AND THEN I GOT CURIOUS,

YOU KNOW, SO I CALLED.

AND MOSTLY I THOUGH I WAS JUST GONNA GET,

YOU KNOW, SOME ANSWERS

AS TO WHAT WAS GOING ON.

AND I GUESS, YOU KNOW, PART OF

YOU ALWAYS HOPES THAT MAYBE

THERE'S SOMETHING

YOU COULD ACTUALLY DO.

[MAN]

HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR CALLING.

[DAN] AND I LITERALLY KEP EXPECTING THE GUY TO TELL ME

THAT I WAS "NOW ENTERING THE

TWILIGHT ZONE."

[JANE] WHY? WHAT m0 HE ASK YOU?

SOMETHING-- SOMETHING STRANGE?

[MAN] VVHAT VVAS YOUR

EARLIEST DISAPPOINTMENT?

NO, I MEAN, NOT REALLY, YOU KNOVV,

ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

THERE WERE MOSTLY, LIKE,

PERSONAL QUESTIONS.

YOU KNOW, LIKE,

THE KIND OF THING,

IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO,

YOU KNOW, LIE ABOUT.

[MAN] WHAT SINGLE FACTOR HAS

MOST SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTED

TO YOUR ASPIRATIONS?

[DAN] AT THE TIME I THOUGHT THERE

VVAS SOME SORT OF, YOU KNQVV,

LIKE A COMPLEX:

MATRIX TO SORT OF

ASSESS MY SUITABILITY

BUT, I DON'T KNOW.

[MAN] ARE You FAMILIAR

WITH THE TROMSQ TILES?

YEAH, I MEAN, IT'S HARD NO TO BE. I DO LIVE IN A CITY.

[DAN] BUT, I MEAN, THEY'RE

POPPING UP EVERYVVHERE.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT JUS IN MAJOR US CITIES ANYMORE.

THERE'S ONE

IN VANCOUVER. RIGHT?

AND I HEARD A GUY SAY

THERE'S ONE IN PANAMA.

CUBA, THEY GOT ONE.

YOU KNOW?

SO WE ALL SEEN THEM,

WE WONDER THAT THEY MEANT.

I DON'T KNOW,

THAT'S WHY I'M OUT HERE.

[MAN] I'M NOT AT LIBERTY To

mscuss ANY SPECIFICS VIS-A-VIS,

LARGER GOALS... I CAN DIVULGE

THAT I REPRESENT AN ORGANIZATION

FOR WHOM THE TILES ARE

AN IMPORTANT PROJECT.

VVE'RE CURRENTLY AIDING IN THE RECRUITMEN OF NEVV MEMBERS FOR THE GROUND TEAM.

LOOK, I CAN TELL YOU THINK I

KNOVV SOMETHING ABOUT THE TILES.

BUT, UH...

IF THERE'S SOME

EXPLANATORY BROCHURE,

MY COPY HASN' ARRIVED YET.

I DON'T KNOW ANY MORE

THAN YOU DO.

YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

BUT I MEAN, THERE HAS TO BE SOME

TYPE OF A MEANING TO THE MESSAGE.

YOU KNOVV, IN THE FIRST PART-- OKAY,

BREAK DOVVN THE FIRST PART FOR A SECOND,

RIGHT, THE FIRS PART IS A RIDDLE.

AND I REMEMBER FROM LOOKING

AT THE TILE IN CHICAGO,

IT SAID, "WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN A LIFE'S...

...TIMECARD

AND A CHILD-ESTIMATED FEAR?"

THAT'S IT SO THERE HAS

TO BE SOME SORT OF AN ANSWER.

OH, HERE'S AN ANSWER.

I WORKED IT OUT.

UH... THE TWO PHRASES,

"A CHILD-ESTIMATED FEAR"

AND "LIFE'S TIMECARD"

HAVE ALL THE SAME LETTERS

EXCEPT THE FIRS ONE CONTAINS FIVE MORE.

IIE'II IIAII'

A IIT'II IIHII A llD-ll

SO THE ANSWER IS

"D-E-A-T... AND H."

[MUSIC PLAYING]

SO, THE TOP LAYER...

IS BLACK AND WHITE LINOLEUM.

AND BELOW THAT IS A COMBINATION

OF PLAIN LINOLEUM

AND THIS CRACK-FILLING STUFF

THEY USE FOR PAVEMENT.

YEAH, THE ADHESIVE IS REALLY JUS THERE FOR FIRST FEVV DAYS, THOUGH.
