Summary

This quote presents a conversation between the speaker and Ang Lee's wife Jane, who works as a microbiologist. The speaker engages in a discussion with Jane about her work, specifically focusing on the behavior of the epithingalingie (presumably a microorganism) under the influence of cholesterol. Jane expresses her fascination with cholesterol, describing it as bright yellow and beautiful. However, when asked about Jane's profession, Ang Lee showcases his lack of interest and knowledge, responding vaguely with only "science." This quote humorously reveals the contrast between Jane's passion for her work and Ang's disconnection from it.
