Beautiful, don't you think?
What?
The sunrise. That's what I'm gonna miss most. So, where's home, Dr. Stone? Ryan, where's home?
Home?
Mm-hm. Down there. Mother Earth. Where do you pitch your tent?
Lake Zurich.
Where the hell is that?
Illinois.
Illinois. Central Time Zone. That would make it roughly... 8PM. What are the good people of Lake Zurich doing at 8:00?
I don't know. I'm not going to make it, I'm slowing you down.
What would you be doing? Come on, Ryan. It's 8:00. You've just left the hospital after a 18-hour shift.
The radio. I listen to the radio.
There we go. Let me guess. NPR? Classical? Top forty?
Anything. I don't care, as long as they don't talk, I just drive.
And where are you driving to?
I just drive.
What do you miss down there? Is there a Mr. Stone?
No.
Nobody special? Somebody down there looking up? Thinking about you? Ryan?
I had a daughter.
[Kowalski switches off his music and watches Ryan in his wrist-mirror]
She was four. She was at school, playing tag. Slipped, hit her head, and that was it. Stupidest thing. I was driving when I got the call, so ever since then that's what I do. I wake up. I go to work. And I just drive.
