Triangle and Robert #1753 Shouldn't I have been discharged by now? / Probably. / I mean, the Sentries gathered the four thousand cheeses already... that has to have taken most of the day. Maybe I'm not going home tonight. / I was going to explain that time is moving at a different rate for the Sentries for obscure magical reasons, but let's go with that instead. Your discharge has been delayed.
Triangle and Robert #1754 Is it just me, or has the passage of time been - / It's just you. / Sh, phone. / Well, thanks anyway. How's the regrowth coming. / Badly. I would prefer not to speak of it. / He said he doesn't gain memories for himself when he eats them. He might be lying. / It was still a good idea to ask. / Onward to fondue!
Triangle and Robert #1755 Again I have been created. I am the Fondue of the Four Thousand. / Have I done correctly this time? / Fear not, for my substance is pure. What is your desire? / Who am I? Or more, who was I before I became who I am? / You bore my recipe well, Sentry of Dairy. For one mortal to bear such a burden and suffer only relatively mild schizoid episodes is truly remarkable. Now, as to your lost past...
Triangle and Robert #1756 Hey! You're not dead! / We must feast tonight, lest the Fondue of Four Thousand Cheeses spoil uneaten. / I'm up for it. So... did it... speak to you? / Yes. This will also be a farewell feast. I leave in the morning. / Where? / Nowhere of importance to you. It is not Sentry business. Whether I succeed or fail, we will meet again. Eat now.
Triangle and Robert #1757 Is this Fondue supposed to be giving me esoteric knowledge going back to the dawn of agriculture? / Depends on what you dip in it. / Do I have time to go out and buy more kinds of crackers? / I somewhere's open, yes. / Get cauliflower too! I think I can get speed powers!
 
Triangle and Robert #1758 Out of my way! Get... back! Back! Don't you people have lives? / Odd. You're actually putting a scene with anti-Cartoonist protestors into the strip? / No, just your end of it. / Ow... so I'll have to narrate the fact that someone just hit me with a bat? / Yeah, thanks.
Triangle and Robert #1759 I have nothing against you people! Do you think I asked to be part of the comic strip? / You're not making any sense. Listen, I don't want to hurt you. I just want groceries. Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. / What was that? Was that a brick? You've brought this on yourselves. Remember that. / Bad PR move. Not like there's a choice, but...
Triangle and Robert #1760 Did you just hear six to eleven simultaneous stabbings? / Yes. / I guess the mob didn't want to let Grain get through. / At least this time I wasn't the stabber! / I was hoping to gloss this over, but it seems important now.... Where exactly is this whole scene taking place? / Your incompetence continues to startle me. / Actually, I don't know either.
Triangle and Robert #1761 You don't remember where we are? / I have little sense of direction. / Oh! You don't know WHERE we are! That's understandable. / Yeah, I know we're in a public park using the swing set as a fondue apparatus. / There's no way I could ever find this place again. I hope the Grain Sentry finds his way back. / That's the least of his problems! I heard sirens!
Triangle and Robert #1762 I can explain things to the police later. Right now I need to... Orpuddex? / Look not upon me! / What happened to you? / Can we please not speak of it? / I think we have a right to know. / Perhaps I will be more willing to discuss this later. Is that cheese?
 
Triangle and Robert #1763 I find it difficult to believe that the Fondue was created and the city still stands. / It wanted to be made. / Even so, the skill involved... were my power over cheese and not pudding, I still would not attempt a recipe of such subtlety and complexity. / You know more about the Fondue than the rest of us. Share. / Less than you think. Until recent events I believed it yet another pointless myth.
Triangle and Robert #1764 The Fondue can be presumed to date back to the Second Race in recipe, although I doubt they ever prepared it in practice. / You know of the prior Races... you know so MUCH. This isn't the time, but if you want to be one of us you'll tell us everything. / Not all of my secrets are for mortals, polygon. Do not dictate terms you cannot understand. / No. You're not talking to me like that. This ends!
Triangle and Robert #1765 The Grain Sentry's back! / You got a lot of groceries. Need any help? / Did you step in something? What's that on your vertex? / Never mind. I'm fine. / Oh, no. Is that... / Kindly scrape me off this madman.
Triangle and Robert #1766 What is going on? / The Grain Sentry stepped in the Igneous Sentry. / He's not a Sentry! He's our most ancient enemy! / He did not step in me. He deliberately pummeled me senseless. / I almost wish that we were in my kitchen so that I could tell you to get out of my kitchen. Actually, I will do so anyway. Get out of my kitchen! / That didn't really make sense. / Out!
Triangle and Robert #1767 We must not accept this monster as one of our number! He does not cooperate in our endeavors! / What endeavors? / Tell us all you know of our history or perish! / Do you even understand what you ask? / Shut up! / Who are you asking to shut up? / I DON'T EVEN CARE! Just... shut. Or I hit.
 
