- Gwizdo: [hanging onto Lian-Chu's boots] Didn't I say this contract would be a cliffhanger? Oh, believe me, I've got a nose for these things.
- [the Mimikar inspects our heroes, who are chained to a wooden frame]
- Gwizdo: Lian-Chu, the reason you can't feel your body anymore is not because you're clean. It's because you were poisoned.
- Lian-Chu: You mean to say you took all those risks just to save me? Oh, Gwizdo, I don't know what to say.
- Gwizdo: Well, given the present circumstances, "Farewell" might be a good start.
- [the Mimikar spits fire onto its hands and rubs them together]
- Lian-Chu: It's not farewell. You wanted to save me, now I'll save you.
- [Lian-Chu tears the chains off of his hands and lands on his back with a crash. With all his might he starts pushing on both sides of the wooden frame from the middle. The Mimikar prepares to breathe more fire]
- Gwizdo: Lian-Chu, you wanna save me? How about now...!
- [Lian-Chu shatters the frame to pieces, breaking the handcuffs on Hector and Gwizdo at the same time just as the Mimikar breathes out the fire. The Mimikar starts bawling]
- Gwizdo: Lian-Chu, buddy, I'll say it for the millionth time: You are simply the best.
- [Lian-Chu gives Gwizdo a feeble smile and collapses]
- Gwizdo: Hmm? Lian-Chu?
- [Distraught, Gwizdo runs over to Lian-Chu]
- Gwizdo: No!
- [He shakes Lian-Chu's arm desperately]
- Gwizdo: Wake up, buddy! Wake up, my friend! Don't you worry, Lian-Chu, we're gonna save you!
- [He looks up with a look of grim determination on his face]
- Gwizdo: The gland. Hector?
- Hector: Yes, sir!
- Gwizdo: [picking up a piece of the wooden frame] Get ready. Get ready!
- [Gwizdo springs forward with the piece of wood in his hands and charges towards the Mimikar. He swings the piece of wood back, aiming it at the gland]
- Gwizdo: Hold Lian-Chu's mouth open!
- [the Mimikar breathes out a gale of fire. Gwizdo hurls it forward, stumbles and lands on his face. The piece of wood is sharpened into a stake by the flames and it lands straight in the Mimikar's gland]
- Zaza: Poor thing, he's gone cuckoo. Maybe it's the fever. Don't worry, Lian-Chu, everything's gonna be okay.
- Lian-Chu: What's gonna be okay? Is someone sick, little girl?
- [Gwizdo hastily shoves Zaza out of the way]
- Gwizdo: No, no, of course not! Nobody's sick. Whatever gave you that idea?
- [He mutters to Zaza]
- Gwizdo: Will you put a lid on it? Don't tell him a thing. It'd be too great a shock.
- [Noble Kao inspects Lian-Chu]
- Noble Kao: You say he can't feel his legs anymore?
- Gwizdo: [wringing out his hat] Yeah, but that's his, uh, his chin.
- Noble Kao: Of course! I thought so. You see, I'm not used to dealing with horses.
- Gwizdo: He isn't a horse, Noble Kao, he's a, uh, a human being.
- Noble Kao: Now listen here, you tryin' to teach me my job?
- Gwizdo: [hastily] Eh, no, no, o-of course not.
- Noble Kao: That's too bad. I coulda used a refresher course. Right, so this friend o' yours. Let's see.
- [He grabs Hector by the neck and starts feeling his eye, mouth and nostrils]
- Noble Kao: Boy, this is worse than I thought.
- Gwizdo: I don't wish to be disrespectful, oh Noble Kao, but, uh, that isn't the, uh, patient.
- Noble Kao: [hurling Hector into a wall] Why didn't you say so? I got better things to do.
