Alien Code Page #7

---

I would stop you.

- Remove us from the equation.

- I can't.

ALIEN:
You would be

unable to see us.

Doesn't matter.

I would know

that you're there.

I would know that

you were watching.

The idea alone would change

your perception of reality,

and therefore

change your behavior.

Yes.

ALIEN:
Why would you behave

differently if there was

nothing you could do

to alter the situation?

- I just would.

- We find this curious.

We don't choose.

We don't decide what happens.

I didn't choose to be here.

I didn't choose to get sick.

Things happen

that we have no control of.

We don't just... We don't just

look at the world...

and paint it however we want.

If you really believe that,

then you believe

you are not in control,

and you exist

at the mercy of all else.

You believe your thoughts

are of no consequence.

If you returned to a time

with knowledge you now possess,

that you did not before...

what would it matter?

What would

our existence matter?

What would

our observations matter?

If time was reset...

and you were put back...

what difference

would it make?

[EXHALES]

ALEX:

Well, that's it.

So...

that's everything.

ALEX [ON COMPUTER]: I don't know

if this is all a test, or...

I do know it can't change.

But, you know, the world

could end tomorrow, but...

[CHUCKLES] F***. You know, what...?

What else is new, right?

It's all already happened.

Satellite's been found,

code's been cracked.

Message decrypted.

It was over before it began.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

[GROANS]

So maybe you...

You can't change...

how it ends, but...

Aah!

...you can change

how you get there.

And another thing:

Warn her.

Lie to her.

Spare her from the truth,

so that she can...

She can live in peace.

And then forget.

Forget this message.

Forget what's going to happen.

Forget what's...

What's already happened.

Just...

Just forget everything.

And live.
