Thorax says, "There's one game human beings play that I have never mastered, mainly because I cannot descry the object of the game." Juliette says, "What game is that?" Thorax says, "It is a game in which people boil clear water, pollute it with some substance, possibly further pollute it with sugar and/or dairy product, then use their bodies to filter out the pollutants." Thorax says, "It is, as far as I can tell, an international sport, but it does not involve speed, accuracy or greater and greater distances. It just employs one's body as a filter." Thorax says, "I prefer Monopoly." Thorax says, "The only problem is the board. It is difficult to dissolve in hot water, and remarkably chewy." Juliette says, "Well, you just keep on trying." Thorax says, "I shall, I shall. ...B&O Railroad?" Juliette says, "No, I just had lunch."
