Mike and Kate in “Welcome Aboard”

Uh, look, Kate. I haven’t had a chance to talk with you privately since you joined us.

No.

When we last met, on the course, I never expected we’d end up on the same ship, you being a big ship sort of person and me being wedded to patrol boats.

Yes, you’re right. I am a big ship sort of person.

Well, Hammersley has only got six months left in her, so...

As for anything else that may have happened between us, I’m sure two professionals can work together. Sir?

Yes. I’m sure.
