Doctor Arroway, you come to us with no evidence, no record, no artifacts. Only a story...

Something wrong with the clip?

Quote

Panel member: Doctor Arroway, you come to us with no evidence, no record, no artifacts. Only a story that to put it mildly strains credibility. Over half a trillion dollars was spent, dozens of lives were lost. Are you really going to sit there and tell us we should just take this all... on faith? [pause, Ellie looks at Palmer] Michael Kitz: Please answer the question, doctor. Ellie Arroway: Is it possible that it didn't happen? Yes. As a scientist, I must concede that, I must volunteer that. Michael Kitz: Wait a minute, let me get this straight. You admit that you have absolutely no physical evidence to back up your story. Ellie Arroway: Yes. Michael Kitz: You admit that you very well may have hallucinated this whole thing. Ellie Arroway: Yes. Michael Kitz: You admit that if you were in our position, you would respond with exactly the same degree of incredulity and skepticism! Ellie Arroway: Yes! Michael Kitz: [standing, angrily] Then why don't you simply withdraw your testimony, and concede that this "journey to the center of the galaxy," in fact, never took place! Ellie Arroway: Because I can't. I... had an experience... I can't prove it, I can't even explain it, but everything that I know as a human being, everything that I am tells me that it was real! I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever... A vision... of the universe, that tells us, undeniably, how tiny, and insignificant and how... rare, and precious we all are! A vision that tells us that we belong to something that is greater then ourselves, that we are *not*, that none of us are alone! I wish... I... could share that... I wish, that everyone, if only for one... moment, could feel... that awe, and humility, and hope. But... That continues to be my wish.

00:00:27.191 --> 00:00:28.733
...on faith?
00:00:32.738 --> 00:00:34.948
KITZ: Please answer the question, doctor.
00:00:38.869 --> 00:00:40.954
Is it possible that it didn't happen?
00:00:41.122 --> 00:00:42.288
Yes.
00:00:42.456 --> 00:00:44.999
[CROWD MURMURING]
00:00:45.167 --> 00:00:48.294
As a scientist I must concede that. I must volunteer that.
00:00:52.633 --> 00:00:54.551
KITZ: Wait a minute, let me get this straight.
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.596
You admit you have absolutely no physical evidence to back up your story?
00:00:58.931 --> 00:00:59.973
Yes.
00:01:00.141 --> 00:01:03.184
You admit that you very well may have hallucinated this whole thing?
00:01:03.352 --> 00:01:06.146
- Yes. - You admit that if you were in our position...
00:01:06.313 --> 00:01:10.003
...you would respond with exactly the same degree of incredulity and skepticism?
00:01:10.999 --> 00:01:11.999
Yes.
00:01:11.652 --> 00:01:14.999
Then why don't you simply withdraw your testimony and concede...
00:01:14.078 --> 00:01:19.999
...that this journey to the center of the galaxy in fact never took place?
00:01:22.955 --> 00:01:24.956
Because I can't.
00:01:25.124 --> 00:01:27.834
[CROWD MURMURING]
00:01:31.505 --> 00:01:35.175
I had an experience.
00:01:36.999 --> 00:01:39.429
I can't prove it. I can't even explain it.
00:01:39.999 --> 00:01:42.682
But everything that I know as a human being, everything I am...
00:01:42.999 --> 00:01:44.976
...tells me it was real.
00:01:47.001 --> 00:01:50.899
I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever.
00:01:51.003 --> 00:01:52.999
A vision...
00:01:52.777 --> 00:01:54.861
...of the universe...
00:01:55.996 --> 00:01:57.697
...that tells us undeniably...
00:01:57.999 --> 00:02:00.116
...how tiny and insignificant...
00:02:00.001 --> 00:02:03.995
...and how rare and precious we all are.
00:02:05.164 --> 00:02:07.999
A vision that tells us that we belong to something...
00:02:07.075 --> 00:02:13.999
...that is greater than ourselves, that we are not-- That none of us are alone.
00:02:18.992 --> 00:02:22.007
I wish I could share that.
00:02:24.999 --> 00:02:25.999
I wish...
00:02:27.001 --> 00:02:31.999
...that everyone, if even for one moment...
00:02:31.398 --> 00:02:37.999
...could feel that awe and humility and hope.
00:02:37.571 --> 00:02:39.572
But....
00:02:45.001 --> 00:02:48.987
That continues to be my wish.
00:03:29.999 --> 00:03:32.542
