Main comic: On the deck of a ship at sea, an older man stands behind a younger man, hands on his shoulders, telling him gravely, "No, son. Women and children first." A caption beneath the panel reads: "In order to outrun the pirates, we were forced to jettison some ballast" - revealing that the noble-sounding line is actually the father coldly ordering his own son to be thrown overboard as deadweight.
Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of an angry man's scowling face. A nearby voice offers, "How about we jettison your Star Wars memorabilia?" The angry man flatly refuses the compromise and replies, "Jump, boy."
