Where he says that story about a taxi driver when he got in the taxi at the start. And he's asking him all these questions about Atlantis or whatever it is. And he realizes... He doesn't think this guy is an idiot. He thinks this guy has a curious mind. He's someone who should be, we can have a wonderful conversation.
