Jodan, dear, we have a very upset whale out there. What would it hurt for you to be kind to her? Just for tonight. Then she'll go back to the Pier and you'll be here and everything will work out fine.

*the seal manages to crawl behind the bar and positions himself strategically just below the sloptray*
(nursing lip) I wish I'd brought the hound now. Or even the albatross...

As if to answer the President's question, about an acre of sequined organza thunders up, and its occupant consumes yet another of Reefgirl's drinks before she gets the chance to touch it.
Not even David Attenborough has seen a whale this mad, this close...

Checks her watch. Calling it a night? It's barely dinner time. 
It isn'nt nice to upset a whale and then beat a hasty retreat leaving the rest of us to deal with her.

It's dinner time in Ohio 
And I've prepared an 18 course dinner for the Vice Presidential staff in the VP Suite 
So I'll unfortunately have to miss the chainsaw Bar Mitzvah or whatever it was.

I'm just waiting for his to sue for palimony.
