"Seemed everyone knew theirs already." "Not me." "I was lost." "I always felt like I saw things ..." "Differently." "Saw things other people didn't." "I never said anything." "I didn't wanna be different." "Who would?" "Jonas!" "I apologize, we're late, I got Asher to come say goodbye to teacher." "I accept your Apology." "Asher and Fiona;" "we've been friends our whole life." "Asher was the boy who made everyone laugh." "Fiona... well." "She was the girl who made everybody smile." "Who ever is listening:" "please, please!" "Do not make me vice chief or waste management." "Please" "We Lived in a world where differences were not allowed."

" Are you okay?" " Humm .." "Yeah, I'm fine." "So The old man turns to Elder and says, "Do You know who I am"?" "And the Elder says, "Sir, I know you're old, but that is not the excuse for being proudful."" "Then the old man says, "No, really, I am asking: who am I"?" "I dont get it ..."

" Only if the Elders says It's Okay." " They will." "Yeah ..." "Lily, give me a comfort object." "Come on, Lily;" "It's time for bed." " Look at this..." " Bye, baby!" "This is a mythical creature called "hippo."" "And it's incredibly fast, because Its has two, three, four, five legs!" "We had the same mark." "And it's very strong ..." "They almost did not have to see his to know." "I felt it." "Felt that one day Gabriel will be chosen too." "...hippo!" "Yeah...!" " That's the pain they all talked about?" " No ..." "Not even close." " Did you..." " It had a face!" " Wait, was that thing alive ...?" " Don't skip your head." " Did you notice anything about it?" " Yes:" "It hurt." "No, any quality."

"They created sameness." "If we were different, we could be envious ... angry, reasonful... consumed of hatred." "We need sameness." " Not You think?" " Oh, I completely agree!" "And still ... it's also... beautiful." "We always said that Elsewhere is so far-away." "But it wasn't." "It was right there." "Close enough to touch." "Jonas, have you fallen...?" " Do you need immediate help?" " No, I.." "I was just ..." "What's going on with you?" "Nothing's going on with me." "No you are right, it's totally normal to lie in the grass and stare at the sky." "No, I was just ..." "You are seeing something, aren't you?" "Can't you tell me?" "Give me your hands." "What do you see?" " Oh my goodness..." " You see it?" "Yes." "It's water." "Come on, concentrate." "Uhmm Hi!" "Jonas was just teaching me about his training." " As you can see, its "incredibly interesting"." " It can't be as great as mine." "Care to have your minds blow...?" " Whoa!" "Do You know how to fly those?" " Absolutely!" "Short off ..." "I'm learning." "When I'm flying, looking down at everything ..." " It's like I'm seeing things for the very first time." " You get to fly into elsewhere?" "Oh Yeah!" "Once, when I was looking at that myst ..." "Even they told us that there is nothing close to the edge," "I thought I saw a tree out there somewhere." "Don't get too excited, I've actually seen elsewhere." "Just mostly our farm rocks that kind of stuff." "What's weired about them?" "There is these two huge rocks leaning against each other making a kind of .." "Triangle." "Hey It's kind like our triangle!" " What's past their?" " Don't know." "I am not allow to fly past that." "So many secrets ..." "So what are your secrets?" "Oh ... nothing." "What do you mean, "Oh, nothing"?" "You are receiver of memory." "Maybe I can show you." " Ok." "Grab a tray." " What ...?" "Bring it over the solar panel, come on!" "Hey this might seem little funny, but you gotta trust me." "Ok." "Sit down on the tray." "Careful ..." " Whooa!" "You're not gonna ..." " What are you Scared?" "I'm scared of anything." "I was Just.." " It's against the rules, Jonas." " Since do you care about the rules?" "Actually I have auxiliary training." "I'll see you guys." "Look who grew up ..." "Lucky for you I haven't." "Okay ...?" "Now go!" "Put your heels down to slow it!" "I think your training might be a bit more fun than mine." "Please standby for a Community announcement." "Citizens are reminded that it is impolite to touch community members outside of your family unit." "Thank You." "He is punctual." "He is inquisitive." " How inquisitive?" " He's interested in his position." "Then why is he breaking the rules?" "He has been observed trying to share his training with his former classmate." "That always