limited resources

led to tensions

between clans.

Every moai

represents a whole family.

The reason the moai

looks towards the land

is to protect

the people spiritually.

Whenever you have conflicts--

Anything going on?

What?

You know, like,

with your friends.

What are you guys

fighting about?

and then they shifted

from ancestral worship to--

What do you mean?

even as the last few trees

were being cut down,

bigger and bigger Moai

were being constructed.

I'm not an idiot, okay?

I know you guys are mad

about something...

or at least Mom is.

No, no,

come on, we're not--

We're not fighting

about anything.

Everything's fine, really.

Yeah, hey, come on.

The lack

of all basic materials

Fostered centuries

of open conflict

between the clans.

As part of the...

I'm going over to Rob's.

What?

You're going out?

Do you want me

to leave the TV on?

Uh, yeah, sure.

By the 1800s and 1700s,

The population of easter island

had plummeted from 16,000

to less than 5,000

due to warfare.

# Whisper words

I long to hear, #

# a simple hello. #

# Tell me all

I need from you. #

# Whisper so I'll know. #

# Love is strange, #

# but stranger still

is how I need you so. #

# Whisper dreams-- #

on August 16, 1960,

Joe Kittinger did something

no man had done before.

As a part of a U.S. Air Force

sponsored experiment,

he rode a helium balloon

up 102,800 feet into the air.

The atmosphere

became thinner and thinner

outside his protective suit,

and the sky turned black

as he rode up to the end

of the earth's atmosphere.

He stepped up onto the edge

of the carriage

in which he was riding.

He looked out on the earth

so far below him,

and then he jumped.

# Scissors cut

the faithless wish #

# from heart-spent sorrow. #

# Kissing out

this one last scene #

# to kill off tomorrow. #

# When I die,

I'm dying cool. #

# I'm leaving

with some gold. #

# So whisper dreams

I'll dream with you. #

# Whisper so I'll know. #

# Write another chapter, #

# lose another soul. #

# Whisper so I'll know. #

# Whisper so I'll know. #

# Whisper so I'll know. #

# I know it's true. #

# Whisper, "I ain't lonely." #

# Oh, whisper,

"I ain't lonely." #

# Whisper, "I ain't lonely." #

All right, you,

give me the money.

The money.

Come on, hurry up.

Come on, give me the money.

Come on.

Hurry up!

Get on the ground.

Get on the ground.

All right,

give me your wallet.

What?

Your wallet,

give it to me.

What, are you deaf?

No.

Then hand it over.

No.

Hi.

I'm picking up

Gary's stuff.

Do you remember me?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For the way I was,

picking on you

and making fun of you and...

I'm sorry I acted like that.

Yeah.

A few things

I could have done differently.

It was a long time ago.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay...

Good to see you--

seeing you, you know?

Can I ask you something?

What's he like?

I mean, like...

What kind of person

was he before he got married?

Like, back in high school

when you knew him,

'cause, um...

Uh...

I can't imagine him,

you know, like,

without my mom.

He didn't judge people.

And he was, um--

he was--he was smart.

Smart, real smart,

but he didn't, you know,

show off about it.

He was just

a really pleasant person

to be around.

He was a good friend too.

It's been our top seller

ever since a consumer reports

article ranked it

as one of the safest

on the roads.

I just bought one

for my own daughter.

You have a daughter?

Yeah, just turned 17.

I figure if they're gonna be

on the roads,

they might as well be

in something safe, you know?

I see all these parents

buying their kids sports cars

and whatnot and I'm thinking,

"you know, you're just

encouraging them to drive fast."

But you, you got yourself

a great car here.

If I bought one

for my own daughter,

you know it's reliable.

Thank you

for putting it all together.

Any problems, any concerns,

you just give me a call.

You have my number.

Enjoy.

Okay.

Hello.

Gosh.

You scared me.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know

anyone was here.

Sorry.

I start next week

in the mail room,

but they said I could go ahead

and get familiar with the place,

you know,

start learning the names

of everyone who works here.

I hate spending

the holidays alone,

so I figure this would take

my mind off it.

Do you think

I could move in more stuff

over the weekend?

No, it's locked.

But I could let you in.

Really?

That would be great.

How do I get ahold of you?

I'm Patty.

Bill.

# To a man going up suddenly #

# whose life is touched #

# by a ray of happiness. #

# Can you guess? #

# There's no way out

but to climb halfway in. #

I'm Bill.

# The other half

is left to rot in the sun. #

# I am true... #

Bill.

# as I am born in you. #

# And you are all alone. #

# Yes, we are more than now. #

# We are more than now. #

# We are more than now. #

Hello.

# A sky of blue follows you. #

# A sky of blue follows me. #

# A sky of blue follows you. #

# A sky of blue follows me. #
