Sea Patrol · Season 4, Episode 2

Mike and Kate in “Crocodile Tears”

[Kate answers the door.]

Mike

I thought we had a date.

Kate

I thought we cancelled.

Mike

I’d just like to know why you walked away from me today.

Kate

Because you’ve turned.

Mike

And what’s that supposed to mean?

Kate

Well, you’re clearly one of the bureaucrats now.

Mike

I'm just doing my job, I have responsibilities that come with this new position. Like it or not.

Kate

And that includes not supporting your former crew, does it?

Mike

I have to be impartial, it’s not personal.

Kate

Oh, that is crap. You know, you hide behind this veneer of command. I look at you with your straight back and square shoulders and it is your armour, and you won’t let anyone in, because you’re afraid. You’re an emotional coward, Mike Flynn.

[Mike chuckles unbelievingly.]

Kate

And I have put up with it for three years now, and sometimes I think you actually enjoy tormenting me.

Mike

Oh, come on, Kate. That’s unfair. You know the regulations.

Kate

Yeah, the regulations, they don’t apply anymore, do they? You can’t hide behind them anymore.

[Mike kisses her. She kisses back. The scene morphs to a montage of them, Mike carries Kate to her bedroom, they fall onto her bed, kissing passionately.]
