歌詞
What are you eating?
Just a little midnight snack
Popcorn?
No, it's paper
Paper. Really...
Here we have this magnificent library
A feast!
It's good, try some
It'll fool your stomach, anyway
That's actually quite tasty
This is A Tale of Two Cities
Oh, I love A Tale of Two Cities
May I?
The classics
Always nourishing—
Now literally so
Can I tell you a secret?
Of course
It's my birthday
Today?
Or somewhere around my birthday...
Mazel tov!
But why is that a secret?
Leo never remembers...
But isn't that a sign?
Father–here we are, all together
Lots of time on our hands
This should be our chance to dig in!
To talk about real things
Important things!
Existence! The meaning of life!
Isn't that why you came to the door?
To discuss just that?
Yes, but...
The meaning of life?
Not that that's not important…
Okay, so maybe not the meaning of life
What is… I don't know…
Being, for example
According to the experts?
Being…
Well, philosophically Yes
Hmm
Um
What’s the matter?
If I explain being, will you let me hold your shoes?
Of course!
There you are
Go ahead, Father
I'm all agog
Yes. Being. Well
Uh, first of all—
You might say—
We're here
Actually here
On Earth
Most likely
Though perhaps not
As are other people
And also objects—
Like these beautiful satin slippers
Yes? And?
And that means something
That we're here
We mean something, apparently
We're what you might call
Matter that matters
Or not, depending on who you read
So, we're here for a time
On, possibly, Earth
With these very soft satin slippers
And other people, etcetera
And we live our lives
And then we die
And spend eternity with God—
Or go to hell
If there happens to be one
Or else we pass into complete nothingness
A total void
Forever and ever
That we're actually unaware of
Because we're not here anymore
The End
I really enjoyed that
What a world, hmm?
With Being, and everything
Thank you for these slippers
Quite inspiring
And look at that—snow
Yes, or manna
Manna!
Without us even having ordered it!
Supposedly that's how it works
No
Definitely snow
So—just to be clear—
If all of that is "Being"
What are we supposed to do about it?
I suppose—
Be here
Until we're not
To be continued
Exactly!
"To be"… continued
Until otherwise notified
No, I meant—
Well, maybe I did mean that
Thank you, Father
Nightie-night
Oh, Mrs. Brink...
Happy birthday
Make a wish
