[And love, obviously, overcomes even the outcome of hovercart races. Remus' cart does not improve aerodynamically, but the shift of his weight does sort of lean his cart forward a little, with a creak.

Show, give--it's clearly the latter that he means, and as they draw closer to the end of the corridor, he leans his weight to the right of his hovercart, which pushes it against Remus' cart. This is a little like Ben-Hur, if the chariots in Ben-Hur had been drawn by teams of sleepy mooncalves.]
