All the green in the planted world consists of these whole, rounded chloroplasts wending their ways in water. if you analyze a molecule of chlorophyll itself, what you get is one hundred thirty-six atoms of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen arranged in an exact and complex relationship around a central ring. at the ring's center is a single atom of magnesium. now: if you remove the atom of magnesium and in its exact place put an atom of iron, you get a molecule of hemoglobin. the iron atom combines with all the other atoms to make red blood, the streaming red dots in the goldfish's tail.

Effort is between you, and you, and nobody else. so that team that thinks it's ready to see you, they think what they've seen on film, they ain't saw what film shows, because every day is a new day. every moment is a new moment. so now you've got to go out and show them that i'm a different creature now, than i was five minutes ago, cause i'm pissed off for greatness. cause if you ain't pissed off for greatness, that just means you're okay with being mediocre, and ain't no man in here okay with just basic.

One of the big things that we wanted to do was trying to kick out a car window as you're driving after it's been shattered obstructing your view. i mean, that's - i can't count how many movies i've seen that in, and we just thought, you know, like, it could be funny if it just kind of goes wrong and this foot just kind of punctures through the window and gets stuck.
