"Don't make any plans for after work, any of you. And here, Illya. I'm afraid you're going to need to take this later, chum."
"Motion sickness pills? We are going out onto water?"
"shouldn't be anything rough, but why take chances?"
"My stomach and I already blame you for whatever is to come, April."
"What a lovely boat, Napoleon."
"Thank you, April. I'll tell Aunt Amy that you approve. It belongs to her. She just purchased it this summer."
"Why are you laughing, Mark?"
"Didn't you see the name of the boat, luv? It's Odette."
"Why does that ring a bell?"
"Odette is the name of the Swan Princess in the ballet Swan Lake."
"Coincidence or did you talk your aunt into renaming the boat?"
"Coincidence. The name came to Aunt Amy when they told her the name of the boat model."
"Let me guess. Swan?"
"Nautor Swan 36, to be precise. We'll have a little cruise around the harbor to admire the lights and then have some supper at the club. Considering Illya's stomach, I thought eating after would be better for all concerned."
"I am medicated and the water seems fairly calm, but I appreciate the thoughtfulness, Napoleon."
"And this fulfills your lyric very nicely. I should have studied the song better before saddling myself with number 8."
"Maids a'milking, isn't it? Looking forward to how you work that one out."
