Turk and Fangs are talking when Dune rushes in.

Turk: I wonder where those children are.

Fangs: Dune said she would come back if anything happened.

Turk: Poor Franz is lonely without Fritz and Abigail.

Fangs: I think Jacqueline is too, she just doesn't show it. I've been playing with her a lot, though. Sometimes I think she can almost understand when I talk to her.

Turk: It is funny how humans can't understand us. We can hear their words easily.

Fangs: I don't know. Our language is much simpler than theirs.

Dune: (Running in and panting) Help! Fritz! Lizard!

Turk: (Hopeful at the prospect of new food and licking his lips) Fritz caught a lizard?

Fangs: What is it, Dune?

Dune: He's...been...bitten...

Fangs: Well, what kind of lizard was it?

Dune: I don't know. I left as soon as it happened.

Fangs: Why in the world did you do that?

Dune: I had to get help-

Fangs: (More experienced with island dangers) If he was going to die, he's probably already dead! Why didn't you start cleaning his wound right away?

Dune: (Panicking) NO! He's not going to die! I don't know! I - wasn't thinking!

Fangs: Where are they?

Dune: They followed the coast... north and east from here.

Fangs: Stay here. I'll be back as soon as I can.

Turk: What about Jacqueline?

Fangs: Tell her that her brother's in danger.

Turk: How?

Fangs: Any way you can. (Fangs dashes the way Dune came from)

Dune: What about Jacqueline?

Turk: She and Fangs have become quite the dynamic duo. Why, she even gives him extra food!
