is the opening line for which charles dickens' novel? my husband answer. >> "a tale of two cities." >> he's so smart. >> yes, he is smart. we're batting 1,000. we're doing well. "a tale of two cities." that question is a little bit harder. because the line has become disconnected from the novel. the 12 words are the first 12 of a sentence that runs 119 words and takes up the entire first paragraph of the "tale of two cities." dickens was paid by the word. >> can you imagine what an editor today would do with that it. >> maybe he might do something like what herman melville did in "moby dick" his first sentence is three words "call m me ishmael." >> time is money is a phrase often repeated. who said it first? >> i'm going to go with benjamin franklin. >> that means you got it right. >> geniuses! they're geniuses at the msnbc digital cafe. >> the benjamin franklin was an inventor as well as a quote meister. he's responsible for the bifocals i'll be wearing in a couple of years. he was a one-man quotation factory. he wrote them, printed the

experiences and there are many characters in that maybe one of the great examples of that might be dickens story of a christmas carol where you know old ebeneezer scrooge is living a very selfish mean life until he says it by the angel of the future takes him into the future watches this you know and then progress the story he's is the terribly different man how do you deal with religion because for example the orthodox christian religion well actually they're very religious people with the they say that this life is nothing this life is actually getting ready to the real life which starts after you meet god. you must be happy that you have finally dying and . just you should be ready to meet god but most of the religion they say is that they teach that there is life after death yeah so how did you with that and in your in your psychotherapy when they reverse that for a moment and say that i think the fear of death is the mother of every single religion i mean that's one of the reasons why religion sprang up in the first place to help us deal. with this so it's not explaining the unexplain

when charles dickens visited us in 1840, he was truly blown away by high water pressure on the fourth floor of the hotel he was staying in. nowhere in europe had he experienced that. this technology was doing something to support the life and the growth of the city. philadelphia, throughout the 19th century, was the major industrial city of the united states. all of these industries used water from this system. and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill. "don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water come
