- 1:26Speaker 12: more cars for more dealerships than like anywhere else.
- 1:29Speaker 4: You have to put me in touch.
- 1:30Speaker 1: What's it called?
- 1:31Speaker 12: It's Dune ADL.
- 1:33Speaker 10: Where?
- 1:35Speaker 6: Dune ADL.
- 1:36Speaker 12: There's an accent on the E.
- 1:39Speaker 4: Do you mean.

- 1:46Speaker 12: Don't deal cars. You couldn't possibly go anywhere else.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Peter Paul Cadbury wants to send you a collection of
- 1:55Speaker 2: commemorative scenes from alien worlds, so have a paper and
- 1:58Speaker 2: pencil ready and I'll tell you about it in a
- 2:00Speaker 2: few minutes. Slowly rotating at the edge of deep space, 1,000
- 2:08Speaker 2: kilometers beyond the atmosphere of 21st century Earth, is the
- 2:13Speaker 2: Arthur C. Clarke Astronomical Observatory, Starlab, Here, Starlab Research Director
- 2:19Speaker 2: Maura Cassidy and scientists and technicians of the International Space
- 2:24Speaker 2: Authority watch over the countless stars and planets that fill
- 2:29Speaker 2: the silent distances beyond the giant space station. Last week's
- 2:35Speaker 2: episode began when the Serendipity 1, an incoming shuttle from
- 2:39Speaker 2: the circus planet of Barnum 5, head serendipity one.
- 2:46Speaker 6: This is the amazing Daphne, full-time tattooed lady and part-time
- 2:51Speaker 6: shuttle pilot for Otto Starshine's interplanetary.
- 2:54Speaker 13: Carnival of thrilling wonders.
- 2:57Speaker 7: I have a package for S.E.T.
- 2:59Speaker 6: Captain Buddy Grimm.
- 3:00Speaker 10: Personal, from Otto himself.
- 3:06Speaker 14: Okay, Serendipity One, I have you on the screen.
- 3:09Speaker 15: Your docking orbit insertion coordinates are 503 at 20 Alpha,
- 3:14Speaker 15: docking bay seven.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Half an hour later, the amazing Daphne is reunited with
- 3:24Speaker 2: her old friend, Buddy Griff, who introduces her to Mora
- 3:27Speaker 2: and John Graydon.
- 3:29Speaker 7: Glad to know you, Mora. Put her there, Johnny.
- 3:32Speaker 4: Any friend of Buddy's is a pal of mine.
- 3:34Speaker 8: I've heard a lot about you, Daphne.
- 3:37Speaker 7: Uh, Buddy, I didn't know that you knew any tattooed ladies.
- 3:40Speaker 7: Me and the kid have known each other for years.
- 3:43Speaker 6: Well, when he was just a squirt, he used to
- 3:45Speaker 6: spend half the summer following Otto's carnival around.
- 3:48Speaker 8: How is Otto, anyway?
- 3:50Speaker 6: Buddy, he couldn't be better. Going interplanetary was the smartest
- 3:54Speaker 6: thing he ever did. Why, we got more attractions and
- 3:56Speaker 6: menageries than you can shake a stick at.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Three hours later, in the giant space station's main dining room,
- 4:08Speaker 2: Buddy introduces the amazing Daphne to Starlabs librarian Ingrid Tassel.
- 4:14Speaker 8: Oh, Daphne, this is Ingrid. She'll be coming to Barnum
- 4:16Speaker 8: 5 with me tomorrow.
- 4:17Speaker 7: Glad to know you, Ingrid.
- 4:19Speaker 4: Hello, Daphne.
- 4:20Speaker 16: Buddy's told me so much about you that it's nice
- 4:22Speaker 16: to finally see you in the flesh.
- 4:25Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I'm happy to say there's a lot of
- 4:28Speaker 7: flesh to see.
- 4:29Speaker 16: Will you have lunch with us, Daphne?
- 4:32Speaker 7: I'd really love to, honey, but I've got to be
- 4:35Speaker 7: getting back.
- 4:40Speaker 2: The next morning, as Buddy and Ingrid jet toward Barnum
- 4:44Speaker 2: 5 aboard the Marathon Alpha, Otto Starshine and Daphne stand
- 4:49Speaker 2: on the midway of Otto's interplanetary carnival, watching the gaffers, roustabouts,
- 4:54Speaker 2: and kinkers prepare for another day-long performance.
