In England, Quidams adopted a defensive stance while Merci l'Abbesse went on the offensive, raising the question of whether wisdom, caution, and circumspection were really necessary, and suggesting that overly solemn minds should step aside in favor of more perceptive ones who embraced risk, danger, chance, and threat.
THE COUNT OF MONCET While the entire kingdom debated the expected decline of the competition, a race broke out, celebrating with a hymn the return of suspense and fierce rivalry. On the scorching grid, a curse seemed to befall the Silver Arrows. In just twenty laps, their dominance evaporated, destroyed by two daring drivers: the two Quidams. From the second row, the two white cars leaped forward, united, lively, surprising, animated, and distinguished, radiating a confident strength. SIR JENSON (First corner) What is Fernando doing? He's charging at me! DON FERNANDO I'm trapped by two other Luthus!
ROMAIN LE CONVERT What do you mean? It's hard to believe that Pastor is behind this sudden incident. He's a laughable suspect. This man is an aesthete, who maneuvers with ease.
SIR LEWIS (Turn 4) The rescue chariot is about to disappear. From the outset, I must humiliate the impostor, regain my place among Merci l'Abbesse, and prove that I am worth ten times more than the nobility. THE COUNT OF MONCET Yet our Englishman was presumptuous. He attempted the impossible and braked without caution. His ambition was too great; bitter pride breeds impetuosity and irritability. DON FELIPE (Turn 20) Should we stop? What should we do: refuel here or continue alone? We are two chariots seized by anxiety, refusing to risk a proud conquest. I don't have the fire to take the lead! An unfamiliar anxiety overwhelms me. Does common sense favor the pious conservative or the cunning tactician who tempts fate? THE COUNT OF MONCET The cautious are often prey to rogue knights who impose their will. Their lack of vision and passive tactics distance them from the Grail, but the Quidams have embraced it. The impenetrable skies now bless the best team. Let's be vindictive! A daring gamble will soon be rewarded with a perfect podium. (Turn 42) I hate water and adverse fate! Both forced me to make a decision too soon. Weak, inert, indolent, I mistreat a plow and suddenly fear sacrificing a nag. SIR LEWIS (Round 43) By Jove! A vision! Torrential rain is coming! We must fill up and change our shoes. The incredible power that this promise gives me ensures, just in time, the fate of the clouds. THE COUNT OF MONCET You must always take risks and face danger to avoid being excluded from the podium. THE DUKE OF KENT (on the podium) Congratulations, O prophet of rain, prophet of storms, and prince of the circuits.
