The speechwriter: My approach was a rather philosophical one. About being human year after year. This is how I see it. Life is time, and time is a stretch of road. That makes life a journey, a trip. Don't you think so?
Stefan: Yes. I guess you could look at it that way.
The speechwriter: Yet in order to travel you need a map and a compass. Otherwise you wouldn't know where you were. Would you?
Stefan: No.
The speechwriter: And our map and compass are our traditions. Our heritage, our history. Aren't they?
Stefan: Yeah, sure.
The speechwriter: If we don't understand this... Before we know it, we're fumbling around in the dark. Where are we?
