LYRA: Oh, Master Daphne, your stillness is divine!
DAPHNE: Zzz... what?
LYRA: The way you ignore the world is inspiring.
DAPHNE: I was just thinking about pizza.
LYRA: "Pizza" must be a mantra for abundance!
DAPHNE: No, it's literally just pepperoni.
LYRA: Such humility in your teaching.
DAPHNE: I'm not teaching anything.
LYRA: This pose is incredible.
DAPHNE: I fell asleep during the stretch.
LYRA: A nap as a spiritual practice!
DAPHNE: It's not a practice, it's a hobby.
LYRA: How do I achieve this level of peace?
DAPHNE: Try ignoring your phone for ten minutes.
LYRA: Such profound wisdom!
DAPHNE: I just can't find my phone.
LYRA: Letting go of material possessions. Brilliant.
DAPHNE: I really need it to call a ride.
LYRA: The journey is the destination, Master.
DAPHNE: My destination is my couch.
LYRA: A metaphor for the grounded soul.
DAPHNE: Why are there twenty people watching me?
LYRA: We all signed up for your "Silent Void" class.
DAPHNE: I didn't open a class!
LYRA: Your silence was the advertisement.
DAPHNE: I was just too tired to talk.
LYRA: The power of the unspoken word.
DAPHNE: Please stop calling me Master.
LYRA: A rejection of ego! Truly enlightened.
DAPHNE: I am literally the opposite of enlightened.
LYRA: Such a paradox.
DAPHNE: Can I just leave now?
LYRA: Is this a lesson on impermanence?
DAPHNE: No, it's a lesson in wanting to go home.
LYRA: The soul longs for its true origin.
DAPHNE: My origin is a nap pod.
LYRA: Teach us the secret of the Void.
DAPHNE: Just close your eyes and forget everything.
LYRA: It's so simple, yet so deep!
DAPHNE: It's just sleeping, Lyra.
LYRA: I feel my chakras aligning already.
DAPHNE: Are they aligned? I can't tell.
LYRA: They are humming with energy!
DAPHNE: That might be your stomach growling.
LYRA: The hunger for knowledge is a powerful force.
DAPHNE: I think you just missed breakfast.
LYRA: Such a grounded perspective on physical needs.
DAPHNE: Why is everyone bowing?
LYRA: We honor the stillness of the Master.
DAPHNE: I'm not still, I have an itch.
LYRA: The struggle against the physical realm!
DAPHNE: It's just a mosquito on my leg.
LYRA: A metaphor for the distractions of life.
DAPHNE: You are taking this way too far.
LYRA: Your frustration is actually a form of flow.
DAPHNE: I am not in flow, I am annoyed.
LYRA: The dance of anger and peace.
DAPHNE: I'm going to start charging for this.
LYRA: A lesson on the value of spiritual energy!
DAPHNE: No, a lesson on my rent being due.
LYRA: Even the enlightened must exist in society.
DAPHNE: Exactly. Give me twenty dollars.
LYRA: Your boldness is refreshing!
DAPHNE: It's not boldness, it's desperation.
LYRA: The desperation for truth!
DAPHNE: I just want a bagel.
LYRA: A circle represents the infinite nature of time.
DAPHNE: It also represents cream cheese.
LYRA: Your mind is always in the present.
DAPHNE: Because I'm thinking about the bagel.
LYRA: Such focus! Such clarity!
DAPHNE: Please, just stop talking.
LYRA: The sacred silence returns!
DAPHNE: I give up.
LYRA: A total surrender to the universe.
DAPHNE: I am literally just lying here.
LYRA: And that is where the magic happens.
DAPHNE: There is no magic, Lyra.
LYRA: That's exactly what a master would say.
DAPHNE: I hate this place.
LYRA: Such passion! Such intensity!
DAPHNE: I am going to sleep for real now.
LYRA: Look! She enters the deep meditation!
DAPHNE: Zzz... pizza...
LYRA: "Pizza" again! The mantra of abundance!
DAPHNE: Zzz...
LYRA: Truly, a goddess of Zen.
DAPHNE: Zzz...
LYRA: We are blessed to be here.
DAPHNE: Zzz...
LYRA: Let us all nap in honor of Daphne.
DAPHNE: Zzz...
LYRA: Pure bliss.
DAPHNE: Zzz...
LYRA: Absolute peace.
DAPHNE: Zzz...
LYRA: The void is calling.
DAPHNE: Zzz...
LYRA: I am one with the bagel.
DAPHNE: Zzz...
LYRA: Namaste, Master Daphne.
DAPHNE: Zzz...
LYRA: Simply divine.
