PLATONIC
MULDER
We are lost, it's the same place we were hours ago ! We are bound to make circles and ramble ad infinitum.
And you, immortal Scully, could experiment the Great Platonic Year, 25772 of our years. Start all again in the same conditions.
"People are all but ignorant of the fact that time really is the wanderings of these bodies, bewilderingly numerous as they are and astonishingly variegated." Plato.
SCULLY
Start again the whole universe and its great mysteries ? Measuring time by celestial bodies in motion ?
Stick to Platonic solids, Mulder. Leave alone the dodecahedron, come down to our Earth cube. Measure time with our own tired bodies, and let's find a way to get the hell out of here.
I want to go home. When we are on the couch, we'll discuss endlessly of Platonic Idealism and its perfect Forms.
M&S
On the couch we reviewed the big mysteries of our lifetimes and relationship. Of course, we wanted to reach the sublime and perfect Truth, we seeked wisdom and knowledge, we fell in love with our beautiful souls.
But, we concluded that if we had to start all again, the couch, as it is now, should have more often witnessed our bodies, endlessly stucked at the bottom rung of Plato's ladder of Love.
