You have to synchronize your movement with the sun's progress! Zonker: Oh, wow. That's hard. You really have to concentrate... Plant: So? I thought you were a competitor! Zonker: Well, I am, but...

Zonker was very serious about training. Whatever it is – if Zonker wants to give it his whole attention … he would give it his full, undivided attention. No wonder his plants loved him.
