before sunrise. i want to obtain the soundtrack, at some point.
Jesse: Well, you know, despite all that kind of bullshit that comes along with
it, I remember childhood as this, you know, this magical time. I do. I remember
when, uh, my mother first told me about death. My great-grandmother had just
died, and my whole family had just visited them in Florida. I was about 3, 3 and
a half years old. Anyway, I was in the backyard, playing, and my sister had just
taught me how to take the garden hose, and do it in such a way that, uh, you
could spray it into the sun, and you could make a rainbow. And so I was doing
that, and through the mist I could see my grandmother. And she was just standing
there, smiling at me. And uh, then I held it there, for a long time, and I
looked at her. And then finally, I let go of the nozzle, y'know, and then I
dropped the hose, and she disappeared. And so I went back inside, and I tell my
parents, y'know. And they, uh, sit me down give me big rap on how when people
die you never see them again, and how I'd imagined it. But, I knew what I'd
seen. And I was just glad that I saw that. I mean, I've never seen anything like
that since. But, I don't know. It just kind of let me know how ambiguous
everything was, y'know, even death.
Selene: You're really lucky you can have this attitude towards death. I think
I'm afraid of death 24 hours a day. I swear. I mean, that's why I'm in a train
right now. I could have flown to Paris, but I'm too scared.
Jesse: Oh, come.
Selene: I can't help it. I can't help it. I know the statistics say na-na-na,
its safer, whatever [Jesse laughs]. When I'm in a plane, I can see it. I can see
the explosion, [Jesse gives explosion sound effect]. I can see me falling
through the clouds, and I'm so scared of those few seconds of consciousness
before you're gonna die, you know, when you know for sure you're gonna die. I
can't stop thinking that way. Its exhausting.
Jesse: Yeah, I bet.
Selene: Really exhausting. [she looks out window, points, as train slows down].
I think this is Vienna.
Jesse: Yeah.
Selene: You get off here, no?
Jesse: Yeah, what a drag. I wish I had met you earlier, you know, I really like
talking to you.
Selene: Yeah, me too. It was really nice to meet you. [train stops]
