Pure Genius
"Your blood changed, and you became"
Pure Genius
"a one-in-a-million match for a transplant."
Pure Genius
"So your donor kind of is a superhero,"
Pure Genius
"because they're one in a million just like you."
Pure Genius
"Hi. My name is Angie."
Pure Genius
"I was sent up to deliver this."
Pure Genius
"I'll take it."
Pure Genius

"What are you doing here, Angie?"

Pure Genius
"I don't want a kidney from just anyone."
Pure Genius
"You know what I mean?"
Pure Genius
"Hey."
