*Climbs up the rigging.*
Hi Shagbark! I got you a tee shirt...
*Holds up one of the 
tees that she picked up for the entire crew. She shows him the name of the ship printed across the back in large bloody letters.*
Don't get up, I'll just set it down here out of the wet for you.
*Orders refreshments from the dumbwaiter, then sits back against the mast with her bare feet up on the rigging. She watches the sun beginning to set over the tropical island. Sips . Sighs contentedly.*
In a minute I'll let the rest of the crew know about the tees, but right now this is bliss...
*Tops up Shagbark's *

I am looking out over these southern seas...and they are everything you'd want; balmy breezes, coral reefs, sandy beaches, palm trees, volcanic mountaintops and you know what? I have a desire to pull up the anchor and set sail for Norway. Have you ever seen the fjords? I heard, or maybe I read it, that the fjords there won a prize.
What do you think?

*A plug comprising several months of dust and pelican feathers flies out of the speaking tube*
Pardon? Did someone say Norway? Or was it the parrot being homesick again?

*Picks feathers off herself and out of her drink. Gets up and brushes off Shagbark. Goes to the speaking tube. Pours her drink down it including the ice cubes...*
Yes! Norway in the summertime! The glaciers! The blue waters! The towering crags of the fjords! The terrible rock bands! Great knitters there! Let's go! This is not a parrot speaking! I'm out of ice!
Glad you like the shirt, Shagbark!

Well, we don't seem to be moving.

Did he say to lookout for iceburgs??
*Gazes out over the idyllic tropical isle of the Marquesas. Notices the ship is pulling up anchor. Shouts back down the speaking tube...*
No iceburgs in sight yet. Say, I wonder if there are Iceburghs in Norway??
