Lady in the Water
Lady in the Water is a 2006 American fantasy thriller film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan and starring Paul Giamatti and Bryce Dallas Howard. The film's plot concerns a Philadelphia maintenance man who discovers a young woman in the swimming pool of his apartment complex. Gradually, he and his neighbors learn that she is a water nymph whose life is in danger from a vicious, wolf-like, mystical creature that tries to keep her from returning to her watery "blue world".
This is Shyamalan's first movie in which he has played a significant role as one of the supporting actors. The film received a somewhat polarized response from critics; most reviews were unfavorable, with criticism revolving around the film's lack of consistency and characterization. The film was also a financial disappointment grossing merely $72 million against a $70 million production budget, causing large losses.
Plot
One evening, Cleveland Heep (Paul Giamatti), who became a handyman at a Philadelphia apartment complex after his family was murdered, discovers Story (Bryce Dallas Howard), a naiad-like character (called a Narf) from the Blue World, in his building's pool, immediately rescuing her from an attack by a "Scrunt", a grass-covered lupine that lies preternaturally flat.
Nuclear prelamin A recognition factor
Nuclear prelamin A recognition factor, also known as NARF, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the NARF gene.
Function
Several proteins have been found to be prenylated and methylated at their carboxyl-terminal ends. Prenylation was initially believed to be important only for membrane attachment. However, another role for prenylation appears to be its importance in protein-protein interactions. The only nuclear proteins known to be prenylated in mammalian cells are prelamin A- and B-type lamins. Prelamin A is farnesylated and carboxymethylated on the cysteine residue of a carboxyl-terminal CaaX motif. This post-translationally modified cysteine residue is removed from prelamin A when it is endoproteolytically processed into mature lamin A. The protein encoded by this gene binds to the prenylated prelamin A carboxyl-terminal tail domain. It may be a component of a prelamin A endoprotease complex. The encoded protein is located in the nucleus, where it partially colocalizes with the nuclear lamina. It shares limited sequence similarity with iron-only bacterial hydrogenases. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene, including one with a novel exon that is generated by RNA editing.

Reason
by: NervoWhen the puzzle connects
It's like you never forget
The way it's got to be
It's nobody's concern
Cause they don't know how it burns
When you're not here with me
So am I wrong or up my way in the sky
Cause I can never deny
These feelings
How can I ever stop
When I don't want to give up
This is my reason
Reason (repeat)
Cause I get you, I get you
And you get me, you get me
It's that simple, It's that simple
Don't matter what we are
Cause we don't ever fall
When the puzzle connects
It's like you never forget
The way it's got to be
It's nobody's concern
Cause they don't know how it burns
When you're not here with me
So am I wrong or up my way in the sky
Cause I can never deny
These feelings
How can I ever stop
When I don't want to give up
This is my reason