- 4:59Speaker 7: Say, have we gone ahead with what we talked about
- 5:00Speaker 7: last night?
- 5:01Speaker 8: The fourth ring? Yes, it's a wonderful idea. But it
- 5:05Speaker 8: requires a good deal of preparation.
- 5:07Speaker 17: So we had better take Buddy and Ingrid to Madame
- 5:10Speaker 17: Disha the moment they arrive.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Gotcha.
- 5:12Speaker 2: No, Disha.
- 5:13Speaker 7: Gotcha.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Two hours after leaving Starlab, Buddy lands the Marathon Alpha
- 5:26Speaker 2: at a small spaceport near Otto's Commodore. Fifteen minutes later,
- 5:36Speaker 2: Buddy and Ingrid are escorted down the midway to Otto's office,
- 5:39Speaker 2: a large red and gold circus wagon surrounded by neon
- 5:44Speaker 2: flagpoles that fly the multicolored banners and pennants of twenty
- 5:49Speaker 2: alien worlds.
- 5:51Speaker 8: Hello, buddy. You look great, Otto. Just great. Well, it's
- 5:56Speaker 8: been a long time, buddy.
- 5:58Speaker 6: Too long.
- 5:59Speaker 7: Well, what do you two think of the place so far?
- 6:01Speaker 8: Oh, it's terrific. I can't get over it. Excellent.
- 6:04Speaker 7: Glad to hear it, kids. Glad to hear it.
- 6:06Speaker 6: But if you think what you've seen so far is terrific,
- 6:09Speaker 6: prepare yourselves for lots more, because you ain't seen nothing yet.
- 6:14Speaker 2: And now, the conclusion of the Madonnas of Zanzibar Alpha
- 6:19Speaker 2: on Alien Worlds.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Alien Worlds.
- 6:46Speaker 15: Well, listen, Daph, if we ain't seen nothing yet, what
- 6:49Speaker 15: do you say we get out there on the old
- 6:50Speaker 15: midway and have at it?
- 6:51Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
- 6:52Speaker 16: There's so much going on out there, I can't imagine
- 6:55Speaker 16: how we'll be able to see even half of it
- 6:56Speaker 16: in only one day.
- 6:57Speaker 7: Don't worry about having enough time, Ingrid.
- 7:00Speaker 6: Why, between now and midnight, you're both going to see
- 7:02Speaker 6: such mind-boggling sights that we'll probably have to ship you
- 7:06Speaker 6: back to Starlab in an ambulance.
- 7:08Speaker 8: Oh! Uh, Ingrid?
- 7:11Speaker 3: Yes, Otto?
- 7:14Speaker 11: Do you have.
- 7:21Speaker 5: Any idea what.
- 7:26Speaker 8: You're talking about there?
- 7:31Speaker 4: I sure do.
- 7:33Speaker 6: Otto asked Ingrid if she was German, and she said no,
- 7:36Speaker 6: she was Dutch. Then he asked if she was from
- 7:39Speaker 6: the country or the city, and she said she was
- 7:42Speaker 6: born in Zandam.
- 7:43Speaker 7: A city north of Amsterdam.
- 7:45Speaker 6: And when he complimented her on her German, Ingrid said, thanks, Otto.
- 7:51Speaker 8: She definitely, I didn't know you understood German.
- 7:54Speaker 7: Otto taught me.
- 7:56Speaker 17: Buddy, Ingrid, I think it's time for you to meet
- 7:59Speaker 17: Madame Disha.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Who?
- 8:01Speaker 17: Madame Disha, our resident mystic, a fortune teller from the
- 8:06Speaker 17: planet of Heterodyne IV. She knows all, she sees all.
- 8:12Speaker 2: You mean.
- 8:13Speaker 8: Yes, buddy.
- 8:15Speaker 6: She sees all.
- 8:16Speaker 8: That could be a little embarrassing, couldn't it?
- 8:20Speaker 6: That all depends on where she looks.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Alien Worlds will continue.
- 8:38Speaker 3: From Peter Paul.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Cool as the snow falling light on the trees.
- 8:42Speaker 4: Just take a bite for a cool minty breeze. New

- 10:01Speaker 2: of Thrilling Wonders and taken to Otto's office, a large
- 10:06Speaker 2: red and gold circus wagon. Ten minutes later, Buddy, Ingrid,
- 10:16Speaker 2: Otto and the amazing Daphne leave Otto's wagon and walk
- 10:20Speaker 2: down the midway toward the mysterious Madame Disha's tent.
