Baby Pierre is thinking about his essential being.
Has he answered Ageless's question too quickly?
Perhaps he would be just the same if he were cut in half.
Perhaps that is the special thing about him.

Let's see what Spinoza has to say, says Gaius.

Arthur and Dr Yates are not surprised.
Lavender and Ouvert are not sure why it matters.
Baby Pierre is disappointed. He would have liked to know.
Come now, Baby Pierre, says Gaius, kindly. What is it that you always say you are?
An atheist and a free thinker, says Baby Pierre. Although Frog said it didn't make sense to be both.
Well, there you are, says Gaius. I think we have had enough of this Spinoza. Is there anything to eat?
No, says Dr Yates. I was in too much of a hurry. Have you brought anything to eat Arthur?
No, says Arthur, feeling in his pockets.
I have plenty of water, says Dr Yates. You can help yourself to that.
Gaius drinks some water. So does Arthur.
Soon Gaius has to ask for a toilet stop.
Arthur needs one too.
Dr Yates stops the Jeep.

Snakes!
Don't both of you get out! says the zircon. I fear my powers are limited.