happens." "But It's an impossible experiment." "Even I tried to share of the memories back when I was in training." "If you remember ..." "So ... forget about it." "I dont tell you what to do in your position, so don't tell me." "I apologise, but ..." " Isn't that is happening now?" " Your apology is accepted, but ..." "You're being careless." "You are moving too fast, we both know what happened ten years ago with the girl." "That girl had a name." "You think I don't remember her name?" "I know I feel the loss." "The boy must hold in the pain." "Don't fail us again." "You want me to read all these?" "Uhh, What's this ...?" ""One day you should meet a boy who answers to the name of Jonas."" ""He should be the most powerful of all receivers"." " Wait, that says ...?" " Don't be gullible." ""Plan for sameness."" " Another trick?" " Actually, no." "It's some kind of .." "Map." "The triangle of Rocks!" "Hey that's real, my friend Asher actually saw it!" "Look at all this towers ..." "What are they for?" "How could your friend see the Triangle of Rocks?" "He is a pilot." "He told me, he saw it." "What's past that?" "Past the "outer edge; boundary of Memories"?" "A mistery." ""Boundary Memories"; that have they built so that the memories only stay within you and me?" " Let's move on." " Wait!" "That boundary is meant to keep the memories in." "So, if a receiver crosses it, is that means the memories get set free?" "Perhaps if You and I crossed it, everyone could feel those memories again." "So what am I seeing today?" "Nothing." "You are seeing nothing today." "We already covered "seeing beyond"." "There is also such a thing "hearing beyond"." "A table ...?" "All the food would slide to the floor." "Now don't judge me..." "I'm not very good." "Eventhough I had a very good teacher." "Music ..." "Well ... the music when I hit the right keys." "Just Like music, there's something else you can't see with your eyes." "Something lies deep inside you." "Something ..." "This morning injections take away." "I thought injections are for our health." "No, they remove something." "What?" "Emotions!" "You mean like feelings...?" "Feelings are just fleeded on the surface." "But emotions they are very deep ..." "Primal ... they linger and join us..." "You might not understand where you are or what's happening." "But dont think about what you are seeing." "Listen!" "Listen to what's calling from inside." "Antonio!" "What a beautiful wedding!" "Why would anyone want to get rid of this?" "Good question ..." " What are you doing ...?" " Take my hands!" "Ready?" "Are you ready for the fastpart?" "And turn" " Spin!" " What are you doing with her?" "Jonas says it's called dancing." "Please, standby for a transmission." " I aplolgige for my intrusion" " We accept your apology." " I just wanted to say Hello." " Hello." " I am Lily." " Yes, I know." "You are nine now, isn't that right?" "Lily, I think it's ... time for school." "Now we get going." "Hello, Jonas." " Hello." " How's your training?" "Injected." " Fine." " I'm concerned about the receiver." " Many years ago there was an incident." " What kind of incident?" "Living alone in a building at the edge can isolate a person." "I am concerned that the receiver ..." "is being reckless." "Are you being properly prepared?" " I think so." " You are focused?" "Perhaps you are spending too much time with friends from your childhood?" " I'm focused." " Jonas!" "What do you in the receiver, actually do?" " My rules say not allow to share." " She is the Chief-Elder." "Jonas she only wants to help." "You are right." "But you can't tell the receiver I told you." "You have my word." "We sit on chairs and don't talk all day long." "And when the time is up I came back here and in the morning do it all again." "I apologize, but I'm late." "Your apology is accepted." "Goodbye Mother." "Injected." "He is not usually like this." "I'm surprised you're not more worried about him." "Were he my responsibility..." "I would be." "We had been told that Chief-Elder knew everything." "Things no body else did." "But I had learned that knowing of what something is ..." "It's not the same as knowing how something feel." "You could be the very best, the last one at top of the mountain ..." "Gasping for air, having survived ... and be alone." "Be curious." "I got lost ... to good kind of lost!" "I saw sites and heard sounds, I had no words to