young man (o.S.)
Now that you have saved its life, will you also give it a proper upbringing and a good education?
Maitreya chuckles and sits down next to the Young Man, who is in lawyer's attire.
What if it was the worm's karma to just lie there and get crushed?
Maitreya
Well, is it lying there getting crushed? So, perhaps, it wasn't.
Young lawyer
Or worse, the worm was trying to commit suicide and you've put it in the pot, and now it has to crawl it's way back to nirvana.

(laughs)
Do you believe in our case. I am sorry I didn't get your name...
young lawyer
Charvaka.
Maitreya
Really? Your parents named you that?
Charvaka
No. My parents named me Madhava after the great theologist, Madhavacharya.
But I decided to switch sides at the age of fourteen.
Maitreya laughs.
Yeah, I do believe in our case, but I am here, uh, to learn to win an argument from both sides.
A call rings out in the distance.
Ok, we got to go.
Maitreya and Charvaka get up and make their way to the court room.
Maitreya
We are all blind men trying to perceive the elephant.
Charvaka
How are you blind? You're just wearing glasses.
