JT: How about Tartarus? Quiet, out of the way, a real survival challenge.

GC: {{Flashback}} Aaaaahhhh!

James picks himself off the floor.

GC: Sorry. I meant "no, we're not doing this in Tartarus."

JT: I think I've gone deaf.

PH: Really? Let's test: you have a girl's email account.

JT: {{Punches Paul}} Wait, I can hear now.

PH: {{From the ground}} Ow.

JB: I have an idea: Manhattan Island!

PH: {{Getting up}} Isn't that a bit too built up for a "Survivor" challenge?

JB: Haven't you ever heard of the asphalt jungle? It's every man for himself out there!

GT: Wait a minute. Your parents live there!

JB: Yeah and I haven't seen them in years. What with spending all my time building up Cirran Logic and now with the downturn in the market I don't have enough money to fly there.

GC: That's a sad story.

JB: So we'll do it in Manhattan?

GC: No. I was thinking somewhere mysterious, dangerous, and yet close enough that I can go home and watch tv at the end of each night.

PH: Ooh, how about the Kindling Gate Mall? I've always dreamed of an adventure like the one Elizabeth and Jessica had.

JT: You've lost me. Who are Elizabeth and Jessica?

PH: Uhm, no one.

GC: {{Reading Paul's mind}} What is "Sweet Valley High"?

JB: {{Incredulous}} You *watched* Sweet Valley High?

PH: No! I just, uhm, read the books.

JB: Well, that's not so bad. Reading is good for you. And it was only one or two books, right?

PH: ...

JB: Oh. My. Goddess. How many books did you read?

PH: {{Calculating}} I'm currently reading my 220th book.

[True figure, and I don't even know how up to date that number is. I was more into Hardy Boys books myself.]
