Key: ::Sitting back down, placing a fresh sundae in front of Sprague and another sundae down for himself:: “Boy oh boy, if only they could see me now!”

Sprague: “Who?” ::Takes a big mouthful of sundae, the remnants dribbling down onto his chin::

Key: ::Finishes mouthful:: “My previous colleagues on the ships that I’ve served on. It’s taken me 20 years to get a promotion, but here I am! Lieutenant (JG) Don Key!”

Sprague: “It must have been your lifelong ambition! I see a bright future ahead of you my boy!”

Sprague & Key: ::Clink their spoons in mid-air in a toast::

::The ship is rocked heavily, lurching the two men towards the aft of the ship::

Sprague: “I only have one more question for you.”

::The ship is rocked again::

Key: “Which is?”

::The ship is rocked violently for a third time, the two men remain either oblivious or ambivalent::

Sprague: “Do you like any baked goods? Pies, pastries, that sort of thing?”

Key: ::Grins widely:: “Where do I start?!”