- 10:28Speaker 17: Good morning madam disha.

- 11:10Speaker 9: Ingrid on this side.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Okay.
- 11:14Speaker 9: Now, put your minds at ease. In a moment, the
- 11:18Speaker 9: crystal ball will fill with light. When it does, join hands,
- 11:24Speaker 9: look into the light, and concentrate.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Oh, buddy, look, it's beautiful. What do you see, my dear?
- 11:40Speaker 11: A sky, a lovely red sky, filled with clouds, white
- 11:46Speaker 11: and blue clouds.
- 11:47Speaker 4: And beneath the clouds?
- 11:50Speaker 8: Birds.
- 11:52Speaker 15: Hundreds of golden birds drifting on the wind.
- 11:56Speaker 4: And beneath the birds?
- 11:59Speaker 11: A valley filled with all the colors of autumn.
- 12:03Speaker 4: And in the center of the valley?
- 12:06Speaker 2: A river.
- 12:08Speaker 8: A singing silver river.
- 12:11Speaker 9: And does not the river remind you of a poem
- 12:14Speaker 9: you once wrote, buddy?
- 12:16Speaker 2: Yes.
- 12:18Speaker 15: A poem about birth and being alive in the fragile
- 12:23Speaker 15: body of a newborn child.
- 12:26Speaker 9: And does not the second verse of the poem mention
- 12:30Speaker 9: a singing river?
- 12:32Speaker 8: Yes.
- 12:34Speaker 15: Touched by silver waters, wrapped in velvet clothes, we sleep
- 12:40Speaker 15: in ivory cradles where the singing river flows.
- 12:46Speaker 4: And did not Buddy read this poem to you three
- 12:49Speaker 4: months ago, Ingrid?
- 12:51Speaker 2: Yes.
- 12:52Speaker 9: And did not the verse that mentions winter.
- 12:56Speaker 4: Cause you to weep?
- 12:58Speaker 2: Yes.
- 13:00Speaker 5: We aged in golden afternoons, were old when winter came,
- 13:05Speaker 5: and when we died as ancient children, we knew no
- 13:08Speaker 5: one was to blame. What do you see near the river?
- 13:15Speaker 8: A meadow.
- 13:16Speaker 15: A huge meadow. Filled with strange blue flowers. And when
- 13:25Speaker 15: the sunlight touches the flowers, their petals shed tears.
- 13:31Speaker 4: And in the center of the meadow, statues.
- 13:36Speaker 5: Enormous crystal statues of beautiful young women on their knees, praying.
- 13:43Speaker 4: They are Madonnas.
- 13:44Speaker 11: Sad Madonnas.
- 13:46Speaker 4: And why are they sad?
- 13:49Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 13:51Speaker 4: Ingrid, they are.
- 13:53Speaker 11: Sad because there is no one they can tell their
- 13:56Speaker 11: secrets to.
- 13:58Speaker 4: What secrets, Ingrid?
- 14:01Speaker 11: The Madonnas watch over an alien library that lies beneath
- 14:05Speaker 11: the ground they kneel on.
- 14:07Speaker 4: How is it that you sense their sadness?
- 14:10Speaker 5: Because when no one comes to learn the secrets of
- 14:13Speaker 5: the knowledge I watch over in the library on Starlab.
- 14:17Speaker 4: I am sad. And where do the Madanas wait, Ingrid?
- 14:23Speaker 4: Zanzibar Alpha. The lost world of Zanzibar Alpha. Zanzibar Alpha.
- 14:38Speaker 13: And so, another performance of Otto Starshine's Interplanetary Carnival comes
- 14:45Speaker 13: to a close. And the next time your friends ask
- 14:49Speaker 13: you where they can have the time of their lives,
- 14:53Speaker 13: say this. From the sands of Mars to the distant stars,
- 14:59Speaker 13: there's no greater show in the universe or anywhere else
- 15:04Speaker 13: than Otto Starshine's Interplanetary Carnival.
- 15:08Speaker 8: Of Thrilling Wonders.
- 15:10Speaker 13: Thank you, and good night!
- 15:14Speaker 11: ¶ ¶.
- 15:26Speaker 8: I don't know, Daphne.
- 15:27Speaker 15: I think it's a toss-up between Madame Disha's hallucinatory crystal
- 15:31Speaker 15: ball and glamorous Wanda's mammoth torso.
