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 āwhat is this?ā and then the count is like āthe ambrosia of the godsā 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 thatās great man. Whatās it called? and the count is like āare you familiar with this story where the king gave his men this concoction and they all got so high theyād do anything to get that high again?ā and heās like āoh so itās weed.ā and the count is like āyah lol.ā
