John: So sometimes when I'm trying to figure this stuff out, Hank, what I do is I imagine a much larger situation. So like, imagine a building.
Hank: Uh huh.
J: (laughing) That has an arm.
(Hank wheezes)
J: The building's arm has a hand. And that hand is in a gigantic bucket of water.
H: If this was a job interview and I threw you this question, and oyu gave me that response, I'd be like, "Hired." If you just take a bucket and you put a lemon in it, then that bucket weighs more. Right? The lemon, if it was just sitting on a scale, it would weigh a certain amount. You put that lemon in a bucket, it increases the mass of the situation.
J: Yes. Yes.
H: So now, you have a lemon man.
(John chuckles)
H: And he's got a lemon arm with a lemon hand!
J: I think the weight of the bucket increases by one lemon.
H: Uh huh.
J: And I think the weight of the lemon person has to decreases by one lemon.
H (overlapping): ...decreases by one lemon!
J: Right?
Hank: Uh huh.
J: (laughing) That has an arm.
