Rear Admiral Bruni d'Entrecasteaux : Forgive me, but your son does not look at all like you.
Ageless Lobster: There are all kinds of families.
Rear Admiral Bruni: Indeed, but one must be careful these days.
Ageless Lobster: I hope you are not insinuating that our relationship is something distasteful.
Rear Admiral Bruni: Certainly not. But I couldn't help noticing the skewers.
Ageless Lobster: Ah. They are not not for the rescue, but in case I come across a snack.
Rear Admiral Bruni: You may do, but down here they are difficult to tell from the snackers.
Ageless: I pride myself on being a competent spotter.
Rear Admiral Bruni: I'm sure you do. Watch out for that stingray!
Ageless: Where!
Rear Admiral Bruni: Only kidding. Not far now. Have you thought about how to get back?
Ageless: I had a red paper submersible, but Black Jack ruined it.
Rear Admiral Bruni: That thing?
Ageless: I laundered it, but now look. It's in tatters.
Rear Admiral Bruni: Something else will come up. It always does under the ocean.
Ageless: Look! Coming towards us!
Rear Admiral Bruni: Sea dragons! Your submersible must have attracted them!
First Ruby Sea Dragon: Have you come to watch the rescue?
Rear Admiral Bruni: Rescue of what?
Second Ruby Sea Dragon: Of Baby Pierre. Someone is coming to rescue him shortly.
Ageless: That's me. I am already here.
Rear Admiral Bruni: It is. I can attest to it.
First Ruby Sea Dragon: Ooh!
Second Ruby Sea Dragon: Ooh, super! It's happening.
Baby Pierre (from under a gaggle of ruby sea dragons): Daddy! You're here!
Ageless: My son!
Baby Pierre: I knew someone would come and find me.
Ageless: Yes, me. You knew it?
Baby Pierre: No, I didn't know it would be you. I thought you were on Woody Island, spotting ruby sea dragons, but look, there are lots of them here!
Ageless: Yes I see. Lots of them. Do you think anyone would miss a short skewerful?
First Ruby Sea Dragon: Joking right?
Ageless: Ha ha NO!
He spears the First Ruby Sea Dragon with the skewer, and attacks the Second, who flees.
Rear Admiral Bruni: I say! Rescue first.
Ageless (chomping on the bony tail of the first Sea Dragon): Rescue first? No wonder you.....
Rear Admiral Bruni: Are you about to insult me?
Ageless: Of course not.
( He was. But thought better of it, as he has no idea how to get back.)
