If he had broken down, that would be really unfortunate because then he wouldn't be able to continue or get paid. It's too bad that everyone else is too absorbed with themselves to really pay attention to their companions, because otherwise one of them might have been able to notice that he was lagging behind and would have helped him get into one of the carts.

It's hard to tell what the mime is thinking Since, of course, he's not really saying anything.
