Simmons: I like to think about the first law of thermodynamics. That no energy in the universe is created …

FitzSimmons: … and none is destroyed.

Simmons: That means that every bit of energy inside us, every particle, will go on to be a part of something else. Maybe live as a dragon fish, or microbe. Maybe burn in a supernova ten billion years from now. And every part of us now was once a part of some other thing. The moon, a storm cloud, a mammoth …

Fitz: A monkey.

Simmons: A monkey. Thousands and thousands of other beautiful things, that were just as terrified to die as we are. We gave them new life. A good one I hope.
