EXT. MONASTERY - DAY
Maitreya is looking out from a balcony.
MAITREYA (V.O.)
There was an island.
And you were to be reborn
as a tormentor or a slave.
Maitreya is addressing Charvaka, Mr Gupta, the Doctor and his fellow monks.
The tormentor would make life hell for you. He will give infinite pain to you and your kin, just for his pleasure. And... he had no remorse over his actions to crush his victim. Add to that there was no
karma, no soul, no retribution... no being responsible for your actions. And you had to choose any one of them. Who would you be?
EXT. MONASTERY BALCONY - EVENING
CHARVAKA
You do realise that you're going to give up your life, for something that is nothing more than a thought experiment?
Maitreya looks into the distance and doesn't respond.
And... monks are supposed to be celibate, right? So, I don't understand why is there so much intellectual masturbation in the first place?
Maitreya lets out a mild laugh.
