[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?

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?

[recurve]

It's summer time, Bucky. Summers in the City can be miserable.

[deadthenred]

Summers everywhere can be miserable. Didja travel a lot before?

[recurve]

All the time. I had music camps, archery camps, family vacations, school trips, the whole shebang. You?

[deadthenred]

My dad was military.

[recurve]

Where all did you move to?

[deadthenred]

Texas, California, Indiana, Virginia, Ohio… but I never got to see much 'sides the inside of a base.

[recurve]

So then which one is home?

[deadthenred]

None of 'em, really. But I was at Lehigh the longest, I guess.

[recurve]

Did you ever want to go back there?

[deadthenred]

Once or twice, sure. But most of the places that matter are the ones you can't really go back to.

[recurve]

I know what you mean. They matter most when you're actually there and in your memories.

[deadthenred]

Yeah. Lehigh doesn't exist here, I checked.

[recurve]

Is there anywhere else you'd want to visit?

[deadthenred]

I got to see most of them, I figure.

But yeah— I'd like to go to the Grand Canyon. I've never seen it, 'cept on picture postcards.

[recurve]

It's really beautiful, Bucky. You absolutely need to see it.
