There’s the trope of climbing a mountain to get wisdom from the wise old man on the top. Instead he gets this advice from the foolish young woman.
“What is the meaning of life?”, maybe. Or, “what is most important in life?” Arthur explained the joke.
“How can I live a happy/satisfying life?” Although my question would be, “How the he11 did you get here?”
Given that she’s comfortable in a bikini on a frozen mountaintop, she must have something going for her. Ask her what cool TV shows she recommends.
We tend to imagine an old man at the mountaintop, dispensing wise advice. But we find out here that that trope is quite incorrect. Kind of makes you wonder what else we’re completely wrong about.

But to answer Bill’s question, “Have you any words of wisdom for me?”
“How can I live a happy/satisfying life?”

Brrr, sir.
Arthur had it in one. This is “trope meets goop”. Sort of funny, just not lol.
