:42:02
Steven, how'd you end up
working as a doorman?

:42:04
It is our immigration agreement.
We must work.

:42:08
The building supervisor hired Steven
as a member of our congregation.

:42:11
- He was so skinny.
- Skeleton man from Africa. Skeleton man--

:42:15
- What did we say about that?
- I don't want to hear it again.
It'll be no Internet tonight.

:42:20
Didn't know what a can opener was.
He opened cans with a big knife like at the camp.

:42:24
There aren't lions roaming here but there were
in Sudan, and the orphan boys got chased.

:42:28
- And one time, a big alligator
bit his friend's head off.
- [ Boy ] It was a crocodile.

:42:32
He wanted to know where all the meat
comes from since he didn't see any cows.

:42:36
[ Man ]
Guys, that's enough.!

:42:38
Albert, what brought you
to the philosophical club?

:42:40
[ Albert ] You mean
the existential detectives?

:42:43
- Sounds like a support group.
- Why can't he use a church?

:42:45
Sometimes people
have additional questions to be answered.

:42:48
- Like what?
- Well, um, for instance--

:42:50
If the forms of this world die,
which is more real...

:42:53
the me that dies
or the me that's infinite?

:42:55
Can I trust my habitual mind or do I need
to learn to look beneath those things?

:42:59
Sounds like we got
a philosopher.

:43:02
We don't have to ask those kinds
of questions, do we, Mom?

:43:05
- No, honey.
- What happened to the cat, Albert?

:43:07
H-How'd you know
about my cat?

:43:10
- The cat was killed by curiosity.
- Right. That cat.

:43:13
- What do you do?
- I'm the director of the Open Spaces Coalition.

:43:16
- We fight suburban sprawl.
- What's suburban sprawl?

:43:19
Ask Steven. He could have used a little
suburban sprawl in Sudan.

:43:21
Excuse me, Dad?
:43:24
Industry, houses,jobs,
restaurants, medicine--

:43:26
You can preserve a lot of open spaces
and have jobs for people with--

:43:29
- I beg your pardon, Albert. I wasn't finished.
- Sorry, sir.

:43:32
Clothes, videos, toys, cheeseburgers, cars,
a functioning economy.

:43:35
You can still have a functioning economy and
preserve open spaces with a little planning.

:43:39
- Yeah.
- Socialism. Complete disaster.

:43:42
- Theodore Roosevelt was a socialist? And Yeats?
- Theodore Roosevelt--

:43:45
Henry David Thoreau, Robinson Jeffers,
the National Geographic Society, all socialists?

:43:49
-You're talking about socialism.
-No, I'm not. I'm talking about...

:43:52
not covering every square inch
with houses and strip malls...

:43:55
until you can't remember what happens
when you stand in a meadow at dusk.

:43:58
- What happens in the meadow at dusk?
- Everything.
