Man in the Wilderness Page #2

Repeat.

The Lord is my father in heaven.

Who made the world?

Answer, Bass!

Who made the world?

God, Bass!

God made the world.

Repeat!

God!

God!

God!

God!

God!

God made the world.

Kill him.

Put your backs in it.

The kingdom of heaven

is within you, as it is in all things.

The sea, the wind, the fields.

Have you never seen it?

Have you never felt it?

Sometimes I get the feeling

that you know some things

that nobody else knows.

I know you, sir.

There's not very much in that now.

It's not true.

It's everything.

Kingdom of heaven is within you,

as in all things.

In the sun.

In the sky.

Sea.

Have you never seen it?

Have you never felt it?

No. Never.

It's within you,

as it is within me now.

Your seed, it's... it's part of you.

It's God's gift.

Life... Feel it, Zach.

Isn't it a miracle?

- I don't feel a thing.

- Wait.

There.

It's your son.

Speak with him.

I think it's best I speak with you now,

'cause by the time you're born,

I won't be back.

I don't... I don't know very much.

But your mother knows, so you watch her.

Learn from her.

As for me, it's...

Well, it's best you imagine who I am.

Captain of some sailing ship.

A pirate, or some foreign king.

You've chosen to be born.

I don't know why

because it's hell here on Earth.

For that, I am truly sorry.

And that's about all.

Except, someday,

when someone points to you

and says there goes Zachary Bass' son,

I want you to think back

to our little chat.

And, remember, that though I wasn't here

when you both

might have needed me most,

I care for you, for both of you

more than any living thing on Earth.

Captain! Captain Henry!

It's Lowrie! Fogarty!

Captain! Captain Henry!

They're back! Hey, Captain!

It's Lowrie and Fogarty.

I can't say I missed you, Fogarty.

We've been hearing Indian sounds,

but we ain't spotted any.

Smarter to run

the other way, Fogarty.

Oh, all right. Let's hear it.

Well?

It was close, Captain.

Those Indians

was breathing down our necks.

It's the God's truth, Captain.

Got out of it? What happened?

- We left him.

- Left him?

- What do you mean, you left him?

- We couldn't help it, Captain.

One shot and them Indians

would have been all over us.

He just laid there.

Well, you'd have done the same thing!

I mean,

what's the sense getting your hide peeled,

to save a dying man?

Ought we to go back, Captain?

- I'm willing.

- Too late for that.

He's dead now.

I don't think he's dying, sir.

He was trying to talk.

I decide whether we stay or not.

And I say we go on.

Gentlemen, you'll learn

that man is expendable.

We're exploring new frontiers,

must always push on,

give our lives, if need be.

This is more than a trapping mission.
