00:00:00.930 --> 00:00:04.380 align:middle line:90%
"Let's Say."

00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:09.090 align:middle line:84%
"Let's say the dark one night
is no metaphor for the dark,

00:00:09.090 --> 00:00:12.180 align:middle line:84%
and men in sharkskin
suits are real men,

00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:17.220 align:middle line:84%
and all their women, real
women, dressed to kill.

00:00:17.220 --> 00:00:19.320 align:middle line:84%
Let's say your
small car is parked

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.750 align:middle line:84%
in the unmetaphorical
dark, and you're

00:00:21.750 --> 00:00:24.930 align:middle line:84%
aware of characters who
suddenly distinguish themselves

00:00:24.930 --> 00:00:28.920 align:middle line:84%
from lampposts,
and you're afraid.

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:31.290 align:middle line:84%
But let's say you can
confront your fear

00:00:31.290 --> 00:00:35.190 align:middle line:84%
as a sleepwalker confronts
stares with an ignorance

00:00:35.190 --> 00:00:38.580 align:middle line:90%
graced by years of practice.

00:00:38.580 --> 00:00:41.190 align:middle line:84%
Let's say then, you
make it to your car,

00:00:41.190 --> 00:00:43.740 align:middle line:84%
choosing to believe that
the switchblade which

00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:47.610 align:middle line:84%
might have opened a second ago,
was the man in the sharkskin

00:00:47.610 --> 00:00:51.720 align:middle line:84%
suit clicking his tongue
against the roof of his mouth.

00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:54.300 align:middle line:84%
And the hand that reached
from the back seat

00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:57.450 align:middle line:84%
to cover your mouth
was nothing but a flash

00:00:57.450 --> 00:01:00.840 align:middle line:90%
from a movie you saw last week.

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.920 align:middle line:84%
Let's say you believe all this
because you're in your car now,

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.730 align:middle line:84%
and none of your blood is
making roses on the floor,

00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:12.360 align:middle line:84%
and your headlights have
come on in this real dark,

00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:15.420 align:middle line:84%
and you can see
where you're going.

00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:19.170 align:middle line:84%
Let's say you have learned
to survive is just part

00:01:19.170 --> 00:01:21.670 align:middle line:90%
of what it means to be alive.

00:01:21.670 --> 00:01:25.850 align:middle line:84%
What do you do next on
the terrifying streets?"
