:29:01
Wait. Wait one second.
:29:08
Wow. Cookies, too.
:29:10
Yeah. I know you like 'em.
:29:12
Thank you.
:29:17
So, what are you working on?
:29:19
I'm monitoring
the depolarization...
:29:21
of cardiac myocytes.
:29:23
Oh. Hmm.
:29:38
Pericardium...
:29:39
mitral, aorta--
:29:44
such beautiful words.
:29:48
Poetry.
:29:50
Never thought of it that way.
:29:53
It's, uh, pretty
complicated business.
:29:56
No. The heart is simple.
:29:59
Fixing it is complicated.
:30:04
So, when you're working on...
:30:09
whatever it is
you're working on...
:30:13
I mean...
:30:14
how do you see the heart
as anything more than a--
:30:17
-Than a pump?
-Yeah.
:30:20
I mean, in the end,
it's just an organ, right?
:30:24
But, symbolically...
:30:26
Your heart
can fit right in my hand.
:30:29
The heart is this
incredibly smart machine.
:30:33
It beats seventy to eighty
times a minute...
:30:35
and in the space
of each beat...
:30:37
sends deoxygenated blood
to your lungs...
:30:39
and oxygenated blood
to all your organs.
:30:42
Cut the aorta,
and you'll release...
:30:44
a jet of blood
that hits the ceiling.
:30:46
Now, who needs
to use it as a symbol...
:30:49
when the thing itself
is so magnificent?
:30:53
-The thing itself.
-Hmm.
