& Leonardo: Meet my friend. This is Isaac-Newton Midgeley.
& Zak: How are you?
Marie: Greeting or serious question?
& Strauss: Everybody can play something. Everybody. All you need is heart, soul, and a little imagination. You have those?
& Mrs. Fortune: So, Zak, how have you been since you left school?
Zak: A serious question, or polite conversation?
& Mr. Fortune: If the world is a maze, this is the map. Do you realize what you’ve done?.. I mean, this could be the most important discovery of all time!.. It levels the playing field. I mean, think what would happen if everybody uses it— No lucky, no unlucky, true balance in the universe for the first time. An end to war. Justice for all. Have you got a patent?
& Mr. Fortune: If we believe you, then you are just a fool who got lucky. If we don’t you are a lying genius. I’m sure you’ll appreciate the irony.
& Bridges: Is it special music?
Strauss: Well, kind of. It’s Mozart. Listen, gentlemen... and ladies. When Mozart plays, we are all the same frequency.
& Strauss: A brief history lesson. A secret history. There was never any magic, only just The Book being lost and found, being written, being rewritten, being burned, being used to control the masses. And then... came the music. We knew from early on that music held some power, some power to free us. You’ve heard of the Pied Piper, I have no doubt. Composer— literally «To Come». The first composers weren’t writing simply to entertain. They were writing to give us control of our minds back. With each new piece, the book was weakened, until... Mozart.
Zak: 1760...
Strauss: His first composition, the first piece that truly immunized us against The Book. Since then, there’ve been many. When you recognize a melody you’ve never heard before, that’ll be one, tapping into our collective subconscious. Most complex music just interferes enough with the book to make it unreliable and, so, useless.
& Strauss: The masses didn’t take too kindly to being reminded they are just mechanisms— Complex, certainly... but mechanisms with buttons to push, nonetheless. Music— it’s the reset button.
Bridges: Where is that, precisely?
Strauss: The soul.
Bridges: And what happens when the music stops?
Strauss: Oh, it can never stop.
& Theo: So, why don’t we tell them?
Strauss: Because the masses prefer not to be self-aware, which by choice, puts them on a level with all their cousins in the animal kingdom.
& Doctor: Zak, this is a course of Mozart and Brahms. Marie, Pachelbel, once daily.
& Theo: ...I will know the true pattern. You ask me what good that will do. I tell you, «Knowledge is useless if you only know parts— There can be no truth. Everyone else will know only pieces. Only I will know... everything.» You ask me if I don’t miss surprises. I tell you that although I might get the score, there is still the joy in watching the performance.
& Zak: It means that whatever gave us our minute wasn’t love... It was fate. It means I’m just here to serve a purpose for you. It means everything’s already decided. There’s no freedom, no responsibility, and knowledge absolutely does not determine destiny.
Marie: Yes. Does it matter?
Zak: No. Not to me.
Marie: Me neither.
