Jeff Kane : We are looking to buy a boat.
Boatyard Owner : You sure can't have one for free... Ha-ha-ha
[laughter, slowing turning into hysterical cough; also declining any help offer with a hand-sign. All shocked, cough lasts for about 20-25 seconds, and at the end, he spits out, saying:]
Boatyard Owner : What kinda boat?
Jeff Kane : [totally confused] What?
Boatyard Owner : What kind of boat you're looking for?
Jeff Kane : Oh... aah... smallest one you got...
Boatyard Owner : Like a canoe?
[laughing, accompanied with small, scary cough]
Paul Thompson : A motor-boat... with a weak motor...
Boatyard Owner : A weak motor?
Jeff Kane : Weakest one you got.
Katie : He's gonna swim down the river to the city, and we need to ride next to him. So, you know, just anything that you could put along the side...
Boatyard Owner : You swim to New York City?
Paul Thompson : Yep.
Boatyard Owner : Some sorta charity type of thing? A dollar for a mile, or something?
Paul Thompson : Not really.
Boatyard Owner : Hmmm... Well, I got an old whaler, with an old 70-horse-power engine, couldn't outrun the turtle
[showing them to the coast, to the boat. Small cough and all move towards the coast]
Boatyard Owner : Twenty-four hundred bucks...
Paul Thompson : [almost immediately] Sounds reasonable...
Jeff Kane : Yea, I believe that's the going rate for all boats with weak engines.
Boatyard Owner : You folks done much boating before?
[small cough - everyone looking at each other...]
Katie : Uhmmm... I have. I went to the summer camp on lake Oregon. We had a water skiing, sometimes they let us steer a boat.
Boatyard Owner : Well, this boat couldn't pull the turtle, much less a skier.
Jeff Kane : What's with the turtles?
Boatyard Owner : [after a short pause] Piloting a boat is lot different from driving a car.
Jeff Kane : But, it, uh... starts with a key, right?
Boatyard Owner : Yeah. But it has no breaks for starters...
Jeff Kane : Neither did my last car. I think we will fine.
