“Nonsense! I just listen to the Buddhist stories to learn the lessons of life, which makes me feel better.”

“What? I can tell you stories if you want. I promise my stories are the best ones that you’ve never heard before.”

“Save it! Your stories are nothing to the Buddhist stories, okay?”

“He will as I’m telling the truth.”

Troy is angry. “Don’t you talk to the fucking monks ever! You’ve been brain-washed by them to argue with me.”

“I want to be brain-washed. Hope you’d take a chance to be brain-washed by them, too.”
