Martina quotes from Sea Patrol

Buffer

Misty found my conversation inspiring.

Swain

Misty? [He grabs the piece of paper Buffer is holding.] Misty was that blonde you were talking to at the bar last night?

Charge

Name like ‘Misty’, she’s either a stripper or a whale-watcher.

Swain

Or both.

Charge

Possibly both.

Buffer

Hey, hey, I finally get a woman interested and I’m gonna die inhaling some deadly toxin.

Charge

Toxin, perfume – same result.

Buffer

Yeah, I’d like to see how these guys handle this toxin when I feed it to them.

Swain

Oh, gentlemen, company.

Uh, hi. I agree with you completely. [Sticking out her hand.] Martina.

Buffer

Buffer. Peter.

Charge

[Clears his throat.] You’ll have to excuse us, Martina. Peter’s watch is about to start, and I need to give my boys some information.

Understood. We’re relying on you boys to find this ship.

Swain

Oh, ma’am, if anyone can sniff it out, it’s the CO.

[Picking up Buffer’s email.] Oh, uh, I look forward to hearing some of your inspiring conversation.

Buffer

Ma’am.

Swain

Must be your pheromones, mate.

Buffer

What?

Swain

Exactly.

I never seem to be home.

Kate

What does your boyfriend think of that?

Hates it. Won’t sleep with me the first three nights back. Demands expensive sashimi. [Kate looks at her.] He’s a Siamese.

Buffer

Ma’am.

Just wanted to thank you for looking after me.

Buffer

Well, you didn’t need much looking after, ma’am. You handled those seas like a veteran.

Well, um, thanks, anyway.

Buffer

No trouble.

Well, take care.

Buffer

Yeah, you too.

Buffer

Ma’am? [She stops.] Would you like to have lunch sometime?

Yeah, that would be great. Um, how about Wednesday?

Buffer

Wednesday’s good.

Great, well, I’ll give you my card.

Buffer

Thank you. May I escort you off the ship?

Sure.
