Dialogue[edit]
- Mr. Link: Excuse me. Hi.
- Sir Lionel Frost: You can speak?!
- Mr. Link: Yes, and, um, I write as well. [he holds up the letter he’d written to Sir Lionel] My penmanship isn’t great, but, uh, you know, opposable thumbs and fat fingers, you know.
- Mr. Link: Actually, I go by Susan.
- Lionel Frost: Su… Susan?
- Mr. Link: Yeah. Susan.
- Lionel: That is a girl’s name.
- Mr. Link: Yes, that’s correct.
- Sir Frost: It suits you.
- Mr. Link: I need someone who knows the wild places of the world, and you’re the world’s greatest adventurer.
- Frost: What exactly do you ask of me?
- Mr. Link: I’m lonely. I’m the last of my kind, but on the other side of the world they talk of this creature…
- Frost: The yeti.
- Mr. Link: I think these yetis are my cousins. Can you take me there?
- Frost: I give you my word.
- Mr. Link: Okay, what is it?
- Frost: What?
- Mr. Link: Your word.
- Frost: No, it’s a figure of speech.
- Mr. Link: Sounds good. What is it?
- Frost: The word... is "trust".
- Mr. Link: We aren’t going to break in, are we?
- Frost: Climb the wall and pull me up. [as he goes to climb up the wall, he trips and breaks through the wall instead] Bravo.
- Mr. Link: Thank you.
- [as they are sat in a train]
- Mr. Link: Is it hot in here?
- Frost: By all means, crack open the win… [suddenly Mr. Link smashes the train window with his fist to crack it open] …Dow.
- Mr. Link: Oh, that’s better.
- [as Mr. Link tears off his shirt to reveal himself and old tribeswoman yells in horror and passes out]
- Mr. Link: Um…
- Tribeswoman: You have killed my grandmother!
- Adelina Fortnight: Quick, quick, quick, someone should give her the kiss of life!
- [they both look at the unconscious older woman]
- Frost: [to Mr. Link] You’re the man for the job.
- Mr. Link: How’s my breath?
- Frost: Throw me out of the pit.
- Mr. Link: I think you might be a little too heavy.
- Frost: Nonsense. Now, give it all you’ve got.
- Mr. Link: [throws him and Sir Lionel smashes into the ice wall and slides down] Ooph. It’s hard to know who’s fault that was. Let’s do it again.
