Ralph continues to

keep Hunter alive

and Hunter

keeps Ralph alive.

- You know, the two together.

- Mmm-hmm. Yeah.

There's

the sunshine coming in.

Right.

It's coming through?

Mmm-hmm.

Testing, testing.

One, two, three, four.

So, Ralph,

how you doing?

Uh, I don't know.

I'm feeling a bit down,

I think, really, somehow.

Yeah.

Uh, apprehensive, anxious.

And I just don't know what...

It's partly to do with

getting older, you know.

You don't know how...

How long it goes on.

And, I don't know, I woke up

in the middle of the night

and needed

to go to the loo

and felt...

I don't know, I think I

felt slightly meaningless.

That's the problem,

I find,

that things are a little bit

on the meaningless side.

And why was I ever bothered

to do anything about it?

Sure.

Why did I ever try

to change the world?

But it was, uh...

It was something to do, you

know, change the world.

I left Ralph's

with my mind reeling from

the sheer volume of

a lifetime's ideas and images,

uplifted and inspired by an artist's

efforts to change the world.

Look, you

know, you've come here

asking me this and asking me

that, asking me everything else.

And as I go through things,

I suddenly realize

I've done

too much in my life.

Really, what was

the point of all that?

There is no need

to do any more

and yet I probably

may do some more,

and I don't really

think it's a good idea

because you become a polluter,

you know, a visual polluter.

How about that?

And I still haven't

proved that I'm an artist.

Somehow I'm a cartoonist

to some, and that's...

The cartoonist.

It's amazing to see an artist

as they jump into the unknown,

commit to the impossible.

Make no mistake, Ralph.

You are an inspiration.

For no good reason.

Is that all right?

Perfect, yes.
