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!
