This episode begins with the night watchmen engaged in conversation with Rubik's Cube.

NIGHT WATCHMAN:
Mr. cube, I want the museum-tour version of how to start.

RUBIK’S CUBE:
Very well.
Rule one:
Choose one face to become your “home.”
Many begin with white—because it is easy to recognize.
But any color will do.

RUBIK’S CUBE:
Rule two:
Do not attempt to solve everything at once.
Solve a layer.
Then another.
Then another.

NIGHT WATCHMAN:
So… first you build a little island of order.


RUBIK’S CUBE:
Yes. And then you expand it.

NARRATOR:
The Night Watchman nods like this is simple.
Which is exactly how the cube likes to begin.

NIGHT WATCHMAN:
Okay, I’m going to try.
No promises.

RUBIK’S CUBE:
Promises are unnecessary.
Attention is enough.

NARRATOR:
Ebenezer turns the cube, slowly.
