PAGE 64 (Four panels)

Panel 1: View of Claudia again, realization sinking in.

Claudia (1): No.

Translation (1): Non.

Panel 2: Claudia in the act of standing up, her face enraged.

Claudia (2): No fucking way, do you understand?

Comment (2) : “Fucking” in Claudia’s dialog line here shouldn’t be translated literally. In colloquial English, used in the way Claudia is using it here, it serves purely as an intensifier (generally used by someone who is angry) to stress the point.

Translation (2): Jamais de la vie, comprenez-vous ?

Panel 3: Claudia in the midst of storming past Turpentine out of the room. Turpentine has reached out to grab her sleeve, and Claudia has a hand raised to swat it away.

Turpentine (3): Claudia, please.

Translation (3): Claudia, s’il vous plaît.

Claudia (4): Let go of me!

Translation (4): Laissez-moi partir !

Panel 4: View of Hiram, sitting back in his chair and rolling his eyes.

Hiram (5): Women!

Translation (5): Les femmes !

Translation (2): Nous devons apprendre à accepter cet échec comme tous scientifiques, avec dignité et en toute sérénité.

Hiram (3): Actually, Professor, we have not failed yet.

Translation (3): En fait, professeur, nous n’avons pas encore échoué.

Panel 3: Turpentine, looking in this panel like an idea has suddenly come into his head.

Turpentine (5): Although…

Translation (5): Bien que…
