* Julie: Welcome aboard!
* Gopher: Lobby's this way, we'll get you sorted out right away!

* Gopher: Is it my imagination, it is Captain Stubing in a rotten mood?
* Isaac: He's in a rotten mood.
* Julie and Doc go to Gopher and Isaac.
* Julie: Well, I think I know the reason.
* Julie: Mr. and Mrs. Skoggstad are sailing with us today.
* Adam: And that's bad because...?
* Julie: Mr. Skoggstad just bought the whole cruise line.
* Julie: It's his first time visiting the shop, so he's going to check every single detail.
* Julie: If he doesn't like what he sees, he can fire us all... Captain Stubing included.
* Gopher: Oooohh.
* Adam: Something tells me we're in for some rough waters ahead.

## Level 2 - A Confusing Encounter

*Stacey’s special order requires some hard to find ingredients, better start looking!*

* Julie: They should be here any minute now...
* Issac: Wait... If Mr. Skoggstad’s the new owner, shouldn’t the Captain be here too?
* Julie: Apparently he said he had some duties to take care of... whatever that may be.
* The audience grins.
* Julie: Anyway, I’m sure he’ll have dinner with them tonight at the captain’s table.

* Gopher: It’s such an honor.
* Julie: And Mrs. Skoggstad. How nice to meet you.
* Julie: You’re in cabin 348. That’s on the promenade deck.
* Julie: And if there’s any way I can make your trip more pleasurable...
* Julie: Please don’t hesitate to ask.
* Stacey: Then be a dear, and bring a fossilized sea urchin omelette with plankton butter and sun dried boxcar willie tomatoes to your cabin in thirty minutes, would you?
* Stacey: Oh, and a glass of orange juice too, thank you.

* Sandy goes to contact Julie.
* Sandy: Excuse me, please, is there a newsstand on board?
* Julie: A newsstand? You’re in luck, we just opened one right here in the lobby!
* Sandy: Oh...
* Sandy: And is this the only place that sells magazines on this ship?
* Julie: It is. Is everything okay?

## Level 3 - The New Boss

* As Julie reads the catalog, Sandy comes down to the lobby.
* Sandy: You know, maybe everything’s not really fine...
* Julie: You don’t say.
* Sandy: I’m Sandy. I’m getting married to Brad - Congressman Brockway - once we get to Ensenada.
* Sandy: Well, I need to make sure he doesn’t see a particular picture of me that’s coming out in a particular magazine.
* Julie: Why? What’s the magazine?
* Sandy: Kitten...
* Julie: Kitten Magazine? That must be some picture!
* Sandy: It was a long time ago, and it never surfaced... But they found out I’m gonna marry Brad, so now...
* Sandy: I just can’t let him find out! At least, not before the wedding... I can’t risk it!
* Julie: But Sandy...
* Sandy: Please, I need to get all those magazines. And I need your help...
* Julie: Of course, it’s just right now I have to go deliver something...
* Sandy: Oh, but it’ll just be one second, just--
* Brad comes down to the lobby.

* Gopher: I know but-
* Gopher: Omelette!
* Julie: GOPHER, NO!!

* Julie opens the dish.
* Stacey: What is this?
* Julie: Fossilized sea urchin omelette with plankton butter and sun dried boxcar willie tomatoes.
* Julie: And it wasn’t exactly easy-peasy to get it, I must say.
* Stacey: No. I mean what is THIS?
* Stacey: You got it totally wrong. I said orange juice, not apple juice.
* Julie: Oh, okay! Er, no problem! They have plenty of orange juice at the bar.
* Julie: I’ll go and pick some up right away.
* Stacey: Yes, of course. That would be perfect.

* Stubing: I’m sure it will be just fine, Isaac.
* Gopher: Our most important guests have already been notified, and they’re all excited to meet the captain.
* Stubing: ALL of them?
* Gopher: Well, I still haven’t told Mr. and Mrs. Skoggstad...
* Gopher: To be honest, I’ve been trying to build up the courage...
* Stubing: Well you’d better build it up fast, or it might as well be a breakfast invitation.
* The audience grin.
* The Captain leaves the lobby.
* Isaac: I see his mood hasn’t exactly improved.
* Burl: Maybe he’s afraid of Mr. Skoggstad.
* Isaac: I’d be more afraid of the missus...
* Gopher: In any case, I hope they see he’s a good captain, behind his winning personality.

### Outro

* Stacy walks around and looks around.
* Gooher appears with the crate.
* Burl: Oh, Mrs. Skoggstad, I’ve been looking for you. I wanted to tell--

* Stacey: We’ll have to get rid of it.
* Julie appears to interact with crates.
* Stacey: How many glasses like these do we have on board?
* Gopher: Uhh... A lot?
* Stacey: Really? What kind of yeoman purser are you if you can’t even keep a proper inventory?
* Gopher: One that can’t keep a proper inventory?

* Lorraine enters the lobby.
* Gopher: That's not exactly reassuring... She's still the new owner's wife.
* Lorraine: I'm sorry, I'm in room A-114...
* Looks like people come from the stars or the deck.
* Lorraine: They told ne I'd have a cabinmate, but the ship's about to set sail and no-one's come.
* Julie: Room A-114... No, I'm afraid your cabinmate hasn't arrived yet.

* Stacey: I'm afraid they are, my dear.
* Gopher: But cups are made from porcelain!
* Stacey: And porcelain is made from glass - so you still have some work to do.
* Stacy and Aubrey walk to right.
* Stacey: You know, I'm beginning to think this crew isn't fit to run this ship...
* The bosses leave to the right. Captain enters the pool.
* Gopher: Porcelain made from glass? Since when?
