conversation at the bank:
Isaac: If I had all the money at the bank I would buy scriptures. Nothing-nothing but scriptures.
Clayton: Isaac. . . then you wouldn't have a place to live! You wouldn't even have food or water!
Isaac: I would build a house out of scriptures and live by a river and eat plants.
Clayton: But you wouldn't have anything to purify the water. Do you want to die of water contamination?
Isaac: You always ruin all my ideas.
man cannot live by bread alone. . .

hours later
"Can scientists be fisherman? Because I think when I grow up I want to be a fisherman" - Clay
