Richard Libertini: Beach Man (segment "A Saucer of Loneliness")

Quotes 

• Margaret (segment "A Saucer of Loneliness") : You know who I am, don't you? You want to know what the saucer said.

  Beach Man (segment "A Saucer of Loneliness") : I already know that. 'There is, in certain living souls, a loneliness unspeakable, so great it must be shared as company is shared by lesser beings. Such a loneliness is mine. And know by this that an immensity is one lonelier than you.' And it's addressed: 'To the loneliest one'.

  Margaret (segment "A Saucer of Loneliness") : How did you know?

  Beach Man (segment "A Saucer of Loneliness") : That's what you put in the bottles, isn't it?

  Margaret (segment "A Saucer of Loneliness") : It was the only thing in my life I could call my own... the only thing I could give to anybody. I just couldn't take it anymore. I'd throw a bottle into the sea... and out went a part of my own loneliness.

  Beach Man (segment "A Saucer of Loneliness") : I found it. I found it. And it made a difference, it really did. When I read it, I knew somehow this was connected to the saucer. And when I read the words... it's like a song... I'm not explaining this right, I know.

  Margaret (segment "A Saucer of Loneliness") : On, no, it's fine. Your people thought the saucer was a ship or a weapon, but it wasn't. It was a bottle with a message inside. Only it had a much bigger ocean to cross... all of space. And without much chance of anybody finding it... but still someone sent it out.
