T.: I wish we could just stop for a second. So I could stand on firm ground, you know.

G.: But we're on a train.

T.: There should be, like, rest stops for trains.

G.: In the middle of the Yukon?

T.: Well, you know. For people like me.

G.: How do you mean?

T.: People who have a love affair with earth, with soil, and who feel guilty for having an affair with modern transportation.

G.: Is that so?

T.: Well, sort of, you know. I'm just -- oh, I think I'm gonna be sick.

G.: Everybody back!

W.: What can I do for --

T.: (splurp)

W.: Oh, dear God.

T.: I'm so sorry.

G.: He's really very sorry. Let me get a napkin, I'll help --

W.: No, no. I suppose I should be used to this. Working on a train, you know. You'd think.

T.: I'm sorry.

G.: He really is.

W.: No worries. Enjoy the rest of your meals. I'll just be in the, uh, head.

T.: I'm sorry!

G.: I get it now. There should be rest stops for passengers and stuff.

T.: I told you so.
