00:15:47.370 --> 00:15:48.789

00:16:01.169 --> 00:16:05.789
This<00:16:01.450><c> concept</c><00:16:01.870><c> of</c><00:16:02.129><c> eternity,</c><00:16:02.769><c> this</c><00:16:02.909><c> travesty</c><00:16:03.450><c> of</c><00:16:03.629><c> the</c><00:16:03.889><c> shortness</c><00:16:04.330><c> of</c><00:16:04.529><c> our</c><00:16:04.789><c> days.</c>

00:16:08.110 --> 00:16:12.029
And<00:16:08.210><c> then</c><00:16:08.330><c> he</c><00:16:08.450><c> says,</c><00:16:09.090><c> and</c><00:16:09.149><c> so</c><00:16:09.350><c> that</c><00:16:09.610><c> man</c><00:16:09.970><c> cannot</c><00:16:10.389><c> find</c><00:16:10.990><c> out</c><00:16:11.470><c> the</c>
