Every cell knows and talks to every other cell. They exchange a thousand bits of information between themselves per second. Cells join together forming a joint web of communication, which in turn forms matter. Cells get together, take on one form,
deform, reform — makes no difference, they're all the same. Humans consider themselves unique, so they've rooted their whole theory of existence on their uniqueness. "One" is their unit of "measure" — but its not. All social systems we've put into place are a mere sketch: "one plus one equals two",
that's all we've learned, but one plus one has
never equaled two — there are in fact no numbers and no letters,
we've codified our existence to bring it down to human size, to make it comprehensible, we've created a scale so we can forget its unfathomable scale.
Indicating some of her perspectives on human concepts of measurement and distinction.

And it is going through time that seems to be also the only real purpose of each of the cells in our bodies. To achieve that aim, the mass of the cells that make up earthworms and human beings has only two solutions—be immortal or to reproduce.

Richard:
[after handcuffing Lucy to his delivery case] I'm sorry, I really have no choice. The sooner you go in the sooner you'll be back out.
Lucy:
I can't believe you're doing this to me!
Richard: I'll be right here, you have my word.
Lucy:
Your word isn't worth shit!
Richard: It's worth 500 bucks, up front.
Lucy:
You’re an asshole.
Richard: You're wonderful.
