PG: Our time is different.

CC: Yeah, and everything is like that. I was looking at my cat the other day and wondering about the sense of time the cat must have, since it only lives maybe fifteen years or so.

PG: Or less, yeah.

CC: A day must be an incredible expanse of time.

PG: Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, sure.

CC: To us, it’s like ‘Ahh, the damn cat came in again, he just went out, why doesn’t he …?’ But to him it’s a whole sequence.

PG: That’s right. And to us, we can waste days, knowing that we have the span that we do have.

CC: Which is working against yourself, I think.

PG: I know, yeah.

CC: To lay back on that, and we do it all the time.

PG: That’s fascinating, yeah.

CC: Another thing, back a ways you were talking about how important those simple lines are. To me it seems like one of your really basic things is line. I mean, just drawing a line.

PG: I agree with you.
