Transcript For Strip 1955

Panel 1
Carmen gets to her feet, while Diana looks up at her quizzically

Carmen: But we shouldn't talk out here. It's too exposed.
Diana: But, this is the place you suggested we meet.
Panel 2
Carmen leads Diana (with Wook in tow) away from the bench and towards the shops.
Carmen: Oh, we don't need to go far.
Carmen: We can just be a couple of friends going shopping together.
Diana: I guess that will be ok.
Panel 3
Diana, Wook, and Carmen in a gift shop, pretending to examine the wares.
Carmen: Try to look as though you're interested in the merchandise.
Diana: I've often wondered about shops like this ...
Diana: In a city where all of this stuff can just be ordered, fabbed and shipped on-line, why bother with storefronts?
Panel 4
Diana, Wook, and Carmen continue browsing.
Carmen: You miss the point of shopping.
Carmen: We evolved from hunter-gatherers. It's in our nature to poke around in physical places looking for goodies.
Diana: If I find a mastodon tusk in here I'll let you know.
