The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Cut back to the Pale Man, now several hundred meters below the air skin. He's starting to fall a bit faster, but not yet alarmingly so. He's no longer firing the maneuvering unit. Put a small head-shot of Bert in the upper left corner to show he's the one talking in the caption.

Caption (Bert): I bet he just plans to float down to the surface and use the maneuvering unit as a retrorocket to cushion his landing.
Panel 2
Cut back to Bert, Ernie and Tobi at the patio table.

Bert: He has no idea what he's in for.

Ernie: Tobi, what's the escape velocity for the Little Prince?

Panel 3
Medium close-up of Tobi, hand on chin in a thoughtful pose. (Leave room for balloons.)

Tobi: It varies from the poles to the equator, but it's in the 850 kph range.

Tobi: He won't get up to those speeds, because TLP's air density is about that of Earth's. His terminal velocity will be about 200 kph.

Panel 4
Cut back to the Pale Man, now falling alarmingly fast, desperately but ineffectually blasting his maneuvering unit downward.

Caption: 'Of course that's fast enough to ruin his whole day.'
