She laughs. It's not pretty. 'I don't care about your history, Mister Bullet. I don't care about you. You're a snoop and a drunk and, frankly, you stink. But somewhere under that filth, I hear you've got something of a brain, and me? I've got three hundred greenbacks that say you oughta care about finding Mister Bun.'
If I was smart, I'd tell where she can go. I don't. I say, 'Bun's gone missing?' and she smiles like she knows she's got me. And she has.
But I don't go easy, so I just shrug a shoulder, throw the shot back, and take a good look at the-

“So the question is, does the Speech actually make things true? Or were they always supposed to be true, and that's why the magic works right? Is there even a difference? Is being a wizard just being in tune with reality?”
“For someone who's in tune with reality, you're a terrible singer,” Hobbes interjects. The philistine.
“I mean, does gravity have to pull things down? Of course not. We just call it down because that's the way gravity goes. If we called it something else it could be sideways!” They hit a bump, veer widely. Hobbes shouts, and Calvin shouts over him. He has a point to make here.

Calvin - also known as Spiff by most of the student body for reasons that had never been made clear to her - brushed soot off his striped shirt and out of his spiky blond hair, then shuffled through the crackly grass to stand just out of arm's reach.

Back at the cabin that night, Calvin sits on the stairs and stares up at the stars with Hobbes leaning against his knee.
There’s a lot of the world to see, Hobbes muses thoughtfully. I never realised just how much.
Less of it, year by year, Calvin reflects as there’s a burst of laughter inside – the other campers, cheerful and boisterous, and most of them oblivious to the beauty and fragility of what they walked through today – after all, it’s been there for a million years; it’ll be there for a million more, right?

Jolted and upside down, Spiff doesn't lose his cool. He reaches for the ejector button and lets himself drop out of the capsule and onto the hard, forbidding ground of the planet. At ground level, it's not like a spitball at all. He settles his goggles more securely and sets his blaster to Steam as he sets off to explore.
Redoubtable Scientists never lose their cool. Susie is extremely Redoubtable. She watches the other monkey for a moment as it shambles away, no doubt distracted by some other shiny thing that's caught its eye. She turns back to her beautiful new discovery.
