The Chute Line-by-Line

[CaptVader]

KIM: How long is that?

 

[Oddish]

PARIS: "Couple of days. Some shore leave, huh? What happened to you after they split us up?"

 

[May 20]

KIM: The Akritirians interrogated me. When I wouldn't confess to the bombing, they dragged me in front of a judge. He said you'd already confessed for the both of us, then he pronounced me guilty.

 

[CaptVader]

PARIS: That's exactly what happened to me. Then they must have drugged me, because the next thing I knew, I woke up at the bottom of the chute to that welcoming party.

 

[May 20]

KIM: We've got to explain to somebody that there's been a mistake.

 

[Athena28]

PARIS: Who did you have in mind?

 

[May 20]

KIM: A guard, the warden.

 

[CaptVader]

PARIS: Haven't seen anybody like that.

 

[May 20]

KIM: A prison without guards.

 

[CaptVader]

PARIS: The other inmates say this place is three hundred metres underground. Maybe the Akritirians figure guards aren't necessary.

 

[Orac]

(Kim holds out a cup.)

Kim: Can I have some more?

 

[Athena28]

PARIS: What do you think this is, a hotel? There isn't any more!

 

[May 20]

KIM: Take it easy.

 

[CaptVader]

PARIS: I'm sorry. I'm really starting to get edgy. I think it's the clamp.

 

[May 20]

KIM: The what?

 

[Orac]

(Paris shows him a small metal object embedded in the back of his skull.)

Paris: That's what the prisoners call it. Everybody has one.