- 15:36Speaker 8: And what about you, Ingrid? What did you enjoy most?
- 15:40Speaker 16: Oh, the artificial comet that went zooming around inside the
- 15:43Speaker 16: big top. I thought it was wonderful when it exploded
- 15:47Speaker 16: and all the clowns came floating down inside a fire roof.
- 15:50Speaker 8: Well, here's the good old Marathon Alpha. Hey, wait a minute.
- 15:54Speaker 8: Who put that poster on the tail fin?
- 15:56Speaker 7: It was probably one of our Ballyhoo boys, buddy. I
- 16:00Speaker 7: don't know how they do it, but they.
- 16:02Speaker 6: Always manage to get one of our posters on anything
- 16:04Speaker 6: that'll stand still.
- 16:05Speaker 4: It looks nice.
- 16:07Speaker 8: Yeah, it does, doesn't it? Well, we'd better get a boarding. Hey,
- 16:12Speaker 8: thanks again, Otto. We had a terrific time.
- 16:15Speaker 4: Oh, yes, it was just wonderful. Oh, good, good.
- 16:18Speaker 8: Thank you so much.
- 16:19Speaker 3: Goodbye.
- 16:20Speaker 4: Ingrid.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Ingrid, wake up.
- 16:23Speaker 11: What?
- 16:41Speaker 14: Oh, buddy.
- 16:43Speaker 7: Are we home?
- 16:45Speaker 8: No, Ingrid, we're not home. I don't know where we are.
- 16:50Speaker 5: What? Doesn't the onboard computer know where we are?
- 16:54Speaker 8: It does, but I don't.
- 16:58Speaker 15: The computer's feeding a star matrix to the navigational display.
- 17:02Speaker 8: But I don't recognize any of the proximity coordinates.
- 17:06Speaker 4: Buddy, there's a planet out there.
- 17:09Speaker 15: I know. Oh.
- 17:11Speaker 8: We drifted into its gravitational field just before you woke up.
- 17:16Speaker 8: We're lost, Ingrid.
- 17:24Speaker 7: Buddy, what's happening?
- 17:28Speaker 8: The planet's pulling us down. We're out of control.
- 17:31Speaker 3: A sky.
- 17:32Speaker 11: A lovely red sky.
- 17:34Speaker 3: Filled with clouds.
- 17:36Speaker 17: White and blue clouds.
- 17:38Speaker 11: Buddy!
- 17:39Speaker 8: A river. A singing silver river. Ingrid!
- 17:44Speaker 13: Body!
- 17:45Speaker 4: Please don't let go of my hands!
- 17:47Speaker 5: Alien Worlds will continue.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Peter Paul Cadbury wants to send you a collection of
- 18:09Speaker 2: commemorative scenes from alien worlds. Nine full-color illustrations from fantastic
- 18:14Speaker 2: adventures like Earthlight and the Kilohertz War. And characters like

- 18:35Speaker 2: for your Alien Worlds souvenir booklet.
- 18:40Speaker 9: Sometimes I feel like a nut.
- 18:42Speaker 4: Sometimes I don't.
- 18:43Speaker 3: Almond Joy's got nuts.
- 18:45Speaker 11: Mounds don't.
- 18:45Speaker 13: Almond Joy's got chocolate-eating.
- 18:47Speaker 8: Coconut and munchie nuts, too.
- 18:49Speaker 7: Mounds got chocolate-eating.
- 18:51Speaker 4: And chewy coconut.
- 18:58Speaker 14: Sometimes I don't.
- 18:59Speaker 3: Sometimes I feel like a nut. Sometimes I don't.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Alien Worlds continues. Two hours after leaving Barnum 5, the
- 19:30Speaker 2: Marathon Alpha mysteriously drifts off course and becomes trapped in
- 19:35Speaker 2: the gravitational field of an alien planet whose surface is
- 19:39Speaker 2: obscured by white and blue clouds. Suddenly, an energy force
- 19:48Speaker 2: lashes out from the clouds and pulls the marathon alpha
- 19:52Speaker 2: down through the planet's misty red atmosphere a moment later
- 19:58Speaker 2: the shuttle crashes on the edge of a peaceful meadow
- 20:01Speaker 2: filled with strange blue flowers flowers that weep golden tears
- 20:07Speaker 2: as the sunlight touches.
- 20:08Speaker 11: Them Oh, buddy, it smells wonderful, like jasmine and lilacs.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 20:22Speaker 8: Not a scratch anywhere.
