Night is completely audible, so I deleted the first question and you just have Night&#8217;s answer. Basically the question was about the significance of water in his films. The other topics include a very lengthy and emphatic elucidation on how to get your scripts financed and why the CGI in <em>Signs <\/em>was so bad.
