Oh, Ken.
Welcome back.
Thank you.
We hear you were in a hospital.
Yes, I was. I learned a few things there.
Yes? Like what?
Well, when you were in the hospital...
Yes?
You have to be patient.
Oh!!!
I think I'm back.
I think you are back.
I think so too.
Welcome back.
Thank you.

(patient = 我慢する、患者)

So Katie, what's another situation going to be like?
They switch roles.

Let’s hear it.
Yeah.

                              • -


It's starting to snow again.
It's never ending. I'm sick and tired of shoveling snow.
You've got cabin fever.
That's putting it lightly. In fact, I've been looking into popular snowbird destinations.
You have?
Uh-huh. How about living in a warmer climate during the winter?
We'd never be able to afford that kind of lifestyle!
Never say never.

You sound like a British secret agent.
Call me Shirley Bond.

                    • -

Well, Ken, it's great to have you back again.
Yes. Thank you, Katie.
I bet you were sick and tired of being in a hospital.
Oh, well, it was not that bad.
Oh-oh.
I'll answer that question tomorrow with a little bit of humor.
Oh, okay.
I can't wait.
You can look forward to it. Yeah.
But it wasn't the same without you.
Yeah.
Oh, thank you.

Yeah!! Welcome back.
Thank you. Thank you.
So Ken, you were going to tell us about the hospital.
That's right.
How was it?
Oh, yes. What was the question?
Well, we thought maybe you were sick and tired of being in the hospital.
Right.
No, no, no. They really treated me well.
Oh!
Okay.
And they were very nice ...
Yes?
... every one of them. It wasn't bad at all.
That's good to hear.
I really thank them for their hospitality.
Oh!!! Hospitality.
I'm back.
You are back.
You certainly are, 100%.

So Jeff, what's another situation going to be like this time?
Well, they seem to laugh at anything.

                              • -


Is that you, Gator?
He he he he ... Harvey?
Yeah. How's it going over in Tucson?
I'm actually thinking of retiring.
Are you serious?
Yup. And I'll give you an offer you can't refuse.
What's that? Your old job?
Even better. I was wondering if you'd like to buy the RV that you rented last summer.
Oh, man. Let me tell you, that's one cool RV! How much are you asking?
Ten million dollars!
You've got to be kidding.
Yes, I am.
Oh!

                      • -

Well, it must be good for health.
Well, I have to say ten million dollars shocked me.
Oh, yeah. Well, that's about it for today.
Are you serious?
Yes, time just flies by.
Wow!
Well, I'll give them an offer they can't refuse here.
OK.

Harvey or not Harvey.
Really?
The real title is “RV or Not RV.”
It doesn’t make much difference though.

                        • -

So Katie....
Yes.
What's another situation going to be like this time?
Well, Ken, they're talking about Europa, a moon of Jupiter.
エウロパ木星の第2衛星。 the 4th largest of Jupiter's satellites; covered with a smooth shell of frozen water)

                                • -


I've come up with a brilliant plan!
What's that, dear?
Let's buy a rocket and go to Jupiter and live on Europa! Gator made me a good offer!
You know as well as I do that we can't dig into our savings.
It'd be a great investment.
How so?
We wouldn't have to pay for expensive interplanetary fares and space hotels.
(interplanetary = 惑星間の)
What about fuel?
You know as well as I do that we can make fuel from space garbage.
It sounds nice, but it's not a workable plan.
You know something?
No, what?
They get Rajiei on Europa.
We're going!

                      • -

Oh, they can get Rajiei.
Yeah.
Actually, I've come up with a brilliant plan.
Yes?
Let's broadcast from Europa!
Oh!
It sounds nice, but is it a workable plan?
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe not.

So Jeff, what's another situation going to be like?
Well, this is kind of fun. Princess Oto and Taro Urashima are discussing their future plans.

                                    • -


Oto, I've got an even better plan.
Okay, Taro?
We could free up some shell cash by selling the castle and downsizing.
What are you driving at? That we live in a yacht or something for the rest of our lives?
Let me finish. We'll buy a small condo and I'll let you decide where we live.
I can live with that.
Yes!
Somewhere by the sea.
Of course, where seaweeds abound.

Yes, we need salad for every meal. Will you be cooking?
We can take turns.
Okay. How should I learn the language?
Oh, that's no problem. There's a perfect text book for you.
Oh! Look at this lady Katie. She looks so nice!
And this man Jeff is a nice guy too.
Oh!
Me, turtle, think the other guy Ken is very nice too.
Oh!
Do you think so?
Yes, of course!
I'm not forcing you to say that.
No!
No, no.

Fun conversation at the bottom of the sea, so it's time, but we've got more for tomorrow.
Oh, we can live with that.
Great!
