MR. GUPTA
Ah, so you've found yourself
a new protege?
MAITREYA
(In Hindi; Subtitled)
Ah, he's the master.
MR. GUPTA
(In Hindi; Subtitled)
So, how did the interview go?
CHARVAKA
Interview?
MR. GUPTA
He was on a talk show yesterday.
CHARVAKA
Live? Did I miss something?
MR. GUPTA
No, not really. It's going to be broadcast in a month or so, isn't it?
MAITREYA
Yes, it all started with the same assumption of me being a naive romantic who is trying to imagine that the world will turn vegan overnight.
LADY
Well, don't you?
MAITREYA
Come on, who has these delusions?
All that we have demanded is a practical, reasonable, scientific change in the system so that we can lessen suffering.
CHARVAKA
You know, I secretly share
a part of their cynicism.
I mean, does our case really hold?
We're asking them to make the cages bigger, to better the hygiene, to stop the force feeding, the torture. But how does it make sense? Because they are all going to be butchered in the end.
MAITREYA
Look, if you-
MR. GUPTA
But let their lives be better than their death.
MAITREYA
Yes. And just because they are marked for slaughter, doesn't mean you abuse and torture them. What kind of logic is that?
