- Enlightenment?

- Enlightenment, yes. Enlightenment.

Sorry. Hold that a second.

I'm so sorry.

Play it four times and it stops.

That is bad.

Oh, the Blue Pearl.

The Blue Pearl is so blue.

The Blue Pearl is so shiny

and so pearly.

"Three things will not long be hidden.

"The sun, the moon,

"and the truth."

ls there a reason for your visit today,

Jack McCall?

Well, sir, I am not one to waste time.

I understand you've written a book.

That is true.

Well, I'm an agent.

And all my career

I've dreamed that I'd get to represent

someone who I believed in.

I believe in you.

And I think

I can help you to change the world.

I'm not interested.

Really?

Dr. Sinja? Dr. Sinja, the world

is filled with lost,

lonely souls in need of your wisdom.

And they're out there calling out to you

in quiet desperation.

I hear them, I feel them.

Aren't you amazed by trees?

Yeah, sure!

I love trees!

Trees, I love them. I love trees.

The branches and the leaves.

It's just...

You know,

some people want fame and money.

Just give me some nature,

some branches and some trees.

I love it.

In fact,

I have such an affinity towards trees

I think I might even

have been a bird in another life.

Just...

Landing on a branch. Taking it all in.

I want to be a bird. I want to be a bird

and I want to swallow your philosophy.

And then I'm gonna spit it back

into the mouths

of the children of the world.

Nourish their souls. Help you to grow,

watch your wings spread,

and help you to soar.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about

presenting your book to the world.

Have you read it?

Of course I have.

So what's in it for you?

Just the satisfaction of knowing

that I helped my hero to save the world.

And 10%, of course.

Sh*t!

The tree gave me a splinter!

The Bodhi tree did nothing.

It did not move.

We all create our own destiny, Jack.

Dr. Sinja, if you commit to me,

I'll give you all that I am.

Mind, body and spirit. Everything.

Let me be a big bird.

Hawk!

Or sparrow.

Pick a bird, I'm it.

You agree to have my book published?

I'm begging you for it!

And you will spread my philosophy

in the way I meant it to be spread?

That goes without saying.

You have my word, sir.

Remember, our words have a profound

rippling effect on the entire universe.

Well, I'm counting on that.

- Jack McCall's office.

- Aaron!

I want you to run out

and buy me a throne,

and a scepter and a crown,

because I am the king!

Oh, my God, Mr. McCall.

You signed him, didn't you?

You bet your ass I signed him.

Never doubt me! Never doubt me!

How about that?

Hey, I want you to clear

my schedule for the rest of the day.

I want to go spend some time
