with a box of scraps

Don’t be rude, identify him by his name, Matt Damon.

I volunteer to be a box of scraps if I too get to look that good and have that much money at his age

Hell, I'd settle for looking that good and having that much money at my current age.

The Odyssey is what happens when we don't send anyone to rescue Matt Damon

Interstellar is what happens when we send someone, but it takes close to a decade for them to get to him.

The Martian is what happens when we send someone, but it still takes over a year.

Saving Private Ryan is what happens when it takes weeks for us to rescue him.

The Borne Identity is what happens when a random person rescues him before we can get to him.

Rescuing Matt Damon is basically a genre of movies at this point.
