Nine Miles Down2009

Thomas 'Jack' Jackman:
You know, when I was a young boy... my mother told me that the sun was driven around the world in a chariot drawn by four horses and a wizard sprinkled the stars on the roof of the sky.

Jennie Christianson:
My mom told me the sun is one of a hundred billion in the galaxy, which is one of a hundred billion in the universe and that some starlight has traveled since before dinosaurs were on the earth... and in it's journey right here, right now. That's not a mystery, that's a fact.

Thomas 'Jack' Jackman:
Oh... don't you think that sounds a little clinical? Unemotional? I mean... the math takes away the poetry, sense of a hope.

Jennie Christianson:
Not for me, science only adds to the wonder of a sunset and everything else in the world. I don't see how it can take away.

Thomas 'Jack' Jackman:
What about love? Jealousy?

Jennie Christianson:
Phenylalanine.

Thomas 'Jack' Jackman:
Phenywhat?

Jennie Christianson:
A chemical the brain produces when you fall in love... and there's dopamine and norepinephrine.

Thomas 'Jack' Jackman:
So the greatest of all human emotions can be broken down to a... chemical compound.

Jennie Christianson:
The greatest music on earth can be reduced to notes on paper... but I can still be moves by it.
