Hey thanks a lot for coming, great to see you.

Have a seat.

All right then, let's get on with it.
You just pay close attention now.
You need to listen to me very carefully.
Save any question for later and just pay attention, ok?
It's a very delicate matter and we cannot afford to get it wrong.
Am I being clear?

Ok then.

See the thread? This thin transparent thread I'm holding?
This is a very thin thread, you can barely see it, right?
Hold it, take the other end.

Can you feel how thin it is?
It's almost invisible, right?

Ok now, hear me out. These are the rules:
You grab this thread, with two fingers.
No, not like that, not in your fist. It's gonna slip away if you hold it like that.
Hold it between your thumb and you index finger, like I do.
See?

Good.
Now, these are the rules, it's quite simple:
You hold the thread like this.
You cannot wrap the thread around your finger or anything.
You just hold it firm between your fingers, and when I say “pull” we pull.

Now if you pull too hard I'm gonna lose my end, it's going to slip away, right?
And of course if you don't hold it firm enough you're going to lose your end.
Am I being clear? You need to be careful, you need to find balance.

That's all there is, it's as simple as that.
Are we good? Is everything clear?

Great.
Let's get on with it then.

Are you ready?

Just, please, don't let go.
Please.

Now pull.
