    I like how V isn't above making fun of himself. Vichyssoise is a French potato soup. His excessive verbosity renders his words meaningless to the majority of people little more than a potato soup posturing to be something more than the sum parts that constitute his monologue. He acknowledges it and laughs at himself seeing his own vanity yet claiming to not be motivated by it. Even thought he says he does what he does for the people at least on some level he is also just doing it for himself. He sees the irony of it and cant help but laugh.
