Henry: Chidi! You didn't have to stay here all night.
Chidi: So surgery went well? All clear?
Henry: Right as rain, buddy.
Chidi: That is so, so, so great. I hate your boots.
Henry: What?
Chidi: I told you that I loved your boots three years ago, and I was lying, and that lie has haunted me ever since, and people tried to tell me it was fine... just a nice, little white lie in the form of social niceties... but I disagreed, and then yesterday I thought you were gonna die, but now you're not dead, and I can finally be honest and say that those boots are terrible and hideous and I hate them. Whoo!
Henry: This is why everyone hates moral philosophy professors.
Chidi: Yeah, I know. And I get it.
