Eleanor: So how was the picnic?
Chidi: Oh, amazing. I mean, there were ants everywhere, but they were so helpful. They carried our wine glasses back and forth and they folded our napkins for us. They were so cute.
Eleanor: Wait till you see the otters who do our turn-down service. Listen, you might know Jianyu, the monk? He wants to join your philosophy study group.
Chidi: Oh, sure, we can get that up and running again. Maybe discuss some Lao Tzu and Confucius. Fun! Everything is so fun.
Eleanor: Perfect. Just one thing. So, he's been having kind of a hard time adjusting here. Apparently monks aren't the most social creatures. So just promise me you'll help him no matter what.
Chidi: Eleanor, I swear to you, I will look after Jianyu as if he is my own brother.
Eleanor: Wow. I mean, a promise from a strict Kantian like yourself is just about the most ironclad agreement in the universe. Okay. Bye-bye.
