Textbox: All of a sudden, it ocurred to me that Fjalar and Galar had been treated in a quite unfair way. Fjalar: So, does that mean we have a deal old boy? Galar: Or do we have a deal?

Odin is lost in selfabsorption. Galar points at Mimer, whom he hasn't noticed untill now. Fjalar: All right then, shall we say 48 hours to get the job done? Odin: (Sure-sure, but whence the outstanding poetry?) Galar: Cool paperweight you got there. We could sure use one of.. Mimer sputters indignantly and Galar is frightened. Mimer: Paperweight! Do you mind! Galar: Yuck! It's alive! The dwarves leave the office in a hurry. Odin looks at the leatherbottle. Fjalar: Don't forget it now, old boy! Galar: 48 hours! Odin:(Now I got it! The poetry is caused by the Mead of Poetry!) - (Per, it's important to get this name in the verse.
