"Here is the Philosopher from India."
"Aha! So you have travelled this way from India and the Gedrosian desert and the Persian lands to speak to me of mathematics, the transmigration of souls and higher things."
"Mathematics is irrelevant before human suffering and the need to attain nothingness so one is unaffected by suffering."
"Mathematics? Irrelevant! Bah, barbarian nonsense. With numbers, one can predict all. Some philosopher, I can tell you right now. Anyone who demeans mathematics is an ignorant fool."
"I can predict something for you without numbers."
"Try me."
"You might want to avoid beans."
"Hahahaha. Really now. Thats it? Where will I find these murderous beans?"
"You'll find out the hard way. I should have stayed under my bodhi tree."
