Abhinandan: Rajyasree, you know you should not take this lightly. When your co-host is motivated after he has been ridiculed by his audience, who said I haven’t watched anything, the next week he goes back and watches a film, a series, two ads. He does his homework, he comes and does a great show.
Rajyasree: I was very impressed!
Abhinandan: And then his horrible co-host — who should just jump off a building and fall on concrete — tells him to watch such films. Do you know how demotivated I get? Why should I watch anything? You wasted two hours, you know how busy I am?
Rajyasree: You saw only one episode, I watched two episodes.
Abhinandan: Dude, I watched all four. I can tell you what the end scene is. Do you know what the end scene is? 
Rajyasree: Everyone just shoots their brains out because they couldn't believe they have to do this?
Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.

Rajyasree: I have to say something. When people say this to me, I was also a child and I turned out to be a pretty decent adult.

Talking about the mountaineers Edmund Hillary and George Mallory:
Abhinandan: He’s the one who made that line famous, “Because it’s there.” Have you heard that line?
Rajyasree: It is why I also went mountaineering because it was there.
Abhinandan:	 This is Mallory’s line. I think it is the coolest line in history ever.
Rajyasree: Ever!
Abhinandan: I use it all the time. Why did you eat that ice cream? Because it’s there! Why did you eat that cake? Because it’s there!
Rajyasree: That’s why you have diabetes.
Abhinandan: That also because it’s there.
Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.