- 20:24Speaker 15: There aren't even any skid marks on the ground. It's
- 20:27Speaker 15: like some giant invisible hand just.
- 20:30Speaker 8: Buddy, look!
- 20:31Speaker 4: On the other side of the.
- 20:32Speaker 3: The river.
- 20:34Speaker 11: The Madonnas.
- 20:37Speaker 13: Hmm?
- 20:38Speaker 4: Buddy, what's happening to us? Everything we saw in the
- 20:41Speaker 4: crystal ball is coming true.
- 20:44Speaker 8: It can't be. Maybe it can. Come on, let's get
- 20:50Speaker 8: a closer look.
- 20:52Speaker 10: Hey, Ingrid, look at this outline in the knee of
- 21:03Speaker 10: the statue.
- 21:04Speaker 8: There's some kind of door here.
- 21:11Speaker 16: Madame Disha's crystal ball. The underground library. This must be
- 21:16Speaker 16: the entrance.
- 21:17Speaker 4: Let's go in.
- 21:18Speaker 8: Oh, I don't know, Ingrid. It looks pretty dark down there.
- 21:22Speaker 15: For all we know, there might be a giant spider
- 21:24Speaker 15: or something lurking around.
- 21:25Speaker 7: Oh, come on.
- 21:26Speaker 4: Where's your sense of adventure?
- 21:28Speaker 8: Well, all right. But you stay here until I make
- 21:32Speaker 8: sure it's safe.
- 21:33Speaker 6: Okay.
- 21:35Speaker 4: Be careful.
- 21:36Speaker 8: Don't worry about a thing, Ingrid. I've got something that
- 21:38Speaker 8: makes me invincible.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Your dauntless courage?
- 21:41Speaker 8: No, my trusty blaster. I'll be right back.
- 22:03Speaker 11: Buddy, what happened down there?
- 22:06Speaker 8: A ten-foot spider with hairy legs. I don't get it.
- 22:13Speaker 8: You mention a big hairy spider and there it is.
- 22:17Speaker 4: Is it dead?
- 22:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:19Speaker 4: I want to see it.
- 22:20Speaker 8: Ingrid.
- 22:21Speaker 4: I want to see it, buddy.
- 22:22Speaker 6: All right.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Ingrid.
- 22:33Speaker 11: Oh, buddy, it's horrible.
- 22:35Speaker 4: How could such a thing.
- 22:37Speaker 8: What happened? Where did it go?
- 22:40Speaker 3: The spider has returned to your imaginations.
- 22:46Speaker 8: Who's there?
- 22:47Speaker 3: Each Madonna represents a various aspect of knowledge.
- 22:52Speaker 4: The one who kneels.
- 22:53Speaker 3: Above us symbolizes knowledge through imagination.
- 22:58Speaker 4: I am Yana, her soul. Why can't we see you?
- 23:04Speaker 4: True knowledge has no form.
- 23:07Speaker 3: Imagination has neither shape nor physical substance. But you know that,
- 23:13Speaker 3: don't you?
- 23:14Speaker 4: Yes, I suppose I do.
- 23:17Speaker 11: But if I already knew the answer, why did I
- 23:20Speaker 11: ask the question?
- 23:22Speaker 3: Because those of us who devote our lives to knowledge
- 23:25Speaker 3: are always aware of how little we know. And because
- 23:29Speaker 3: of this awareness, we never stop learning. We never stop
- 23:34Speaker 3: asking questions.
- 23:37Speaker 8: What did you mean when you said the spider returned
- 23:39Speaker 8: to our imaginations?
- 23:41Speaker 3: The most negative aspect of imagination is its ability to
- 23:46Speaker 3: invent irrational fear. When you suggested that a great spider
- 23:51Speaker 3: might be present, you formed its image in your mind
- 23:55Speaker 3: and reacted with apprehension.
- 23:58Speaker 4: When you descended the stairs into.
- 24:00Speaker 3: This corridor, The spider appeared, but only as a projection
- 24:06Speaker 3: of your anxiety.
- 24:08Speaker 4: But I saw the spider too. What you saw was
- 24:11Speaker 4: based on.
- 24:12Speaker 3: The sounds you heard, Ingrid. You heard Buddy cry out.
- 24:17Speaker 3: You heard him fire his weapon and.
- 24:19Speaker 4: Describe what had happened.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Sounds.
- 24:24Speaker 4: Only sounds.
