Dr. Brown shows Tita how phosphorous combined with oxygen can create a flame. He shares with her one of his grandmother’s old sayings that everyone has a box of matches inside them that can only be lit by oxygen and a candle.

He claims that finding the elements to ignite the matches within is a task that each person must complete in order to nourish his soul.
