**********

Rebecca Fogg: What on Earth are you proposing, Jules?

Jules Verne: It's fun, it's like a sort of game, in a way.

Phileas Fogg: Well, I don't like the look of this. It looks dreadfully
dangerous.

Passepartout: I am thinking one is getting hurted by this, Master Jules.

JV: No, no, no, trust me. There is no way that any of us will get hurt. Just as long as we stay together, and hold on to each other tightly.

RF: I can see where that might be fun for some...

PF: Indeed. And it rather depends on where each of us is situated.

JV: Well, strictly speaking it doesn't matter who goes where, but ideally, Rebecca should be in front, then myself, then Phileas, and then Passepartout.

PPT: Why Passepartout be last?

JV: Not last, Passepartout, you get the most important job. You have to get us all going.

PPT: I am liking the thought of that.

PF: You would.

RF: And I would be in front?

JV: That's the idea.

RF: Won't I get rather wet in the face?

JV: That's all part of the fun, Rebecca!

RF: Hmmm...

JV: The front is the most dangerous, but if you feel you're not up to it...

RF: Front it is, then!

PF: Why do I need to be towards the back? Shouldn't I be up front, behind Rebecca?

JV: No, Phileas, we need your weight in back. Keeps us from getting out of control.

PF: I see. Very well.

JV: OK, shall we start?

RF: Fine.

PF: Yes, all right.

PPT: Yes please!

JV: Right. Rebecca, you go there, in front. There, just sit down, relax. There you go. OK, now I'll sit down behind you, Rebecca.

RF: Must you sit so close, Jules? Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

JV: Well, actually I do. Otherwise we won't all fit. Now, I'm going to have to hold on to you, but I'll try not to hurt you too much.

RF: As if you could.

PF: Now I sit down?

JV: Yes, Phileas, right behind me. Don't be afraid, just wrap your arms around me. That's it.

PF: I feel rather uncomfortable doing this.

JV: If you don't hang on, Phileas, then you'll quickly get thrown off.

PPT: I am sitting down next, am I, Master Jules?

JV: No, not yet, Passepartout. You have to give us a running start, then you have to jump on.

PPT: I see. Let me know when I am to be running.

JV: Is everyone ready?

RF: Watch your hands, Jules. Yes, I'm ready.

JV: Pardon me, Rebecca. I didn't mean...

RF: That's fine, Jules. Let's get going.

JV: Ready, Phileas?

PF: Do you know, I'm actually starting to enjoy myself, and we haven't even started. Odd.

JV: OK, Passepartout, we're ready! Get a good running start, then give us a push!

PPT: Yes, Master Jules. Here I come!

RF: Brace yourselves!

PPT: And... whoosh!

JV: Quickly, Passepartout, jump on!

PPT: I am on board!

PF: Grab hold of me, Passepartout!

PPT: I am, Master! But I am afraid to open my eyes!

RF: The wind! The speed! It's... it's incredible!

JV: I knew you'd enjoy it, Rebecca!

PF: Good grief, you were right, Jules!

JV: We're nearly there! Just hang on!

PPT: Let me know when we are finishing so I am opening my eyes then!

PF: And so I can breathe again, Passepartout! You're crushing my ribs!

PPT: Sorry, Master, I am afraid to be falling off!

JV: Look out, Rebecca, look out for that--

RF: What do we do?

JV: Too late, everyone hang on!

RF, JV, PF, PPT: Whoooaaaaaaaaa!

(Silence. Then...)

RF: Jules? Phileas? Passepartout?

JV: Over here, Rebecca!

PF: That was incredible!

PPT: I am alive!

JV: Is everyone all right?

RF: I'm incredibly exhilirated, but, yes, I'm fine!

PF: That was extraordinarily thrilling, Jules!

PPT: I am alive!

JV: Who wants to do it again?

RF: Oh, please, let's!

PF: Indeed, another go round would do us a world of good.

PPT: I am alive!

JV: Is that a yes, Passepartout?

PPT: Most emphatingly, yes, Master Jules!

JV: Excellent! Um... did anyone see where the toboggan ended up?