- 24:26Speaker 3: But then, sound has always been imagination's greatest stimulant.
- 24:33Speaker 8: Yana, how did we get here?
- 24:37Speaker 3: You arrive at a place by sincerely wanting to be
- 24:41Speaker 3: in that place. A metal ship can transport you, or
- 24:46Speaker 3: your imagination can transport you. In transporting yourself with your mind,
- 24:53Speaker 3: you discover that true knowledge is in the journey, not
- 24:57Speaker 3: the destination.
- 24:59Speaker 5: But what about the door that opened up there?
- 25:03Speaker 4: We couldn't have imagined that, because here we are.
- 25:06Speaker 3: Are you?
- 25:08Speaker 4: Where are you, Ingrid?
- 25:11Speaker 5: A place of knowledge through imagination, you said.
- 25:13Speaker 4: A metaphysical library.
- 25:16Speaker 3: That door has existed since the beginning.
- 25:19Speaker 4: Of time, Ingrid.
- 25:21Speaker 3: And it will always be there for anyone who wishes
- 25:24Speaker 3: to pass through it.
- 25:25Speaker 6: Oh, Ingrid.
- 25:29Speaker 7: Oh, Bobby.
- 25:31Speaker 8: Ingrid, what's wrong?
- 25:33Speaker 11: They don't know.
- 25:34Speaker 4: So many of them don't know. The door, it leads
- 25:38Speaker 4: to eternal summer.
- 25:40Speaker 8: Yana?
- 25:41Speaker 3: I have to leave you now, because this part of
- 25:44Speaker 3: the journey is ending. Love each other as much as
- 25:49Speaker 3: you love me.
- 25:50Speaker 8: Yana?
- 25:52Speaker 3: A river?
- 25:53Speaker 11: A river?
- 25:58Speaker 4: A singing silver river.
- 26:00Speaker 11: A valley filled with all the colors of autumn.
- 26:03Speaker 8: Birds, hundreds of golden birds drifting on the wind.
- 26:09Speaker 11: A sky, a lovely red sky filled with clouds, white
- 26:15Speaker 11: and blue clouds.
- 26:16Speaker 2: We sleep in ivory cradles where the singing river flows.
- 26:21Speaker 3: Yana!
- 26:23Speaker 4: It's a lost world of sense of our answers.
- 26:25Speaker 8: Yana?
- 26:26Speaker 7: Buddy, please don't let go of my hands.
- 26:38Speaker 3: Buddy?
- 26:39Speaker 6: Ingrid?
- 26:41Speaker 4: Can you hear me? Where are you?
- 26:44Speaker 8: Otto. Daphne.
- 26:47Speaker 7: How you doing, kiddo?
- 26:49Speaker 8: Ingrid, are you all right?
- 26:50Speaker 7: What happened?
- 26:52Speaker 4: How can we still be here? We crashed on Zanzibar Alpha.
- 26:57Speaker 8: We saw the Madonnas. We talked to Jana.
- 27:00Speaker 17: It happened in your minds. All of it. You and
- 27:04Speaker 17: Ingrid have just experienced the fourth ring of my circus.
- 27:07Speaker 4: The fourth ring?
- 27:08Speaker 6: Yes.
- 27:09Speaker 17: The magic light of Madame Disha's crystal ball. It gave
- 27:13Speaker 17: you what no three-ring circus ever can. An unprecedented journey
- 27:18Speaker 17: through your imagination with someone you care about very much.
- 27:22Speaker 4: But, Madonis, then the Ba'alpha. Where did those ideas come from?
- 27:28Speaker 9: I invented them at the beginning of the light trance
- 27:31Speaker 9: and passed them from my mind to yours.
- 27:35Speaker 8: And what about Yana? Was she an invention too?
- 27:38Speaker 6: Yana?
- 27:40Speaker 16: The Madonna spirit we met after Buddy shot the giant
- 27:44Speaker 16: spider that wasn't there.
- 27:46Speaker 9: Yana was someone or something you created between yourselves.
- 27:53Speaker 6: A body.
- 27:55Speaker 7: You can let go of our hands now if you
- 27:57Speaker 7: want to. The journey's over, honey.
- 28:02Speaker 8: I don't know, Daphne.
- 28:04Speaker 15: After what we've been through together, I think the journey's
- 28:07Speaker 15: just begun.
- 28:08Speaker 4: He's right, Daphne. We ain't seen nothing yet.
- 28:12Speaker 12: Oh!
