MOM: Sometimes the best way to get over a fear is to face it. Perhaps we should try to climb the mountain so that Jeannette can tackle her fear. Do you think it would be intolerable for you, Jeannette?
JEANNETTE: (with a look of trepidation) I don’t believe I would be very excited during the ascent, but I would enjoy the astonishing panoramic views. But what if I lost my composure and chose not to climb with you? I wouldn't want to jeopardize your trip.
