Some people are maybe rightfully saying that this movie reference is a little dated, but here's the thing, here's the deal - we're old now. We're on the internet, but we are old and we got to teach the youth because the 15-to-24 age group accounted for the largest share of firework injuries in 2025.

You've got to think about that famous scene from 'The Rock' (1996). Stanley Goodspeed is holding the "string of pearls" virus container that he's just removed from its housing. He looks Sean Connery dead in the eye and says, "The second you don't respect this, it kills you." That's the energy.

I mean... context matters. I have no idea what scene in the movie (which I had to look up to jog my memory) was being referenced but, I would hope "holding a virus container" makes things pretty clear? I would ask my GenA peeps but they are all over on Discord. 😆
