in the corner of the bag.
-Did you have a dog?
-You asked me that twice.
-What did you say?
-Yes.
-What did I say?
-It's wonderful.
Well, it is.
Mr. Miller, welcome. I'm Helen,
one of Mr. Diamond's assistants.
Come with me, please.
-Looks familiar, right?
-I was just thinking that.
It was designed to be as stress-free
for you folks as possible.
If we can do anything to make it
more like Earth, we have suggestion boxes.
We'd like your opinion.
If you want to make it more like Earth,
you should build some mini-malls.
It's funny you should say that.
Six just opened up outside of town.
I hear they're lovely.
I never go because I don't like yogurt
and I do my own nails.
Mr. Diamond will be with you shortly.
Daniel, Bob Diamond.
Come in.
How are you?
Sit down, my friend.
What's wrong?
You look good in that tupa.
Some people don't, but you do.
It's flattering to you.
So, is this what you thought it would be?
Thought what would be?
Where am l? Heaven?
No, it isn't heaven.
-Is it hell?
-No, it isn't hell either.
Actually, there is no hell. But I hear
Los Angeles is getting pretty close.
Daniel, let me tell you what's going on.
When you're born into this universe,
you're in it for a long time.
You have many different lifetimes.
After each one...
...there's an examining period,
which you're in now.
Every second of every lifetime
is recorded...
...and as each one ends,
we sort of look at it.
Look at a few of the days, examine it...
...and if everyone agrees,
you move forward.
-What do you mean "move forward"?
-Continue onward.
The point of the whole thing is
to keep getting smarter.
To keep growing...
...to use as much of your brain as possible.
I use 48 percent of my brain.
How much do you use?
I'm sorry?
I use 3 percent of my brain?
Don't worry. Everybody on Earth
uses 3 percent of their brain.
3 to 5 percent.
That's why they're there.
3? 3 percent?
No one on Earth uses more than that?
When you use more than 5 percent
you don't want to be on Earth.
Though your take-out places are lovely...
...there are more exciting destinations
for smarter people.
Being from Earth as you are,
and using as little of your brain as you do...
...your life is devoted to dealing with fear.
It has?
Everybody on Earth deals with fear.
What are "Little Brains"?
That's what we call you folks
behind your back.
Forgive me.
Who are you?
I'm just like you.
I was on Earth a long time ago.
But I advanced, I moved forward.
I got over my fears.
And I got smarter.
Did your friends' stomachs hurt?
-Everyone of them.
-It's fear.
Fear is like a giant fog.
