"[Having successfully lit a fire, putting more wood onto it] There we go! Light it up, c'mon! [singing] "The time to hesitate is through!" [throws more wood in the fire and gets briefly burned] Ouch! Haha, ouch! "No time to wallow in the mire. Try now, we can only lose. 'Cause girl, we can't get much higher. C'mon, baby, light my firrrrre!" [takes a palm branch, lighting the end, then holding it up] There you go. There you go! It's a signal fire! And it spells out S.O.S! [embers start falling around him] Woah! It's a meteor shower! [drops the branch back into the fire] Fireflies, go! Run! You're free, you're free! [the fire burns bigger] Yes! YES! Look what I've created! I have made FIRE! I...have made fire!"
