Corwin was watching The Emperor’s New Groove and the emperor had just ditched Pacha and discovered that Yzma is really plotting to kill him. He runs back to find Pacha but Pacha is gone. Corwin comments “and he doesn’t even have a cell phone to call him!”.
Bear’s dad had a small child sized train engine (big enough to ride) and some track which started putting together in the driveway. Corwin volunteered to help and as soon as Corwin could put pieces together the adults retired to watch Corwin assemble the track. Bear tried to help but Corwin wouldn’t let him. Corwin said “Bear, you should take a break while I finish”.
