[Kate is in Times Square. It's as crowded as it ever is, but you might notice an unusually high number of sailors wandering around. Kate is clearly admiring the view from her perch at an outdoor table.]

Ah, Fleet Week. It just wouldn't be May without it.

[Aw, yeah. Look at those tight white bell bottoms...

And suddenly back to reality.]

Okay. Travel plans for the summer: who has them? I'm talking road trips, vacations, camps, missions, yadda, yadda, yadda. Who is heading out of the City and where are you going?

Also, can I come too?

You shouldn't be hanging around Navy-types. They're unsavory.

[recurve]

But they seem so friendly.

[deadthenred]

Oh, I didn't say they weren't friendly.

[recurve]

And they're so polite...

[deadthenred]

Lotta crooks are polite, you know.

[recurve]

And those bell bottoms...

[deadthenred]

Those are the pants, right?

[recurve]

Mmhmm.

[deadthenred]

Must be a real pain to keep 'em white.

[recurve]

The hard work sure pays off though.

[deadthenred]

[ SUBJECT CHANGE ]

So you wanna get outta town?

[recurve]

Sure do. Somewhere with a breeze sounds nice, don't you think so?

[deadthenred]

You don't need to go too far for that.

[recurve]

True. Long Island is right nearby.

You wanna go to the beach with me?

[deadthenred]

I was thinking you could just go to the roof of some big high building. [A somewhat awkward pause.]

But the beach'd be better.

[recurve]

So is that a yes?

[deadthenred]

Yeah, alright.

Do I need to get a suit?

[recurve]

Not if you want to swim in your clothes.

[deadthenred]

It's not so bad.

'Sides, not everyone goes to the beach to swim.

[recurve]

You don't want to?

[deadthenred]

I didn't say that. [You know, buying things is still a sore point with him.]

[recurve]

You should invest in a swimsuit.

[deadthenred]

We aren't going shopping again.

[recurve]

Yes we are. Just not together.

[deadthenred]

Why the beach, anyway? Why d'you wanna get out?
