- You know what saved Napoleon's life? - No. - His ego. - Ego? Yes. After he loses the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon isolates himself on the tiny island of Saint Helena. No one knows exactly what happens next, but the version I like goes like this. He's very depressed and decides to take his own life. But Napoleon believes himself to be of such superhuman strength that he takes six times the amount of poison needed to do the job. His stomach is so full up with poison that his body rejects it, and he doesn't die. See? Ego. Saved his life. Maybe he need glasses. - Glasses? - Yes. To read words on bottle. Poison. It's funny you should say that. Rumor has it that Napoleon was farsighted. - There you go. - There you go. - There you go. - And there you go. I think we're rewriting history right here. Why don't we talk about it over lunch? I can't believe it. I just asked you out again. I just did it again.

- Let's just start over. - Yes, okay. - Are you coming or going? - I don't know. Both. - Tell me about it. - Napoleon? Yeah. I read a lot of history books. They're long and cheap and usually about men killing each other. Like 1,200 pages for $9.99. You can't beat that. - But Napoleon? - Yeah. He's one of my favorites.
