YOUNG TRUMAN: I'd like to be an explorer. Like the great Magellan. TEACHER: Oh, you're too late. There's really nothing left to explore. Lunar Room Finally, I came up with the concept of Kirk's drowning. CHRISTOF: INTERVIEWER: Most effective. Truman's been terrified of water ever since. CHRISTOF: When Kirk read the synopsis for the death at sea episode he was…disappointed, to say the least. And I'm sure that's what caused him to break back onto the set. INTERVIEWER: But, how do you intend to explain his 22 year absence? CHRISTOF: Amnesia. INTERVIEWER: Heh. Brilliant. Let's take some of those viewer phone calls. . You're on with Christof. MALE VIEWER: (over the phone) Um…yeah...uh...Hi, Christof...uh, I was just wondering how many cameras you got there in that town. CHRISTOF: Somewhere in the vicinity of five thousand. MALE VIEWER: Oh...Now that's a lot of cameras. CHRISTOF: Remember, we started with just one. He was uh...curious from birth. Premature by two weeks, it was almost as if he couldn't wait to get started. INTERVIEWER: And of course his eagerness to his mother's womb uh...was the very reason he was the one who was selected. CHRISTOF: In competition with five unwanted pregnancies, the casting of the show, determined by an air date, Truman was the one who arrived on cue. INTERVIEWER: Incidentally, uh, I believe Truman is the first child to have been legally adopted by a corporation? CHRISTOF: That's correct.
