RO quotes from Sea Patrol

RO

They might think I've drowned.

They might have a party!

Kate

Swain is making 2Dads do CPR practice on Charge.

RO

Aren't there hygiene issues with that?

Mike

RO, ETA to radio range?

RO

Eh, possibly... an hour and a half?

Mike

Good.

RO

Well, depends on their location. If they're in a valley it might be a bit... a bit longer, if they're up a hill, a bit... a bit shorter.

Kate

[Over radio.] Sir, we’re returning the illegal catch back to the sea now.

Mike

Let’s hope a good number of the fish survive. Well done X.

Bird

[To RO.] Why wouldn’t they all survive?

RO

Stress.

Bird

Stress?

RO

Big killer in fish.

Bird

Really?

RO

[Nods.] Mmm. You think I’m making it up?

Bird

I can never really tell if you’re joking or not.

RO

No, I don’t... I don’t joke. I never joke.

Bird

You never joke?

RO

Joking’s not my thing.

Bird

Okily dokily.

Charge

Just one question, sir.

Mike

Yes, Charge?

Charge

With Bomber away, who’s gonna cook for us?

Mike

Well, I’m sure we’ll manage. RO, you’ve had experience in the galley.

RO

Uh, I think that we should probably go back and get her, sir.

Dutchy

How hard can it be to burn a bit of scran?

RO

Seriously, I think that we should go back and get her now.

Charge

He may be right, sir. If you could remember back to last time. There was... problems.

Mike

Bird, can you cook?

Bird

Uh, a bit, sir.

Mike

You can give RO a hand in the galley.

Bird

Great!

Mike

There you go, RO. Enthusiastic helper. Just keep it simple.

RO

We all die, it’s not my fault.

Charge

We will die.

Charge

How’s lunch?

RO

Bird and I had a disagreement about condiments. She’s finishing it up.

RO

Sir. It’s good to have you back.

Mike

Good to be back, RO.

Charge

Starting to look like your old self again, sir.

Mike

I don’t know if I'll be winning any beauty pageants, Charge. Don’t know why I’d be entering any.

Mike

But Bomber and Swain did a pretty good job of patching me up.

Bomber

One of the more enjoyable jobs I’ve had to do as second medic. I’m gonna miss you guys.

Mike

Not as much as we’ll miss you. [Turns to Bird.] What do you think, Bird? This Navy life. Is it all worth it?

Bird

Yeah, I reckon it’s okay, sir.

Mike

Great. [Walks over to Kate and Dutchy.] So, who has the ship?

Kate

I do, sir.

Mike

Very good. Take us home, X.

Mike

You hear there, this is the captain speaking. We’ll be in port within the hour. Once along side, those not on watch will be free to enjoy some R and R.

Yes! What do you say, ROey, you gonna cut lose tonight or what?

RO

Sadly I’m on watch, 2Dads.

Ah, bummer. What about you, Bird? [Mimes having a drink.]

Bird

Uh, I’ve got food to prep for tomorrow.

How boring are you guys? Looks like I'm gonna have to have enough fun for the three of us!

Mike

Remember 2Dads, this is a good will visit. Let’s not wear out our welcome on the first night.

Charge

I’ll keep an eye on him, sir.

Kate

Who’ll keep an eye on you?

Dutchy

Ah, that’d be my job, ma’am.

Kate

That doesn’t fill me with confidence, either.

Dutchy

Oh, would you look...?

Kate

Captain has the ship.

Dutchy

What rubbish!

Kate

You know, I might just have to come along and keep an eye on all of you.

RO

You okay? I heard you got dumped.

Who told you that?

RO

Bird. She heard it from Dutchy, who heard it from Swain. It’s ironic, isn’t it? That you got dumped via email, communication being the cornerstone of any successful relationship.

Since when are you an expert on relationships?

RO

Oh, no, I don’t claim to be. I’m an expert on communication.

[Chuckles.] Now that’s ironic.

Mike

Do you usually listen to unused frequencies?

RO

Yes.

Swain

These aren't mozzie bites, mate.

They're not? What are they?

Swain

They're probe marks.

What?

Swain

Does it hurt to sit down?

Swain

Did they go rectal?

You know if my head wasn't about to explode, I'll tell you where to stick yours.

RO

2Dads, there's a call for you.

From who?

RO

ET. He wants you to phone home.
