The Transcript For This Page

Distance shot of the Mass Driver, headed for the edge of Dactyl, which is now only about 250 meters away. The brothers are clinging to the near end of the Mass Driver.
 
Ernie: It's jumping distance for one of us, but not both.
Ernie: This rig is so light, we really don't have enough mass to push against.
Ernie: One of us has to be that mass.
 
Panel 2
Two-shot of the brothers.

Bert: I should …
Ernie: This is not about who gets sacrificed.
Ernie: One of us makes the jump, takes the bad guy by surprise, recovers our ship, and comes back to pick up the 'mass provider' and we can both go home.
Panel 3
Another two-shot, different angle, but we see Ernie's face doing the talking.

Ernie: I should be the one to stay on the rig.
Ernie: I'm a lover, not a fighter and if things get dicey, you are better equipped to handle the bad guys.
Panel 4
Looking past Ernie at Bert looking exasperated.

Bert: Will you let me get a word in edge-wise?
Bert: I still think ...
 

Panel 5
Looking past Bert at Ernie, who is suddenly expressing fear and pointing over Bert's shoulder. Bert is turning around to see what's going on.
 
Ernie: Oh no! It's...
 
Panel 6
Ernie holds on to the braces on Mass Driver as he kicks Bert off the rig. Bert is caught by surprise and goes flying.
                       
Ernie: … it's Elvis!
 
Panel 7
Bert hurtles towards a rocky out-cropping on the surface of Dactyl, now only six meters away.               
Bert (thinks): Oh boy, this is really going to hurt.
