Have you forgotten the sidewalk cafés and how we sipped champagne? » « Mewsette: [thinking] Champagne? That must be what they call catnip in Paris. How nice! » « Jeanette: …the button champignons sautéed in butter with tiny shreds of herbs… » « Mewsette: [thinking] Champignons? I know what they are – mushrooms! And delicious, too! » « Jeanette: And oh, my dear, the Champs-Elysées! » « Mewsette: [thinking] Champs-Elysées? I wonder what they taste like. » [Jaune-Tom and Robespierre are on a ship bound for Alaska] « Robespierre: It's all right, Jaune-Tom. We'll get back all right. » « Jaune-Tom: Oh, it's such a big ocean, Robespierre. Bigger than all of France. Bigger than the whole world. » « Robespierre: Sure it is, but you've never given up hope yet. » « Jaune-Tom: I have now. » [it starts raining] « Jaune-Tom: It's too big, Robespierre. We'll never get back to find Mewsette. » « Robespierre: It's not as big as you think, Jaune-Tom. » [noticing the rain] « Robespierre: Why, it's just made up of little drops. It's all how you look at it. »
