• Las cosas se rompen todo el tiempo. Cristales, platos y uñas. Coches y contratos y patatas fritas. Puedes romper un récord, un caballo, un dólar. Puedes romper el hielo. Hay pausas para el café, para comer y para ir a la cárcel. Se rompe el día, se rompen las olas, se rompen las voces. Las cadenas pueden romperse. También el silencio, y la fiebre... Las promesas se rompen. Los corazones se rompen.

Por ejemplo, hacemos una pausa para comer de una hora o más. Simplemente sentados a la mesa, charlando. En Estados Unidos, es como: "Coge tu bocadillo, estamos listos para rodar en 10 minutos". Pero al mismo tiempo, todo funciona mucho mejor en Estados Unidos. Es más eficiente, así que es más fácil llevar los resultados a casa más rápido.
