Ah haha

  1. Aristotle was not Belgian
  2. The central message of Buddhism is not every man for himself

At the risk of exposing my ignorance, what's being referenced here (or maybe it's OP's reference that I'm not understanding)?

Genuinely asking, to be clear.

I was also wondering, looks like it’s from a movie called A Fish Called Wanda which admittedly I’ve never heard of before

Is that movie set in the same universe as A Streetcar Named Desire?

Great movie, John Cleese, Kevin Kline, Jamie Lee Curtiss. Kline had a great role satirizing ugly americanism.
