00:00Dreams, images, ideas, and emotions, once created by our minds as we peacefully slept
00:08through the night, are now just a distant memory for those of us old enough to remember
00:12them.
00:1330 years ago today was the night we fell into darkness, the night we as a people stopped
00:19dreaming.
00:20Just think of it, the life you've always wanted to live, possible with the phantocyte worm.
00:25Okay.
00:26You put them in your ear at night, they dissolve.
00:29You sleep naturally, you take them nightly, and by the morning, you've had the dream of
00:35a lifetime.
00:36Phantocytes brought us closer together.
00:37Now we look forward to the night, every night.
00:38I'm Charles.
00:39Nice to meet you.
00:40Nice to meet you.
00:41We should like, get away from work one day and just like, hang out and just be able to
00:47relax and just cut loose for like a night.
00:49Right now you need a guy who is going to be there for you.
00:51You need somebody who is going to love you, who's going to care about you.
00:54No, I don't want to do this now.
00:56I would rather leave than have this really uncomfortable dinner with the maintenance
01:00guy of our building.
01:01It may be fitting that the miracle worm has found its way underground.
01:04There's no more?
01:05You can't, you can't get them?
01:06Do you have any money, Charles?
01:09We got plenty that you can do around here, Charles, with phantocytes.
01:12It doesn't always take money.
01:16Maybe, uh, you and I could dream?
01:30Yeah, sure.
01:32I wish we could just sit here all day and never go home.
