• Oldsen : How's the water? Cold?

  Marina : Not as cold as it should be. The North Atlantic drift comes in here. That's warmish water from the Caribbean. That's why it's special here. There's stuff fetching up here all the way from the Bahamas.

  Oldsen : Oh, that's a long way.

  Marina : You swim?

  Oldsen : Not that far.

• Oldsen : [referring to the grey seals]  Sailors used to think they were mermaids, yeah?

  Marina : [gives him a sharp look]  Aye, they did. They were wrong.

• Oldsen : Holy mackerel! What's happening?

  Marina : It's just the northern lights. Aurora borealis. High energy protons spilling over into our atmosphere. They get through the magnetic shield were it's weak at the poles.

  Oldsen : It's still beautiful, I don't care what you call it.

• Oldsen : [kissing down Marina's leg]  You taste salty.

  Marina : You're on the fresh side.

  [continues kissing Marina's bare foot]
