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.
2 2Dads
Yes! What do you say, ROey, you gonna cut lose tonight or what?
Sadly I’m on watch, 2Dads.
2 2Dads
Ah, bummer. What about you, Bird? [Mimes having a drink.]
Uh, I’ve got food to prep for tomorrow.
2 2Dads
How boring are you guys? Looks like I'm gonna have to have enough fun for the three of us!
Remember 2Dads, this is a good will visit. Let’s not wear out our welcome on the first night.
I’ll keep an eye on him, sir.
Who’ll keep an eye on you?
Ah, that’d be my job, ma’am.
That doesn’t fill me with confidence, either.
[The crew laughs.]
You know, I might just have to come along and keep an eye on all of you.
Can you tell me what day it is?
2 2Dads
Luckiest day of my life?
You okay? I heard you got dumped.
2 2Dads
Who told you that?
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.
2 2Dads
Since when are you an expert on relationships?
Oh, no, I don’t claim to be. I’m an expert on communication.
2 2Dads
[Chuckles.] Now that’s ironic.
R Roth
It’s good to see you Kate. I’ve been wanting to drop you a line for a while now.
So you thought that you’d just drop out of the sky instead?
2 2Dads
Ah, I’m a free man. You know what that means, yeah?
Yeah. You can make a fool of yourself getting rejected by a whole bevy of beautiful women.
[They all laugh.]
2 2Dads
No, no, no. Not when you guys tell them how I single-handedly saved a warship!
2 2Dads
Warship! Come on, right there.
Get used to it, Bird, he’ll be dining out on this for years.
By the way, your shout, 2Dads.
R Roth
You heading out with the others?
No such luck, I’m afraid. I’ve got a report that I need to finish.
R Roth
Forget about paperwork. Come and have a drink with me.
Well, I... [She glances up at the ship. Roth turns to see Mike watching them.]
R Roth
Sorry. I just assumed that nothing was going on seeing as you’re still serving on the same ship.
Well, there is nothing going on. But Mike is resuming a shore posting in a few weeks, so...
R Roth
Right. I’m happy for you, Kate. [They shake hands.] Good to see you. [He waves to Mike as he leaves.]
