“The One that Ran Out without a Pocket-Handkerchief” Congratulations to those that guessed that Bam almost said, “Keeping an eye on you”. Who knew that being a spy or lookout would require so much cardio? And stair awareness?
Be careful out there.
Bam runs at full speed down a curved outer hallway of Puccini's tower and towards Pat, who is walking away from the viewer carrying a tray with a hot bowl of soup upon it.
Panel 2
Bam almost doesn't see Pat as the latter shifts the serving tray out of the way of the former calling out a greeting with a surprised but pleased expression.
Pat: "<Bam! (greeting)>"
Panel 3
Bam turns in mid run while offering Pat - who has stopped expecting a pleasant conversation - a grin, wave, and reply...
Bam: "<Pat! (greeting)>"
Panel 4
...just before falling down and towards the viewer, much to Pat's horror.
Panel 5
The shot shifts to the stairs that Bam fell back down, watching the gobo fall...
Panel 6
...and then hit the ground head first with an audible "Bam", revealing Zip as the view follows the fall.
Panel 7
When Bam bounces from the impact, the gobo - upside down - offers a happy greeting to a fully seen and speechless Zip.
Bam: "<Zip! (greeting)>"
Panel 8
Bam finally bellyflops at the foot of the stairs with a "Wam!" Zip's feet are just in view, and are turned as the gobo finally finds something to say.
Zip: "<Bam? (greeting)>"
Panel 9
In a hallway, an impatient Tik stands arms akimbo while Tok happily shares the opening of a joke, one hand on Tik's shoulder while the other gestures.
Tok: "<Why did the hen go across the path?>"
Panel 10
Before Tok can get to the punchline, Tik holds up a finger and observes Bam sprinting in from the left.
Panel 11
Tik and Tok watch on as the newly arrived Bam, hands on knees, takes a moment to take in heavy "hufs" and let out powerful "pufs". In that moment, Tok casual finishes the joke.
Tok: "<To get to the other side of the path.>"
Panel 12
Tik and Tok get pleased smiles when Bam, breath caught but still tired, raises a hand to give a thumb up.
Panel 13
A close up of Tik and Tok from Bam's point of view reveals a pleased Tik praising the gobo's effort...
Tik: "<Great, Bam.>"
Panel 14
...and then give a new assignment, with Tok returning the thumb up.
Tik: "<Now go back up and watch Nob and Wiz.>"
Panel 15
Back to the hallway view, an approving Tik and Tok watch as Bam, hands still on knees and now a little exasperated, takes in another breath...
Panel 16
...before turning and running back. With Bam leaving, Tik shares a mischievous smile with an excited Tok.
