MAN
Well hello. Say, you look like a lady who can appreciate a fine gelato. I thought maybe we could…
THE CAMERA ZOOMS OUT TO REVEAL HE IS ALSO WEARING WATER WINGS AND AN INFLATABLE RUBBER DUCK STYLE FLOATIE.
MAN
(CONT’D)
Oh, I can see by your face you’ve noticed my floaties. Yeah, you see the thing is I never learned how to swim as a kid, then I found out Manhattan is an island. That means it’s surrounded by water! (Makes “mind blown” gesture) So, I figured why chance it? But all that is about to change. I’m learning how to swim here at the YMCA! (Patting his rubber duck floatie on the head) That right, Mr. Quacksy, your days are numbered.
Because let’s face it; swimming is romantic! The water glistening under the moonlight…or fluorescent pool lights, either one is nice. (He begins petting Mr. Quacksy’s head. Perhaps after my next swim class you and I could play a little Marco Polo?…
No, that’s not happening is it?