Triangle and Robert #1768 I don't like Orpuddex. You don't like Orpuddex. I don't think ANYONE likes Orpuddex. I don't think Orpuddex is really a Sentry any more than you. / So what's the problem? / The problem... is that he NO connection to the current plotline and things are already so convoluted I have no idea who to be angry at about what! / You're not making any sense. / AND we were eating! / Don't let me stop you. If you could pry me from this vertex?
Triangle and Robert #1769 It depresses me how horribly the Sentries work as a team. / What? The Sentries? / Triangle, have you been peeking at the other plotline? / Yes, I have. / Really? When? / How? / That's not important. The important thing is that the Fondue not be allowed to spoil.
Triangle and Robert #1770 Waiting for an official hospital discharge is important. / Hooray for discharges, be they thick or thin! / What? I forget what I was saying now. / Hooray for whatever it was you were saying! / Are you deliberately derailing me for some sort of half-baked plot reason? / Hooray for of course not!
Triangle and Robert #1771 Listen. Let the cheese thing collapse and whatever. The Sentries are better off not intersecting the comic. / Huh? / There are too many of them, their stories make no sense without artwork, and it always degenerates into infighting. / Let them solve their own crisis and let's try to keep the comic focused on its core protagonists. / You're jealous! That's what this is about, you want more screen time!
Triangle and Robert #1772 Some things are more important than the comic being any good. That fondue out there could do incalculable damage if left uneaten for too long. / I see a way to let you deal with the Fondue without stretching out this mess any further. / Go on.... / Three weeks later: / Hey! Strip's back on! / Can it wait? I'm not in the mood to recap the past three weeks.
 
Triangle and Robert #1773 It's been a very eventful three weeks. / If you recap it all, the comic will be even worse than if it had all been included. / What, we should just leave the resolution of the past few subplots a complete mystery to the readers? / We can bring elements back in when they're actually needed. / This is an entirely new facet of your irresponsibility. / I'm a complex, evolving character!
Triangle and Robert #1774 Don't you think we should at least explain why my scar is gone and where the Sentries went? / No. / [[no dialogue]] / Sounds good. / Look alive, client approaching for wacky scheme consultation!
Triangle and Robert #1775 You want us to do what? / We'll take the case! / Robert, I still don't understand what the case is. / Neither do I. That's why we're taking it. / Let's go over the terms again? / You'll be paid when and if the plan is successful and the marbles have reached Cancun undamaged, provided snorkeling is not interrupted.
Triangle and Robert #1776 Are we there yet? / You're the one driving. / That doesn't mean I have any idea where we are. / I think we'll hit the Mexican border in about three more hours. Why are we doing this again? / It's our job. There's a wacky scheme, we consult on it. / Consult, yes, but why are we the ones doing the actual smuggling? / Because it's a road trip.
Triangle and Robert #1777 Driving a van full of marbles to the Mexican border: / That's too many police. We can't sneak across. / This is easy. / Easy? I think we should just turn around and get someone else to do the crossing. Someone less wanted. / Look around. This terrain is perfect! / What about it? / Don't you remember that Hungry Hungry Hippos module? / Hey... that ridge does look just right.
 
Triangle and Robert #1778 Atop a ridge overlooking the Mexican border: / The marbles are packed in there tightly. I need something to poke them. / If you poke them to dislodge them from the van, you will be caught in the ensuing cascade, impairing your capacity to run past the police. / You're looking too many moves ahead. / One is too many? / This is a wacky scheme, Triangle. / We're consultants. Consultants plan things.
Triangle and Robert #1779 We need to release the marbles from the van, rolling them down the ridge such that they divert the border police and make it into Mexico with us stealthily following. / However, we must do this from a well-chosen position so that the ensuing WHAT THE GENERALIZED HELIX ARE YOU DOING ROBERT? / You were bogging down the plot. RUN!
Triangle and Robert #1780 See? There's no problem, we can just slide right through the border! Excessive numbers of marbles are fun! / Maybe for you. I don't have a side at the proper angle for this. / The important part is that we'll be going faster than the police. / Barbed wire. / Uh... I hadn't noticed that there. / New plan. / Yes? / I don't have one yet.
Triangle and Robert #1781 Barbed wire is not on the things that go away when ignored list. / I know that! I'm thinking! / Poorly! / Extremely poorly! / I am not made for sixty-degree slopes. / Grab on! / Are those your speed lines? / Clever, huh? / No, they'll go away when you slow down!
Triangle and Robert #1782 Last time, we left our heroes sliding down a sheer slope covered in marbles towards a barbed-wire fence, and possibly their doom. / Stop prolonging it! / No! Keep prolonging it! / Barbed wire isn't so bad, Triangle, it's the waiting that's the real pain. / You're an idiot! Impact velocity, Robert, impact velocity! / We'll probably be unconscious for most of it anyway. / And wake up in yet another Mexican jail? I say to you, "No thank you, sir!"
