- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [to young woman wearing hot pants and skimpy top] Excuse me, are you Anne Bishop?
- Anne Bishop: Depends.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [takes off her sunglasses] I'm Sergeant St. John of Palm Beach Police.
- Anne Bishop: You don't look like a cop.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Well, you don't look like a dive shop owner.
- Anne Bishop: This is Palm Beach.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: I'm sure.
- Anne Bishop: Hey, I've got a bone to pick with you.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Yeah, what's up?
- Anne Bishop: Yeah, I got all my stuff back from your evidence guys, except my econo scuba knife. Serated blade about a foot long, not cheap.
- [shakes her head]
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: I'll have the station check it out.
- Anne Bishop: I'd appreciate it. So, I thought you homicide detectives worked in teams?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: We do. My partner's on his way back to Miami now.
- Anne Bishop: So what's he like?
- [smiles]
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Ryan? He's okay. Actually, he's more than okay.
- Anne Bishop: Is he... single?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Beg your pardon?
- Anne Bishop: Hey, most of the male customers I get around here can double for Moby Dick.
- [Cassy chuckles]
- Anne Bishop: Any chance I get to meet a good-looking guy, I... I grab it.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Well, I'll tell you what. I'll have him come over and ask you some questions.
- Anne Bishop: [smiles] I'd appreciate that.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Hey, what do you know about Madelein Kidd?
- Anne Bishop: Nothing more than what I got off the driver's license when she rented the gear.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Did you know she was alone when you rented to her?
- Anne Bishop: I always try to buddy people up, but... she was adamant about going solo. She had a sea card, she knew the risk.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Did she ever mention the Santa Marta?
- Anne Bishop: She didn't mention much about anything. But... divers are like that. One of the reasons they love the sport. Divine silence. So, uh, do you dive?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: I took a weekend course in Cayman last year. But I just don't have much of a chance to dive around here.
- Anne Bishop: Well, what about your partner?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Well, Sergeant Ryan and the ocean aren't the best friends. He was caught in a riptide when he was five.
- Anne Bishop: Mm. Too bad. Diving is like total freedom. No rules, no regulations. You can do anything you want down there. You know what the best way to dive is?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [shakes her head] What's that?
- Anne Bishop: Totally nude. Not a stitch. The water on your skin is just like a... all-body massage. Shame you won't reconsider.
- [shakes her head]
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Well, I'll tell you what, you broach it to him like that, and, uh...
- Anne Bishop: Yeah, worth a shot.
- [on her way]
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [chuckles skeptically] Yeah...
- [follows]
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Loved treasure hunting when I was a kid.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: For birthday parties?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [with laughter in her voice] No, real treasure hunting.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: In Texas? I thought the only time you guys saw water was during flash floods.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [chuckles] Treasure can be buried anywhere. I must have dug up half that town.
- Anne Bishop: [now wears skimpy bikini] This is a nautical chart of the Palm Beach coast. The Santa Marta wreck is here
- [indicates]
- Anne Bishop: and... this is where the Coast Guard found Madelein's body.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Any obvious place to hide stolen treasure?
- Anne Bishop: [shakes her head] Not around the wreck. Too much chance another member of the salvage team would find it. Well, there's, uh... there's a reef about halfway between the wreck and where the body was found. Lots of nooks and crannies.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: So we can make a search of that area?
- Anne Bishop: Sure you can, but... remember that it took four hundred years to find the Santa Marta, and that's a hell of a lot bigger than what you're looking for.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Okay. Thank you.
- [on her way]
- Anne Bishop: By the way...
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [looks back] Yes?
- Anne Bishop: Where is your partner?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Uh, taking care of the paperwork.
- Anne Bishop: You wouldn't be keeping him away from here, or would you?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: What makes you think like that?
- [Anne smiles knowingly]
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Oh. Oh, you think we have a thing.
- [smiles]
- Anne Bishop: [smiles] Aren't you...?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [chuckles] No. Not a chance.
- Anne Bishop: How come...?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Well, we used to be married.
- Anne Bishop: Oh.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Yeah.
- [on her way again]
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [spying on the Captain in his office talking to Frannie's ferns] Who's he got in there with him?
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: I don't know. It doesn't look like anybody.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: No, he's talking to someone.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Probably himself.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Out loud?
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Hey, you do it all the time.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: No way!
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Shopping lists, cases you're working on.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: No, I write those things down.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: [laughs] Yeah, first you talk to yourself.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Delusional. You are becoming delusional.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Yeah, right, I'm imagining all this. You want a coffee?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Yeah, thanks.
- [he goes off, and she murmurs:]
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: People talk to themselves.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: [jumps back] I heard that.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [chuckles] It's a joke.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Right.
- [goes off again]
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: [to herself:] It is a joke.
- [last lines]
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: What are you up to, snorkel boy?
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: I just decided it was time I overcame my phobia.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: And since when are you afraid of brunettes?
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Not brunettes. Going under the water.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Oh. Are you going to do it nude? Experience the all-body massage?
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: Yeah, I think I'll do it nude.
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Well, just remember one thing.
- Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan: What's that?
- Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John: Cold water makes things shrink. You know.
- [Tom realizes what she means]
