00:02 Chapter six, the empty book.
00:05 - Merry Christmas.
00:09 - Thank you, Merry Christmas.
00:11 - Best meal I've ever had.
00:13 - You know, this guy's like a photograph
00:29 from a billion years ago.
00:30 Just a small movie they're showing up there.
00:35 Lots of those stars have switched off by now.
00:41 We're just seeing the rerun.
00:45 Almost forgot.
00:50 (gentle music)
00:52 This is for you.
01:01 You don't have to say anything.
01:13 I know you overcome with gratitude.
01:15 (gentle music)
01:17 - What kind of book is this?
01:22 It doesn't say nothing.
01:24 - Close your eyes.
01:25 Every word is part of a picture.
01:33 Every sentence is a picture.
01:40 All you do is let your imagination connect them together.
01:45 If you have an imagination, that is.

02:53 - He went in his sleep.
03:18 (gentle music)
03:20 - What's supposed to happen?
03:23 (gentle music)
03:26 - You're supposed to give him a new body!
03:31 Stop, you idiot!
03:32 No, he's supposed to get a new body, a big body!
03:36 No!
03:37 He was tested, measured, he told me,
03:40 he told me he'd be the first.
03:40 - I know, I know.
03:42 Listen to me.
03:42 Listen to me.
03:45 Kevin knew he wasn't gonna live very long.
03:47 He knew it was just a matter of time.
03:49 You see, what happened was his heart
03:54 just got too big for his body.
03:56 - Okay.
03:58 (Kevin sobbing)
04:00 Okay.
04:01 It's okay.
04:03 It's okay.
04:05 - Please go home.

05:25 - Can I help you, son?
05:53 (thudding)
05:55 There's a place I go in my head sometimes.
06:10 It's cool and dim in there, and you float like a cloud.
06:15 Now, you are a cloud.
06:23 The kind you see in the sky on a windy day.
06:26 You don't have to think about anything.
06:28 You're nothing.
06:30 You're nobody.
06:31 I stayed in the Down Under for days and days,
06:42 and kept the door closed,
06:43 which is why I missed the funeral
06:46 and Kevin's mom moving away.
06:48 (gentle music)
06:51 Grim threatened to unscrew my door, but he never did.
06:56 He just kept saying I should come out for Gram's sake,
07:00 and sometimes she'd come down
07:03 and say I should come out for Grim's sake.
07:05 Last chapter, What Loretta Said.
