Transcript For Strip 832

Panel 1
Exterior shot of Cissonius blazing towards the sunlit face of Jupiter, which looms very large in the panel.
Mineola (from inside the boat): You don't notice until you get this close how deep and textured the cloud layers are.

Panel 2
Looking out at Jupiter's cloud-tops through one of the lounge windows. We see the backs of Dorothy Willis, Nicole, and Mineola Stinson seated on the sofa directly facing the windows. There are other seats flanking the sofa, angled towards the windows, but we only barely see the men (Fred Bellaire, Carl Hendry)
Dorothy: Imagine what it would be like to fly through those clouds.
Mineola: Or fall into them – it seems like one could fall forever.
Panel 3
Reverse view to show Mineola, Nicole, and Dorothy.
Nicole: You'd fall for about an hour through cloud layers and winds that get progressively hotter and more violent, and finally if the pressure didn't crush you first you'd go splat onto the core of metallic hydrogen.
Panel 4
Mineola and Dorothy both regard Nicole coolly, who for her part doesn't seem to care.
Mineola: So unfortunate to loose one's sense of romance at such a young age.
Dorothy: I think I've had as much romance as I can stand lately.
