Keani: *"What's up Pike?"*

Pike: *"Has it occured to ye that the seagulls on Paradise Bay be a bit...odd?"*

Wesley: *"Ahoy Keani! That old sea dog Pike said you could use some assistance."*

Keani: *"Hey Wesley! We are digging up an ancient dinosaur boat, we could use your help gathering some supplies."*

Wesley: *"Dinosaur boat?! I'll have you know I consider myself a bit of a dino expert!"*

Keani: *"I didn't know you liked dinosaurs Wesley! What is your favorite one?"*

Wesley: *"Why I love them all! But my favorite is the Spinosaurus..or maybe the Brachiosaurus....hmmm no the Ankylosaurus...."*

Keani: *"I'm sorry I asked...."*

Wesley: *"I almost forgot the Iguanodon, oh oh oh and the Velociraptor! Allosaurus......."*

Wesley: *"Triceratops...Parasaurolophus....Tyrannosaurus rex...."*

Pike: *"Keani, what be wrong with Wesley? Did he take a long walk off a short pier and bump his noggin?"*

Wesley: *"Everyone come quick! The seagulls finished the excavation!"*

Finn: *"Wow this is the coolest boat I've ever seen! Do you think dinosaurs used to sail the seas in this?"*

Wesley: *"More likely Paradise Bay's previous inhabitants Finn, I'm not sure dinosaurs would be very good at steering a boat."*

Keani: *"Wesley, as Paradise Bay's resident dino expert I think it's only fitting you keep this boat!"*

Pike: *"Yargh, take it lad. It don't be fitting me taste anyway."*

Finn: *"As long as you give me a ride in it whenever you want!"*

Wesley: *"That's mighty generous everyone. As thanks I'll tell you my theory on why the dinosaurs REALLY went extinct!"*

Keani: *"Oh I think I left my campfire on, I'd better check on it!"*

Finn: *"She might need help with that, I should follow her."*

FWesley: *"I guess it's just us two swashbucklers now eh Pike? So about that dinosaur theory..."*