describe." "Faces with flesh of all different colours" "I felt so alive ..." "This is forbidden?" "I did not know what to think, what to believe." ""Have faith", The Giver told me." "He said: "Faith, that was seeing beyond."" "He compared it to the wind:" "something felt but not seen." "Don't accept." "What is the truth just because it's coming from someone you respect." "I feel completely stupid, a weird feeling." " Fucking weird ..." " Thing goes in your hand." "Memories are not just about the past;" "they determine our future." "You can change things;" "you can make things better." "It was life.." "It just seemed more complete." "The more I experienced, the more I wanted." "Once there were other living beings." "But unlike us they knew who their mothers and fathers were." "They had joy ..." "And they had pain." "I can't prepare you for whats going to happen..." "No need to warn me every single time ..." "No, Jonas." "You do not understand:" "there are tremendous cruelty ..." "Giver!" "I'm not a kid anymore." "Show me." "That's $250,000 of ivory." "Come on." "Come on!" " Put in!" " Again, again." "No, stop!" "Stop!" "Stop..." "Hey!" "Hey, Gabe?" "Okay Gabe ..." "If I tell you a secret, do you promise not to tell anyone?" "I'll take that as a "yes."" "This comfort object ... is not a hippo." "It's an elephant;" "And once it was real." "And it was beautiful ..." "Citizens are reminded that sleep period commences in 15 minutes." "Thank You." "It was like a memory, but Fiona was there." "You had a dream." " A what?" " A "Dream"." "A combination of reality, fantasy, emotions and what you ate for dinner." "You've stopped taking your injections, haven't you?" "Emotion was so strong ..." "And at the wedding!" "Everyone all together laughing and dancing ..." "The old with the young, the bride and the groom, there was something there." "But different from what we have." "Yes ..." "We dont have that anymore." "What do you mean by that?" "I'm talking about what you feel for someone else." "And the mind can't explain it and you can't make it go away." " What is it?" " Love." "Its called "Love"." "Love ..." "Oh Hi!" "Hi!" "So what's new?" " What's new with you?" " What's ever new?" " Why are you being weired?" " I'm not." "I'm just ..." "Just ..." "Lad of the hippo game!" "Hold On!" "Father, Do you love me?" "Jonas." "Precision of language." "Please!" "What does "love" mean?" "I got him, Lily." "Jonas uses the word so unacquitted that it no longer has any application." "If you ask, "Do you enjoy me" ..." "The answer is certainly "Yes"." "Or Do Mother and I take proud in your acomplishment ..." "Of course we do." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "I think I finally do." "Hey!" "Heyyy.." "Gaaabe...!" "I love you, Gabriel..." "Giver!" "You were right, I asked my family about love and ... get down ... get down!" "Giver!" "They are in the trees!" "There are in the trees, Robbie!" "Get down!" "Robbie, get down!" "Robbie, get down!" "Robbie, get down!" "Stay down!" "I can't see them, man!" "They are in the trees!" " Stay down!" " I don't understand.." "Medic!" "Taking heavy fire" "In the trees!" "Robbie..." "Robbie!" "No ..." "Jonas..." "What ...?" " I'm sorry Jonas..." " How do people do that?" "I didn't mean you to receive that." "Not for years." "Don't.." "Don't let this turn you way." " I'm not strong enough." " Of course, not yet." "But Jonas ..." "This what we need to know, so we can advise!" "I can't ..." "I'm sorry, I can't .." " I just can't." " Jonas!" "Jonas!" "Jonas, Come back!" "Please!" "Come back inside, Let me explain it!" "When you see something like that ..." "there is no explanation." "Rosemary ..." "Promise me you come back tomorrow!" "Rosemary!" "Hey, Jonas!" "Come on." "You are.." "Just in time." "I did never wanna go back ..." "I didn't want the wisdom." "I didn't want the pain." "I wanted my childhood again." "Scrap Knees and ball games ..." "Back then we had played "war"." "But the war was real." "The Elders understood that." "They erased it from our world." "Maybe they were right." " Could you watch over Harry for me?" " Alright" "Hey, what's wrong?" " Nothing." " I know you." " You do, do you?" " Yes ..." "What do you think would happen if you skip the morning injection?" "If you skipped it?" "Then the sensors would blink and remind me that I forgot it." "No I don't mean if you forgot, I mean ..." "What do you