time.
What's this?
What's happening?
My old flock. I don't love them.
Don't you, Jonathan?
Well, I always did want to give them
what I'd learned about flying,
if that's what you mean by love,
but I never found the way.
When the time is right
for you to give to them,
nothing can keep it from happening.
When it's wrong,
nothing can make it be.
I can't see how that can ever happen.
Don't worry about it.
Try it, once more now.
Think love and being in the place
that's right for you to be now.
Hello, Maureen.
Hello, Jonathan.
The time's come for me to leave you.
There are others I must help.
And there is more for me to learn.
You can't leave now. l've only begun.
Jonathan Seagull,
someday you will know
how long ago your flight began
and how great a journey
you have travelled.
Now you are ready
to begin the most difficult
and the most powerful journey of all.
You are ready to fly up and know
the meaning of kindness and love.
Jonathan, you were born
to be a teacher,
to give the truth to anyone
struggling to break out of his limits.
It is important to give
what you have found, as a gift,
to whomever will accept it.
Chiang, I know I'll see you again.
Of course you will, and, Jonathan,
keep working on love.
What's the matter?
How much more I would've known,
if someone like Chiang
had come along the day
I was an outcast.
What a different life I would have had.
What a different life
the flock back there would've had.
Maureen, I have to go back.
We're always parting.
We're always saying goodbye.
I know you don't want me to go.
I know my old flock
doesn't care what flying is.
They don't care about learning.
They don't care about looking
beyond what they see with their eyes,
but, Maureen, there's got to be
somebody in that time who cares.
Jonathan, go with my love.
Maureen, goodbye for now.
I love who you are, Jonathan.
Fletcher Lynd Seagull,
you were born to us,
but you are not part of us.
You cry against the flock
and against the law.
You ask questions,
answered 1 ,000 years ago.
You do not wish
the protection of the flock.
And you shall not have it.
You are henceforth and forever...
...outcast!
I don't want your protection.
You're gonna wish you never...
All your ''henceforth and forever.''
It's not gonna be me
who needs protection.
It's not gonna be me!
I don't care what they say.
There's one hell of a lot more to flying
than just flapping around from A to B.
A mosquito can do that.
One little barrel roll around the elder
to show him what's possible,
and I'm outcast.
Can't they see?
Can't they...
they think of the glory it'll be
when we really find out how to fly?
Damn the flock.
I'll be outlaw all right.
Outlaw like they never saw before.
I'll make them so sorry.
Don't hurt them, Fletcher Seagull.
Who are you?
In casting you out, the other gulls
have only hurt themselves,
and one day they will know this,
and one day they will see what you see.
Forgive them and help them understand.
I don't understand.
Fletcher Lynd Seagull,
do you want to learn to fly?
Do you want to fly so much that you
will forgive the flock? And learn?
And go back to them one day
and help them know?
I do!
Then, Fletcher, let's begin
with level flight.
We're all outcasts.
We're all friends.
We're learning to fly
just for the fun of it.
Take your time.
Your whole body
from wingtip to wingtip
is nothing more
than your thought itself,
in a form you can see.
Break the chains of your thought,
and you break the chains
of your body too.
That's fine, Fletcher. Judy Lee.
Fly it nice and loose
until you get used to formation flying.
We'll just go on practicing,
and you can slide in closer
whenever you feel like it.
Fletcher, it's time to go.
Time to go where, Jonathan?
Back to the flock.
We have a gift to give.
But we're not ready.
We're not welcome.
Jonathan, we're outcast.
We can't force ourselves
where we're not welcome, can we?
And
