Chase: Oh, this guy I served with.
Zoe: You were in the army?
Yeah. A long time ago. He was a local. Uh, very... very well-respected. And he took his kitchen very seriously. I... I found that rather odd. I talked to him about it. And he told me this story that he was told as a young boy about this wise old man and his garden.
This, uh... ( exhales ) This wise old man, he never spoke. And, uh, it wasn't because he couldn't or because he had nothing to say. It was because he believed that language deceived. That by its very nature, it clouded the truth, so it made the world harder to know.
And, uh, this... This wise old man, he believed that the truth... ( chuckles softly ) ...the truth lived only in silence. Communicated by other means.
That the food he prepared from his garden, that conveyed, you know, his affection, his gratitude or his indifference... far better than any words could convey. And it was said that this wise old man... ( chuckles )
He could change minds in that way. He could soften the hardest of hearts... without ever saying... one word
