- He was curious from birth. Premature by two weeks. It was almost as if he couldn't wait to get started.
- And, of course, his eagerness to leave his mother's womb was the very reason he was the one who was selected.

Quote context

[...]

- 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.

- But how do you intend to explain his 22-year absence?

- Amnesia.

- Brilliant.

- Let's take some of those viewer phone calls. Charlotte, North Carolina, you're on with Christof.

- Uh, Yeah. Hi, Christof. I was just wondering how many cameras you got there in that town.

- Somewhere in the vicinity of 5000.

- Oh. That's a lot of cameras.

- Remember, we started with just one.

- He was curious from birth. Premature by two weeks. It was almost as if he couldn't wait to get started.

- And, of course, his eagerness to leave his mother's womb was the very reason he was the one who was selected.

- In competition with five other unwanted pregnancies, the casting of a show, determined by an air date, Truman was the one who arrived on cue.

- Incidentally, I believe Truman is the first child to have been legally adopted by a corporation?

- That's correct.

- The show has generated enormous revenues, now equivalent to the gross national product of a small country.

- People forget it takes the population of an entire country to keep the show running.

- Since the show is on 24 hours a day without commercial interruption, all those staggering revenues are generated by product placement.

- That's true. Everything on the show is for sale. From the actors wardrobe, food products, to the very homes they live in.

- And, of course, all of it available in the Truman catalog, and operators are standing by.
