  Ben : When I close my eyes at night, there is only darkness. When I open my eyes in the morning, there is only this. Our world is not powered by oil, or money, or dreams, or God. Our world is run on trust. We see the universe as a machine. Everything in the right place. Gears forever rotating. Our world eternal. Fixed. Like the sun. Trains and people and clocks will be on time. Time marches forward, never backwards, never standing still. The son buries the father, grows old and his son will bury him. The past written in books, the books that have survived. This is the truth. It's made us the kings. We trust that our memories are real, that our pictures pick a thousand words and what they say will be the truth.

• Ben : What if darkness is the reality? What if there is no love because there are no insides to show?

• Ben : What if all the graves are empty? What if the dead come back? What if one woman is the same as any other woman? What if one man was all men?

• Ben : What if I don't Dream because this is the Dream?
