1:02:00
and found the Failsafe running...
1:02:02
he knew exactly what it was.
1:02:05
But Abe would ask how.
1:02:08
And then the bit
about the modular design of the coffins...
1:02:11
and how it meant he could fold one up
and take it back inside another.
1:02:15
They are not one-time use only.
1:02:17
They are recyclable, Aaron would say.
1:02:25
How, Abe would ask.
1:02:30
And Aaron would describe
how simple things become...
1:02:34
when you know precisely
what someone will have for breakfast...
1:02:37
even in a world of tamper-proof lids.
1:03:01
How?
1:03:03
And that's where
I would have entered the story.
1:03:06
Or exited, depending on your reference.
1:03:10
Because when Aaron came back
the second time, it wasn't so easy.
1:03:16
He wasn't expecting me to put up a fight.
1:03:18
And by that time,
he was too exhausted to take me.
1:03:23
But for reasons
that are only evident to me now...
1:03:26
I understood that he simply wanted it more.
1:03:28
That he just had more invested. So I left.
1:03:32
He had already performed the task,
as I had intended to...
1:03:35
of recording the conversations of the day
just in case.
1:03:39
Through that earpiece
he had a three-second lead on the world.
1:03:42
Aaron, you need some sleep.
Some real sleep.
1:03:45
I can't. I've got a schedule.
1:03:49
He had but to speak aloud the words
that came into his head...
1:03:53
and those around him would fall in line.
