It's the day of the individual time trials and all eyes are on Evans and the Schlecks. The dogs have got together in the dog tent to watch the television coverage. Molly, Jacks, Tour and Frank Scleck's dog Stewie are glued to the screen.
Jacks: I'm really nervous.
Molly: You should be, Jacks. Cadel's done his homework.
Stewie: I'm nervous too.
Tour: Me too. I'm probably more nervous than all of you.
Jacks: You know what, in an ideal world we'd all be hanging out for Farky MacTaggart to win.
Tour: Why? Because he's a dog? That's racist.
Stewie: Worse, it's species-ist.
Molly: Farky MacTaggart. I went out with him once. He's cool. He's into Japanese literature.
Stewie: No kidding! So am I!
Tour: Me too! I love those comics.
Molly: Not the comics, lowbrow!
Tour: Wooo! Lowbrow am I? Who of you has read all of Don Quixote?
Stewie: Donkey who? Is that like Donkey Kong?
Jacks: Shut up everyone, and watch.
Molly: Who's on next? Hey, it's that old guy from Team Bumptious who did so well yesterday.
......
Gaius is getting ready for his time trial. Violetta and Le Bon David are encouraging him while watching him warm up.
Le Bon David: Now Gaius, you did extremely well yesterday. This is your chance to rise in the overall standings.
Gaius: Yes, from nearly bottom.
Violetta: Don't be defeatist. Have a mint.
Le Bon David: Mint? What sort of mint?
Gaius: They're hot mints. They buck you up. Thanks, Violetta.
He takes two.
Le Bon David: Violetta, I hope you are not taking advantage of the innocent nature of Gaius Plinius Secundus.
Violetta: As if!
Gaius: Of course she isn't. And thanks for the reminder David. It's not for nothing that I'm a proud Secundus!
Violetta: You're planning on coming second? You'd better have another mint.
