[English]

- Where's the director?

- Who's the director?

- He's the greatest artist of his generation, apparently.

- Maybe, but he's late.

- Look!

- Gentlemen!

Why are we here?

We're here in the name of art.

We're here to commit ourselves

to a higher form of expression.

Apple.

I've seen your work.

Today, we're gonna take it to a new level.

We've come to the most barren place on Earth to create.

Today, we bring life to the desert.

Any questions?

No questions!

You, are love.

Light.

Power.

Danger.

Mystery.

First, you have to destroy your inhibitions.

You first destroy, then you create.

Balls.
