Once the tallow hardens, we skim off a layer of glycerin. If you were to add nitric acid, you got nitroglycerin. If you were then to add sodium nitrate and a dash of sawdust, you got dynamite. Yeah, with enough soap, we could blow up just about anything. Tyler was full of useful information. Now, ancient peoples found that clothes got cleaner when they washed them at a certain point in the river. - You know why? - No. Human sacrifices were once made on the hills above this river. Bodies burned. Water seeped into the wood and ashes to create lye. This is lye, the crucial ingredient. Once it mixed with the melted fat of bodies, a thick, white, soapy discharge crept into the river. May I see your hand, please? What is this? This... is chemical burn. Uh-Aah! Aah! It'll hurt more than you've ever been burned, and you will have a scar. If meditation worked for cancer, it could work for this. Stay with the pain. Don't shove to center. No, no! Oh, God! Look at your hand. The first soap was made from the ashes of heroes, Like the first monkey shot into space. Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothin'. I tried not to think of the the words "sear" or "flesh." Stop it! This is your pain. This is your burning hand. It's right here. I'm going to my cave. I'm going to my cave and find my power animal. No! Don't deal with it the way those dead people do! Come on! I get the point! OK! Please! No. What you're feeling is premature enlightenment.
