This man is at the door of hell [00:00:13]

Somehow it seems to be his destination [00:00:15]

After a life of subtle stubbornness [00:00:18]

He doesn't expect to find himself waking up out of a dream [00:00:22]

He doesn't expect to pinch himself [00:00:26]

And wake up and that kind of thing [00:00:28]

In fact the thought of that happening makes him smile [00:00:30]

He's just mildly surprised to find himself there at the door of hell [00:00:34]

To all accounts the kindly old man who is the doorman [00:00:44]

(And who conceivably reminds him of his father) [00:00:49]

Is sat reading a book but he gets up smartly [00:00:52]

And without time for either of them [00:00:55]

To feel that they're standing on ceremony [00:00:58]

Says hold my book for a minute [00:01:01]

Would you while I get the door open [00:01:04]

Presumably you know you need two hands to open the door [00:01:07]

For some reason the old man doesn't [00:01:13]

Just put his book down on the chair [00:01:17]

It all happens quite quickly he finds that he's made a decision [00:01:22]

And is already holding the old man's book [00:01:26]

As just about anybody else would have but it seems a bit curious [00:01:29]

Because in however small a way you like to consider it [00:01:33]

It is as if he's helping himself enter hell the path of least resistance [00:01:38]

Of course at the same time he suddenly thinks [00:01:45]

Even as he finally grips the book This is my chance for a reprieve [00:01:48]

The final test the straw which will tip [00:01:54]

The good deeds over the bad [00:01:56]

Next thing he knows they have exchanged opinions on the book [00:02:02]

And he has handed it back to the old man [00:02:05]

And is being shown into hell [00:02:08]
