[Belloq grins broadly.] Like Le Voyage dans la Lune! You know, that was the first cinema film ever saw, back when I was a little boy and my father took the family on a holiday to Paris. It seemed so miraculous at the time, the moving pictures. But even seeing that new technology at work, a trip to the moon seemed an impossible fantasy. Amazing that in your time, mankind has actually done it.

I can't imagine what it must be like, to crack open the heavens like that and walk where, in the stories, only gods could live.
Perhaps someday you can take a ship from this place and fly out into the stars.
