00:00So, Alexander is setting out on another project to add to his riches.

00:05Another expedition, invasion on lands unconquered so far.

00:09And he meets Diogenes.

00:10And Diogenes, the naked eccentric saint, is coolly relaxing by the riverside.

00:15And it's winter, so he is enjoying the sun.

00:17While Alexander, it is said, had a lot of respect for Diogenes.

00:21He comes to Diogenes and says,

00:22Now I am going to conquer new lands.

00:24Do you want me to bring anything for you from there?

00:27And Diogenes says, what can you give me, poor man?

00:30I have the river, the land and the sun.

00:32And I am enjoying.

00:33By the way, move aside a little.

00:34You are blocking the sun.

00:36Alexander says, but don't you think it is important to conquer, to experience, to improve, to add?

00:42And Diogenes asks, what would all your conquests give you?

00:46And Alexander gives a long reply.

00:48And at the end of the reply, he says, it would give me peace.

00:52Diogenes lets out a huge roar, the laughter of a saint.

00:56And says, that peace I already have.

00:58And you will go and conquer Persia and India.

01:01And then you will have that peace.

01:03Diogenes says, I know what you are saying.

01:05And something within me fully agrees and admits.

01:07I envy the way you are.

01:09Carefree, relaxed, light, innocent and playful as a child.

01:12Let me just return from my expedition.

01:14I will be by your side.
