Scene 11. The Road of Disillusionments.
We are outside the airport.
Papaia and company are waiting for a taxi at the stop.
Ravioli: The taxis are all gone; we’ll have to wait for one to come by the stop.
Banani continues reading the book with interest.
Banani: Did you know that the universe has a beginning?
Papaia: Obviously! We study the Big Bang theory every day!
Banani: I mean, even if we didn’t have the Big Bang theory, we could still deduce that the universe has a beginning.
Ravioli: Obviously, the laws of thermodynamics are enough to assert that!
The taxi arrives; the four of them get in and head to the hotel.
We are inside the taxi.
Papaia: Guys! This hotel app I downloaded is fantastic! The price of that luxury hotel turned out to be surprisingly low!
Ravioli: Well done, Papaia! We thought poorly of you, but despite everything, you’re still a whiz at online bookings!
Banani: I can’t wait to sink into one of those super-comfortable beds!
The astronomers see the hotel in the distance.
Papaia: Super Comfort Deluxe Springfield Australia Hotel! It’s that one!
The driver passes by the hotel without stopping.
Papaia: Hey, driver! Turn back! You missed our hotel!
Driver: No, sir! The address you gave me is further ahead!
Ravioli: You must have given him the wrong address!
Papaia checks the app.
Papaia: No! It’s true! The address we gave is correct!
We are in front of a warehouse. The store is closed.
The taxi stops in front of a carpentry shop, unloads the luggage, and leaves.
Banani: Wait, driver! Don’t leave us here in the middle of nowhere!
Driver: Sorry, but I have to run! I have another fare booked!
Banani: Please! Take us with you!
Ravioli: Watch out for the suspenders, Banani! Remember what happened last time you tried to run after a taxi!
Igor: Damn! I should have said that idea about the resume out loud!
