"Stargirl mulai berimprovisasi. Dia mengayunkan tangannya ke kerumunan orang yang suka percaya seperti selebriti di parade. Dia menggerakkan jari-jarinya ke bintang-bintang. Dia mengocok tinjunya seperti pemukul telur. Setiap tindakan bergema di belakangnya. Tiga hop kelinci menjadi tiga penyangga vaudeville vamp. Kemudian seekor penguin berlenggak-lenggok. Lalu kencing bergoncang. Setiap langkah baru membawa tawa baru dari garis."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Stargirl began to improvise. She flung her arms to a make-believe crowd like a celebrity on parade. She waggled her fingers at the stars. She churned her fists like an egg-beater. Every action echoed down the line behind her. The three hops of the bunny became three struts of a vaudeville vamp. Then a penguin waddle. Then tippy-toed priss. Every new move brought new laughter from the line.
