TRANSCRIPT:

Panel 1 [Josue props himself up on his elbows, squinting at Ezra. Ezra looks off to the side with a slight frown]

JOSUÉ:
What would you do?

EZRA:
Keep going.

JOSUE:
Keep going where?

Panel 2 [Profile view of Ezra, looking thoughtful. Just him in the frame, a lonely panel.]

EZRA:
I want a captaincy. I want a ship.

Panel 3 [Josué shaking his head, winking and tapping his forehead]

JOSUÉ:
You’ve got too much salt water up in there, Ezra. Louco.

Panel 4 [Josué flippantly looks over at Ezra as they both sit beneath a tree on the hill. Ezra hunches forward, elbows on his knees]

JOSUÉ:
Only reason I'm still on that floating hell is the bastards say I owe them money. A captain is as much of a cheat as the owners.

EZRA:
I wouldn't be part of that. I'd make a solid captain.

JOSUÉ:
But why would you want to?
