massively underrated part of The Count of Monte Cristo is when the count serves a little concoction to his guest and the guy is like âwhat is this?â and then the count is like âthe ambrosia of the godsâ and the guys like yeah sure but What Is It? and the count spends like a page extolling the virtues of the concoction that will make you King of the World in your mind and the guys like thatâs great man. Whatâs it called? and the count is like âare you familiar with this story where the king gave his men this concoction and they all got so high theyâd do anything to get that high again?â and heâs like âoh so itâs weed.â and the count is like âyah lol.â
