But if I say, 'I can't believe it's so hot in here,' and you say, 'What did you expect? We're in hell.'

Or if I say, 'I can't believe it's so hot in here,' and you say, 'I told you we shouldn't have crawled into this dog's mouth,' now we're getting somewhere.

And if the string snaps, and you've done your job right, the kite will continue to soar in the wind, all by itself.