think would happen if you chose not to be injected?" "Jonas, I thought something was wrong." "There is something wrong." "Everything is wrong." "I quit." "Fiona, I done being the receiver." " Tomorrow morning skip your injection." " What, "You quit" ...?" "Cut your finger and put a little blood on this apple." "No, you can't quit;" "If you quit your position, you get sent to elsewhere." "Leave in the morning, put the apple over the sensor;" "it will find your blood and thinks it's your hand." "Stop, you're scaring me." "Fiona, you need you to do this;" "I need you to feel what I know." "Jonas." "An apple wouldn't even work." "I've been doing it for months;" "since worked every single time." "Don't quit;" "You can't leave." "I don't think I can go back to that place." " You will, if you want me to do this." " Okay Fine." "But tomorrow, after work, meet me in the Triangle." "I wanted to share it with her." "Not all of it; the good things." "Was I wrong to want that?" "I thought about her now." "All the time." "Hello...?" "I have something to show you." "Come here!" "Who are you?" "Come over here and try this." " Me. ..?" " Me?" "Yeah, I wanna teach you." "You've come back." " Where did you learn that?" " From the memories you gave me." "And you can just play it?" "That's beautiful." "Who's that?" "This.... is Rosemary." "The previous Receiver." "She is the one that all talk about." "She no longer exists ..." "Except here." "And in my memories." "She was in training only two short months." "Watch how the fingers move ..." "Unlike you." "She wanted to experience ..." "Well, Everything!" "I've only give her pleasant beautiful memories." "She fought me ..." " Don't protect me!" " No!" "Don't show me a map and not give me all the memories." " I thought we're gonna help." " We will." " But must move slow." " Show it to me!" "You gave her war?" "I gave her the memory of a child." "A child taken from her mother." "I gave her loss ..." "Too soon!" "You're gonna get the hang of this." "The light went from her eyes ..." "Next morning, without telling me..." "She went to Chief-Elder and asked to be released." "So she was released." "And now lives in Elsewhere." "Yes, Receiver." "I'd like to see this morning's release." "Thank you for your instructions." "Okay..." "That's my father!" "This one is heavier." " More twins!" "Great!" " Watch!" "Oh Good..." "For a moment I thought that was exactly the same." " Here we go..." " Then we have a problem!" " Okay ..." " Thank you, Dinah." " Hey new..." " ...possessed stand" "Only one unit less." "Oh, I know it hurts, I know ..." "But you put into a vein, and the your arms are too tiny." "Almost there ..." "Done!" "It wasn't so bad, was it?" "That's death." " He doesn't know what he is doing." " "Doesn't know what he is doing" ...?" " He killed him!" " But he doesn't know what it means." "Just like you did;" "neither did Rosemary." "How can he not see the baby isn't moveing?" "Doesn't that tell him something is wrong?" "The young and the old are killed." "Your friend, Fiona, she will soon be trained to release as well." "That's a lie." "She would never do that." " If Fiona understood ..." " We are the Only one who understand it." "Then it's our fault." "You, me and all the receivers back and back and back and back." "There has to be a way to show them." "T give them memories so they can understand!" " Yes ..." " Because if you can't feel ..." " What's the point?" " But what can you do?" "Did it work?" "I don't know how long it takes for the injection to review, but there a day was long enough ..." "Why I do this, Jonas?" "On the walk here I was thinking of how was I scold you." "How I was say always, fine for you to break the rules, because you are chosen ..." "When I thought about telling you, I just I..." "I began to think about you." "Was this okay?" "Do you feel anything?" " It feels like ..." " Fiona." " What do you feel?" " I do not know, I dont ... have words to describe it." "Warm...?" "Does it feel warm?" " Warm ...?" " Does it feel nice?" "No, I'm on the night shift;" "I need to ..." "I don't feel right, Jonas." "I need to go and get my injection, I need to go to work." " What was that?" " Fiona, there is more." "So much more." "I remember it now." "I had dreamed of her." "When I was younger." "I told my parents ..." ""It was the sturning" they said." ""Everyone had them."" ""Medication would stop them."

