I'll stress that ignorance.

"Empirical Scene."

"We saw a grand piano fall off
a roof as if in slow motion,

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:24.540 align:middle line:84%
and hit the sidewalk
without a sound.

00:00:24.540 --> 00:00:28.620 align:middle line:84%
As we laughed at the
philosophical implications

00:00:28.620 --> 00:00:31.770 align:middle line:84%
and went down into
the subway where

00:00:31.770 --> 00:00:35.610 align:middle line:84%

00:00:35.610 --> 00:00:40.320 align:middle line:84%

performance in full volume.

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:48.270 align:middle line:84%
So at least we weren't deaf or
in an inconsistent universe.

00:00:48.270 --> 00:00:52.320 align:middle line:84%
It had been like the
beginning of a silent movie,

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.440 align:middle line:84%
but we didn't know
that we were in it,

00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:58.500 align:middle line:84%
so we never found
out what happened.

00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:02.090 align:middle line:84%
We who didn't hear
the grand piano."
