:28
" Here's your change." " Paper
or plastic?" "Credit or debit?"

1:05:32
"You want ketchup
with that?"

1:05:35
I don't want a straw.
I want real human moments.

1:05:40
I want to see you.
I want you to see me.

1:05:43
I don't want to give that up.
I don't want to be an ant, you know?

1:05:49
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
1:05:51
I don't want
to be an ant, either.

1:05:54
Yeah, thanks for kind of,
like, jostling me there.

1:05:57
I've been kind of
on zombie autopilot lately.