" Where's Gabe?" "Uncertain was returned to the nuturing center." " What happened?" " He failed his test of maturity" "Again." "I couldn't ask for another extension, so I have to release into elsewhere." " Released him...?" " I certainly gave best try, didn't we?" " But he is family." " Precision of language, please!" "Sit down." "Eat with us." "I just need to rest for a while." "I hadn't been wrong; this was wrong." "They hadn't eliminated murder;" "they brought it home!" "They just called it by a different name." "Father; he didn't know any better." "I, did." "Jonas, what are you doing?" "It's against the rules to leave your Community this late." "Asher's ther is something I have to do;" "is right, but it's a bit against the rules." "If it's right thing to do ..." "How can it be against the rules?" "There are things that I've learned that you don't know, that you can't know;" "Not Because its your fault ..." " Jonas You need to go back to your family unit!" " But that's the point!" "It isn't my family!" "And neither is yours!" " Asher, I got to go." " Jonas listen!" "Get out of my way." " Jonas!" "Listen" " What are you ...?" "Giver!" "Giver!" "Wake up." " I have to be sleeping to wake up." " Something can be done." " Something can be done!" " What do you purposing?" "All the memories back and back and back and back can be returned." "I need to leave the Community;" "I need to find the boundary of memories." " And then?" " And then cross it!" " No more discussion." " Slowly ..." " Gabe is in danger." " Slowly." "I can't wait anymore!" "Something must be done!" "If you had that map, then why you didn't try to leave?" "I was waiting; for someone like you." "You're the reason we have a chance, so ..." "The plan will be for you to go and for me to stay." "If you did cross this boundary ..." "And if the memories are set free, all of the pain that you felt, all the ..." "Confusion, the chaos, it would all return!" " So you stay to help them?" " Yes." "And for my daughter." "That's what you would have wanted." " Your daughter...?" " Rosemary." "Now: your friend if he trully saw the Triangle of Rocks ..." "Bring up Jonas activity for the past year as well." " So Asher came directly to you?" " Yes." "What was Jonas's dispossetion at the evening meal?" "Dissatisfied." "Anixous." "Indignant." "Setup a communication with the receiver's memory." "We're not permitted to see into the receiver's residence." " We can only transmit." " Well then we shall only transmit." "If you go, head towards the triangle;" "away from the other communities." "That will lead to boundary of memories." "Please, Standby for a transmission." " I appologize for your intrusion." " I accept your appology." "We have a problem:" "receiver in training is missing," "And he physically attacked his friend, Asher." " He did?" "That's serious." " Do you know where Jonas is?" "I do not." "Well Thank you very much for ... helping us to narrow down the possibilities." " I'll contact you if he comes here." " Only if it not an impossetion." "Thank you." "He's lying..." " Talk!" " They are going to kill Gabe." "I'm leaving;" "I'm leaving tonight and I'm going to take him with me." "Jonas Not yet, you're not ready." "When they decided to kill Gabe, they decided I was ready." "I like this map; dont mess it up, I'll be wanting it back." "Do you mind if I accelerate do yuyour training a bit do you?" "You'd think that someone who is the keeper of emotions, that I'd be better ..." "Well ..." "I love you, Jonas." "There .." "There it is." "You have the courage ..." "Let me give you the strength." "Can I just ..." "Attention all community residents." "The Receiver in training has been reported missing from his dwelling." "Please be alert, he may be in danger." "Group 1 will start from the inside edge." "Then Group 2, from the center." "No, like this." "Welcome to the Nurturing Center." " Shall I convey the others?" " Yes." "Jonas!" "I heard an alert." "What's going on?" "Hey, Where's Gabe?" "Is he here?" " Is he in one of this?" " If he is back then, he be with youngesters in" " Restricted floor." " Show me where." "Fiona!" "Please." "They are down stairs, come on." "Jonas was chosen for the most important position in our community." "He was asked if he was strong enough." "It turned out he was not." "Instead, he's a rebel." "Who must be stopped." "By you." "When you find him ..." "Take him." " Gabe is in danger." " Jonas, he is fine, I'll show you." "No, he is not fine." "He should be here." " Fiona:" "I'm leaving, tonight." " "Leaving"?" " What do you mean?" " I'm taking Gabe." "We are Leaving the Community." "I want you to come with us." "I dont have the words to describe it." "Fiona there is more." "So much more." "What are they doing?" " Fiona, what do you feel?" " I don't have the words to describe it." "Attention Nurturers."

"Then he hit me;" "And, at first ..." "I can tell why you've been acting this way;" "your injections level is extremely low." "I can correct this." ""Friends forever" right ...?" "And then we will addressed what's happened." "When I went over the edge, we shouldn't have made it." "This was a miracal." "The Giver had talked about them." "He told me that I could draw strength from the memories." "I knew, by giving them to Gabe," "I could protect him." "Cut your finger and put a little blood on this apple." "When you leave in the morning, put the apple over the sensor." "I've been doing it for months;" "since worked every single time." "What has he taught you ...?" "A dwelling is not a "home"." "This the only way to make everything okay." "Gabe is in danger." "What they are gonna do him is really bad." "I want you to come with us." "When I get there, you'll understand." "I'll come back for you." "Yes ..." "Careful ..." "Careful." "I apologize ..." "For failing again." "I don't think you failed." "I think you suceeded." "With your plan ..." "Ever since the girl was released you haven't been the same." "I genuinely hoped Jonas would help you." "It would have fresh start, if you two have work together ..." "Which is seems you have."

