--->'''Watney:''' Yeah, I get to go faster than any man in the history of space travel, ({{beat}}) because you're launching me in a ''convertible''! So they're only doing that in the hopes that I won't raise any objections to this lunacy, because I like the way "fastest man in the history of space travel" sounds.

-->"Right, let's do the math. Our surface mission here was supposed to last 31 sols. For redundancy they sent 68 sols worth of food, that's for six people. So for just me, that's going to last 300 sols, which I figure I can stretch to 400 if I ration. So, I have to figure out a way to grow 3 years worth of food here, on a planet where nothing grows. Luckily...''(holds up his operation manual)'' I'm a botanist. Mars will come to fear my botany powers."
