Mike Stroud: Randolph... I'm hungry! I can't stand walking ten minutes more without eating something.
Randolph Fiennes: Mike, we shoud continue walking because it starts getting dark and we haven't arrived to our goal yet.
Mike Stround: And what about resting here for only a couple of minutes? Keep calm my friend, we are walking really quickly!
Randolph Fiennes: Keep calm and walk on! So sorry, but it's impossible to arrive if we stop. What's more, we are forty kilometers far from the next stop. I'm starting to get panic about the snow storm that would start if we didn't move. Mike, you ought to remember the advices we gave before starting the trip. The first one was important: "In spite of what I feel like, I would obey the orders of my team mate if he felt better than I". We are putting our physical and mental endurance to the limit, I mean, there will be moments that I would feel better than you and on the contrary. Is it clear?
Mike Stround:(realizing how he has behaved) Yes bro. I was a pain. wasn't I? I apologise you Randolph. You are right, we should continue walking and at the time we reach the goal we will be able to eat whatever we want to.
Randolph Fiennes: Ok, I think you have understand what I wanted to say. And now it's time to walk faster because we are above the coldest zone registered here in the Antarctica. Came on! we can make it!
Three ours later...
Mike Stround: Randolph what's the matter whith you? are you pain? Your face seems whiter than normal... I'm afraid you are catching a cold or something... How do you feel?
Randolph Fiennes: I need having a rest by hook or by crook. I think it's because we haven't eaten nothing yet. Please, could we stop? Although it was you who was hungry, now it's me.
Mike Stround: Be brave my friend. Let's camp here and tomorrow will be another day. Today we're both too exhausted to continue.
Excellent, as usual. Thanks so much for your enthusiasm, my dear.
