What gives? Why does this guy talk so much?

I have no idea what he's saying, but he sure is saying an awful lot of it.

So then Socrates drank the poison and died...

Wait, what?!

He's talking so much I can't really read his lips but I'm pretty sure that was a person's name just now.

Socrates?

No... I must have misread it.

No one would start talking about ancient philosophers with someone they just met, would they...?
