PANEL ONE:
Nizini faces the goddess Gantranis.
NIZINI: Gantranis, you're a friend of Conniff, the grain goddess, right?
GANTRANIS: Sure. What of it?
PANEL TWO:
Overhead view of Nizini and Gantranis sitting at a table.
NIZINI: Well, I'm here on behalf of a friend who wanted to know, well, what kinds of things she likes. The sort of thing she might like as a gift.
GANTRANIS: Why don't you just ask her directly?
PANEL THREE:
Angle on Gantranis; Nizini in the foreground.
NIZINI: Well, if she knows the question is being asked, that kind of defeats the purpose.
GANTRANIS: And what makes you think I won't tell her myself?
PANEL FOUR:
Wider view of Nizini and Gantranis sitting at a table. The table is full of empty glasses.
NIZINI: Because at the rate you're drinking I doubt tomorrow you'll even remember I asked this question.
GANTRANIS: You know, you've got a point there.
