Quote from Pops in Cocoon
Adam: Pops, I'm so sorry. I never should have given you that powder. Pops: Oh, don't be. I knew what I was taking. Adam: What? You knew it wasn't real? Then why'd you climb up on that high-dive? Pops: For you. You seemed so upset I was slowing down, I figured I'd give you a few days of the old Pops. Adam: I'm so confused. Then where'd all that energy come from? Pops: Simple. I am in incredible pain.
