Rachel: Detour. Bundles of Banana or Sacks of Cocoa? What do you think Finn?
Finn: Cocoa might be too physical. Can you carry 50 kilograms of cocoa?
Rachel: I can't. It would be so heavy.
Finn: Let's do the bananas.
Rachel: Alright.

Bijou: This is YOUR first detour, but not mine! I already had difficul choices!
Marie: As tasks, this is the first for both.
Bijou: OK. I think I don't want to carry cocoa sacks...
Mare: That may be harmful for our dresses.
Bijou: Let's get the bananas!
Marie: I like bananas!
Bijou: Great, because we'll have to eat them!
Marie: Great breakfasts this race: Ice creams, bananas... what else? Cow shit?
