"You ever wonder about the shrimp, soldier? About its purpose? About how a shrimp... ends up frying rice? Is it the shrimp’s choice, or is it the rice that demands sacrifice?"

"What are you talking about? Shrimp can’t fry rice."

"That’s what they want you to believe. The truth is, reality is more fluid than you think. In the dark corners of this world, shrimp do fry rice. It’s all part of the cosmic joke, the great cycle of consumption. The shrimp fries the rice, the rice consumes the shrimp, and somewhere, someone profits from it all."

"So... am I supposed to care about this shrimp?"

"Care? No. Understand? Absolutely. If you don’t grasp the shrimp's plight, how can you understand your own? Both are small, insignificant... yet caught in a machinery far beyond comprehension. Fry or be fried, soldier. That’s the only rule."
