Excuse me?
I'm sorry to bother you I just- I'm trying to get to Dyckman...?
Is there anyway I can get there from here?
No bother. Dyckman, yes.
The train you just got off of will take you right up there.
Really?
Sure.
Great.
My phone died so I wasn't really sure...
No you- you'll be just fine.
Thank you.
Just fine.
Dyckman, that's right up near Fort Tryon Park. Beautiful park.
Yeah. I was just there today.
That area used to be country homes not too long ago.
Nice little playground for the wealthy.
And then John Rockefeller brought it all up and gave it back to the city.
Wow
He even bought the land across the Hudson to preserve the view.
And he didn't even need to plaster his name all over the landscape.
He was one of the good ones. They're not all like that, you know.
Nope, they don't need to teach you.
But not everyone is as smart.
It wasn't until a hundred thousand years ago that we even began walking on our hind legs at all...
And even then...
Right.
You're new here?
My first day, if you can believe it.
I can believe that. And that would explain the bags and whatnot, wouldn't it?
Yep.
I moved here in the early 70's, if you can believe that.
During the Hard Hat Riots.
Back when there was a little something
called human connection, if you know what I mean.
And and now we've got these phones-
I'll tell you something-
We thought the Native Americans were foolish to sell
Manhattan for a few colorful beads?
Well, we are putting all our most personal information into these phones.
Where we live, what we like, what we don't,
our finances, our attention spans, how we spend our time,
and for what?
Some games? Some fancy colors?
Selling our privacy for a few colorful beads-
Our souls, really.
Wow.
Yeah.
Well I don't have to tell you...
You were always very smart growing up.
I'm sorry, I just uhm-
Are you sure this train will get me to Dyckman Street?
Oh yes. Eventually.
Great.
Eventually everything will happen. Have you thought of that?
If time goes on forever, it's a scientific principle
that anything that could happen will indeed happen.
I'm counting on that.
Yeah, um...you know what?
It's getting late. I uh, I think I'm gonna take a taxi home.
But it was really nice talking with you.
It's been such a joy to see you again, Lorelai...
I can't believe where the time has gone.
It has a way of disappearing, doesn't it?
Yeah, it- it really does...
Yeah it does.
I must ask- excuse me, please?
Don't do this again Lorelai.
Oh please, Lorelai.
Please don't leave me.
Don't leave me!
Please!
Don't leave me here!
AAAAAAAAAGHHHHH!
