Panel 1:

• Character 1: "Do you think there's a meaning of life?"

• Character 1: "Probably to seek out something or other, or strive against this and that."

Panel 3:

• Character 2: "The thing is there's clearly no meaning to, say, the life of a cat. And the cat seems much happier than us."

Panel 4:

• Character 2: "Yet here we are, ever searching for meaning. It's like because we're not 100% sure there's a millstone around our necks, we spend a lifetime searching for one."

Panel 5:

• Character 1: "Existentialists say you can construct your own millstone."
• Character 2: "I call that masochism."
