Oh, people of all the world, I am a boy who asks you to hear me and to understand. I only wanted to work out my way.... I planned my way because I couldn't help it—I wanted to build my own world—alone.... I climbed clear to the top—Jonathan stands before you—
VOICES
Jonathan's dead.
JONATHAN

[He falls.
