0:08Hello.
0:10Is there anybody in there?
0:14Just nod if you can hear me.
0:18Is there anyone home?
0:22Come on, now.
0:25I hear you're feeling down.
0:29Well I can ease your pain,
0:33Get you on your feet again.
0:38Relax.
0:40I need some information first.
0:45Just the basic facts:
0:48Can you show me where it hurts?
0:53There is no pain, you are receding.
1:00A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
1:09You are only coming through in waves.
1:16Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
1:22When I was a child I had a fever.
1:30My hands felt just like two balloons.
1:38Now I got that feeling once again.
1:43I can't explain, you would not understand.
1:48This is not how I am.
1:54I have become comfortably numb.
2:46Ok.
2:49Just a little pinprick. <ping>
2:53There'll be no more --Aaaaaahhhhh!
2:57But you may feel a little sick.
3:01Can you stand up?
3:04I do believe it's working. Good.
3:08That'll keep you going for the show.
3:12Come on it's time to go.
3:17There is no pain, you are receding.
3:24A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
3:32You are only coming through in waves.
3:39Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
3:47When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
3:55Out of the corner of my eye.
4:02I turned to look but it was gone.
4:07I cannot put my finger on it now.
4:11The child is grown, the dream is gone.
4:17I have become comfortably numb.
