Project Hail Mary - Finding Courage Through Connection
Ryland Grace:
Commander Yao, I really appreciate what you all are doing.
Yao:
I mean, you would do the same.
Ryland Grace:
I would choose just not to go at all. I don't have the bravery gene that you all have.
Yao:
Trust me. It's not a gene. You just need to find someone to be brave for.

Project Hail Mary - Astronaut Training and Personal Doubts
Ryland Grace:
I put the not in astronaut! I've never done a space walk, I can't even moonwalk! I haven't done any training, I haven't done the whole... ..the pool thing!
Olesya Ilyukhina:
No, no, no. That is just we do for the picture, for social media.
Ryland Grace:
I'm not heroic in any way. I get sick on an elevator!
Yao:
Perfect. There's no elevator on the ship.

The Squid and the Whale - Questioning the Therapist's Approach
School Therapist:
I wonder how you're feeling right now.
Walt:
I don't know.
School Therapist:
Why don't you tell me about something less uncomfortable, like a nice memory, maybe?
Walt:
Isn't that kind of a stock question for a shrink?
School Therapist:
Yes. That's more or less how this works.
Walt:
I can't think of anything right now
School Therapist:
Just think. Come one. Just something. Meet me halfway here.
Walt:
Um, alright, let's see. Okay, um, when I was around six my mom and I, she and I ducked out of Julie Glynn's birthday party to watch Robin Hood together on our TV.
School Therapist:
That sounds like a nice memory.
Walt: [[Errol Flynn]
I liked ].
School Therapist:
Errol Flynn. That's all?
Walt:
And... I was glad she let me leave the party early to watch the movie. She and I loved that movie. It's like... It's like we were pals then. You know, we'd do things together. We'd look at the knight armor at the Met, the scary fish at the natural history museum. I was always afraid of the squid and the whale fighting. I could only look at it with my hands in front of my face. When we'd get home, after my bath, she'd go through all the different things we saw that day at the museum and... And we'd get to the Squid and the Whale and she'd describe it for me which was, maybe, still scary but it was less scary. Anyway, it was fun, it was fun to hear about it.
School Therapist:
Did your dad live at home back then?
Walt:
Yeah, why?
School Therapist:
You didn't mention him. Where was he during all of this?
Walt:
He was... I don't know, exactly. He was... He was downstairs, maybe. He didn't ever come to the museum. This was before my brother was born. This was before... It was earlier.
