Before the ship leaves, the two men discuss their financial situation. They've only scraped together enough money to live on, but they're sure they'll make more when the ship is repaired. The men joke that they've got a lot of work ahead of them, and that they don't have the money to pay for it all. They all agree that it's a shame that they haven't been able to make much money in their new jobs. The two men joke about the fact that everyone in the town seems to have something to offer, which makes them feel better about their situation. One of the men says that he's going to read the men's fortunes based on four symbols: "new beginnings," "your name," "at your service," and "when the quinzaza gets lost." The men agree that they need to figure out a way to make some money, and they joke about how hard it has been for them to master the art of fortune-reading. They joke that the symbols indicate a state of being trapped, and this is what they'd like to get out of their predicament. Finally, they joke that it was their quick thinking that got them out of the mess they were in.
