The universe & the start of the world

Piano Man: You can see the whole world from here.

Brother: He means the universe.

Piano Man: No, I mean the world. You can see the whole world from here.

Texas Love: I dig it. The world.

Bookworm: Didn’t I tell you the driveway is the best place to see the sky?

Piano Man: I can’t believe you have this view every night.

Bookworm: I’ve been taking it for granted.

Brother: We all do. But the view is almost perfect. Except for this big-ass building blocking Cassiopeia.

Bookworm: I used to live there. All my life until I was fourteen.

Texas Love: It seems like a nice place.

Bookworm: I used to climb up to the roof and watch the sky with my friends. They’d throw rocks at my window -- that window right there -- to get my attention.

Piano Man: I didn’t know people really did that. That’s awesome.

Bookworm: I took it for granted.

Brother: All those stars up there. Most of them are already dead, we just can’t see it yet.

Piano Man: Light years and red giants and shit. It makes me feel so insignificant. I fucking love it.

Texas Love: It’s all so beautiful, and it probably doesn’t even exist anymore. What does that say about us? Right now, admiring something from a distance that might not even be there.

Brother: We’re human. We’ll always see what we want to.

Bookworm: It's all rooted in astronomy. We’re in a world created by the stars, but they could've died before we were even conceived. I can’t tell if that’s morbid.

Texas Love: It’s just how it is. It’s life.

Piano Man: And it’s fucking great.

Brother: And it’ll always make me think of this, right here, right now.

Bookworm: I take it for granted.
