The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Reggie and Babbette, with their luggage, along with some other passengers, emerge from the spaceport tube-train at the station beneath the Burj. Everything looks lavish.
Reggie: Too bad we can't stay in the Burj's Hotel Otaared.
Babbette: At those rates? Fuggedaboudit. We'll find a less expensive place on the crater wall.
Panel 2
Reggie and Babbette are approached by a well-dressed gentleman, with an automated luggage trundle following behind.
Gentleman: Sir, Madam, my name is Gunter Müller, assistant manager of the Hotel Otaared.
Gentleman: Will you be staying with us while on Mercury?

Panel 3
Three-shot, Gunter, Babbette and Reggie.
Babbette: Oh no, we'll be staying at a smaller rim hotel. We're on a budget.
Gunter: Then you are in luck.

Panel 4
Gunter puts on his best salesman face. Babbette and Reggie look dubious.
Gunter: Hotel Otaared is offering a substantial discount at this time.
Babbette: How substantial?
Reggie: Why?
Panel 5
Medium close-up of Gunter, looking a bit evasive.
Gunter: Well, we are undergoing a … social movement, so we are slightly understaffed at the moment.

Panel 6
Close two-shot of Reggie and Babbette. Reggie leans in close to Babbette and speaks softly.
Reggie: That's Euro-babble for a 'strike.' During a 'social movement,' nothing moves.
Reggie: I was wondering why he was trolling for guests. Now I understand.

Panel 7
Three shot of Gunter, Reggie and Babbette. Reggie turns to face Gunter. Babbette is wearing a no-nonsense expression and Gunter notices.
Reggie: So, what's the damage?
Gunter: Sir, we are pleased to offer any room or suite and one thir … I mean, one-fourth the normal nightly rate.

Panel 8
Three shot of Gunter, Reggie and Babbette. Reggie is looking admiringly at Babbette. Gunter looks resigned.
Babbette: Make that one-fifth and we have a deal.
Gunter: {sigh} Madam, you drive a hard bargain. Sir, you are a lucky man.
