The Transcript For This Page
Panel 1
Looking at the Mass Driver approaching Dactyl. The Mass Driver is now oriented with its exhaust-end pointed in the general direction of Dactyl's path as its orbit carries it along to meet them. Dactyl is a little over 3 kilometers away now, and is large enough we can see the deep crater in its face, in which we see, still very small at this distance, Little Toot (the Brothers' ship), and another ship about half its size. The shuttles are there too but may be too small to be seen.
Caption: Almost eight centimes after turn-over:
Ernie: Just three klicks to go, Bert. It's looking good.
Ernie: I'd say 3 or 4 rocks should do it.
Panel 2
Medium shot of the brothers in their seat, with Ernie looking off on one direction as Bert is reaching way over into one of the nearly-empty hoppers.
Ernie: Then a short jaunt across Dactyl and we can kick some bad guy butt.
Ernie: Then we fly to Ida and finish the job with lasers – crude, but effective – steam back home with our vast riches ...
Panel 3
Close-up of Ernie, smiling as he imagines what he's going to do.
Ernie: … turn these monkeys – the survivors, at least – over for arbitration damages and take long, hot showers.
Ernie: After that, I'm going out for a nice piece …
Bert (OP): Uh, Ernie?
Panel 4
Medium shot showing Bert leaning over one of the hoppers, holding a medium-sized stone in each hand. His expression is tense. Ernie is looking over at him, also with a tense expression
Bert: We only have two big rocks, and a dozen or so little ones.
