FADEOUT:5
MUSIC:MARINA
SPEAK:YOU

Marina!
I'm back.

ENTER:MARINA
SPEAK:MARINA

You're back, and empty-handed.
Oh my God.
I think I'm going to hurl.

SPEAK:YOU
No, it's OK!
I have a solid lead this time.
I met a great white shark, and it talks! Just like you said!
And tomorrow I have to take it on a date.

SPEAK:MARINA
What the literal fuck are you talking about?

SPEAK:YOU
I'm going on a date with it. It's going to tell me what's up. I think it used to be human.

SPEAK:MARINA
You... you really are a piece of work, you know that?
All I wanted was you to bring me back a talking fish. I didn't ask you to strike up a relationship with one.
What's wrong with you? It's like you either bring me back nothing at all, or you do something resoundingly retarded.

SPEAK:YOU
Now look here Marina, I think I deserve a bit more credit here!
I'm getting to the bottom of this whole fish deal, like you wanted. And I'm taking a lot of risk to do it!

SPEAK:MARINA
Just... whatever, man.
This means another day of boat hire. That's going to finish off the budget I had for this whole trip.
You had better make sure you don't mess this up. Tomorrow is your last chance.
If you goof it again, forget ever getting paid for this gig. Forget it!

EXIT

SPEAK:YOU
She sure does love to bust my balls.
BALLS:2
Does that happen every time I mention the word balls?
...
Guess not. Anyway. I better rest up. And find out if wearing a tie with a wetsuit is feasible.
My God, do I need money? What kind of date doesn't need money?
I sure hope they accept my Discover card.