" You have to be quiet now, Lily." "And hippo was really "an elephant"." "What I'm about to tell you, you must never repeat to anyone." " I don't belive Jonas is lost." " But the ceremony of Loss ..." "A charade" "I don't expect you to understand, but you must know that Jonas has become dangerous." "He must be stopped." "He must not get beyond the Triangle of Rocks." "What you want me to do?" "You know Jonas;" "I want you to find him." "And then ..." "I want you to lose him." "Power Depleted." "Jonas..." " What are you doing...?" " Asher please, let us go." "I can't." "I'm supposed to..." "To what?" "To loose you." "Asher ... if you're my friend ..." "If you were ever my friend ..." "can you please somehow trust me?" "Trust me now." "I do trust you, Jonas." "Come on please..." "Jonas...!" "You found him!" "I did." "For the good of all of us ..." "I beg you, to finish this." "It's finished." "Hey." "It's Okay ..." "Nothing the Giver had shown me, had prepared me for the voices in my head." "Screaming at me to stop." "But I knew that Fiona will be punished for helping me." "Asher, for letting me go." "The only way to help them, to keep them alive ..." "Was to get to the boundary." "If it even existed." "I strengthened Gabe with memories of having enough and knowing joy." "It was in memory of Fiona that kept me going." "Fiona?" "I have taken care of everything." "We've arranged for your release." "There will be a nice ceremony." "Now you get some rest." " I felt things." " What?" " I know that ther is something more." " Fiona ..." "Something missing from our lives." "No, not "missing"; something that has been stolen from me and from You." "I do not know what it is exactly." "But Jonas does." "I had felt things." "And they were warm ..." "And they were nice." "And they were beautiful." "I have felt things." "I have felt things!" "I have felt things ...!" "Where is the Tower, Gabe?" "The Tower should be here ..." "You can stop this ..." "Stop what?" "If you doot wanna see it, sit down with the other elders." "Or Close your eyes!" "Ceremony of release to elsewhere." "Hello, Fiona." "Are uncomfortable?" "I'm not uncomfortable, I'm afraid." "You don't have to be afraid." "You know me." "I'll be very gentle, I promise." "Okay ...?" "Her name was Rosemary." "She was my daughter." " I loved her..." " Precision of language." "I could not be more precise." "Do you know what that's like?" "To love someone?" "I do." "I cried." "I felt her sorrow ..." "I've sang, danced ..." "I felt real joy ..." "Then you should know better then anyone." "You have seen children starve ..." "Yes." "You have seen people stabbing on each other's neck ..." "Just for the view." "You know what it is peoples like when men blow each others up." "Yes" " Over a simple land, sand ..." " I do, I do." " But ..." " And yet ..." "And yet!" "You and Jonas want to open that door again." " Bring all that back." " If you only could see the possibilities ..." " But why?" " Of Love!" "With love comes faith, with comes hope ..." "Love is just passion that can turn." "It turns into contempt!" "And murder!" "We could choose better!" "People are weak." "People are selfish." "When people have freedom to choose ..." "They choose wrong." "Every single time." "That's a sledge ..." "Loss ... and pain ..." "Music, joy ..." "These raw, impossible, beautiful feeling of love." "Your son, he felt it." "That girl..." " She has felted." " That's enough." "We are living a life of shadows." "Of echoes, of fake distant whispers of what once made is real." "Excuse me for one second, Fiona." "We must continue." "I wish I would have been there when the memories returned." "They were the truth." "The elders and their rules was a lie." "So I do not apologize." "I knew Fiona was safe." "That I'd see her again." "And that I held the future there in my arms." "The Giver had led us here." "To this house ..." "It was real." "From far behind me, from the place I had left ..." "I thought I heard music too." "Perhaps it was only an echo." "But it was enough." "It will lead us all home."
