SEAN:

Ever had a river-rage incident? Been cut off by a tug boat captain? Had words with a passenger ferry guy?

Sprayed by a speeding jet-ski jock?

MICHELLE:

Sean, I hate you in the mornings.

She ships the oars, climbs from the boat with a day pack.

SEAN:

You do know normal people don’t row towork, don’t you?

MICHELLE:

You should try it.

SEAN:

I don’t have an apartment near theriver, like you do.

MICHELLE:

You could ride a bicycle.

SEAN:

You mean the whole funny helmet skintight lycra thing? Where would I putmy gun? And my morning cup of joe? Dobicycles have cup-holders?

She ties off the skulling-boat, takes his coffee as she passes.

SEAN (CONT’D) You’re welcome.

As she heads into the houseboat, he sneaks a peek into theskulling-boat. Week old orange peels, half a banana, emptywater bottles, assorted food wrappers, socks and a sweat-top.

SEAN (CONT’D) (with a wry smile) Right there. That’s why we could neverget married.

He follows her into the houseboat, calling after her... SEAN (CONT’D) Hey, if I lived on the river we couldboat-pool. You could row and I couldsit in the back and read the Times all the way here to the office.

And then there are some numbers and letters together.
