Norma: You know, honey, I am really looking forward to this. It's been years since I've seen the old gang.
Jack: Like who?
Norma: Well, like...Charlie Wilson, from accounting. You think he's gonna be there?
Jack: He retired.
Norma: What about Al Pinella...he had that lovely wife, Nancy.
Jack: Sacked.
Norma: Ed Berwitz?
Jack: Dead.
Narrator/Adult: And that about covered the full range of possibilities.
Jack: Detweiler'll be there, though.
Karen: Harry Detweiler?
Narrator/Adult: Harry Detweiler - the office clown. Big on palm-buzzers and whoopie-cushions. The one Dad had always referred to as -
Kevin: Mr. Deadwood, huh, Dad?
Norma: Kevin, that's not very nice.
Karen: Does he still have that stupid laugh?
Jack: Kinda...
Narrator/Adult: And suddenly, for the first time in weeks...Dad was smiling.
Norma: You remember that Christmas party when he came dressed as a reindeer?
Jack: Oh...(Chuckles) His nose lit up!
Kevin: Yeah, and then it caught on fire?
Narrator/Adult: And we were all laughing.
| (Kevin and Mimi in rowboat)
Narrator/Adult: Admiral Arnold to my close naval associates.
Mimi Detweiler: This is nice, isn't it?
Kevin: Uh...yeah - nice.
Narrator/Adult: Once I figured out what these big, wooden, sticks were for.
Mimi Detweiler: I can't believe I'm actually sitting here with Kevin Arnold!
Kevin: Huh?
Mimi Detweiler: Well, you were always kind of...My hero. Remember how I used to tag along after you? You must have thought I was a real pest.
Narrator/Adult: Nah...
Kevin: Nah...
Mimi Detweiler: And to think that my dad said you probably wouldn't be here.
Kevin: Really?
Mimi Detweiler: Well...after the promotion and all. You know.
Kevin: Oh...that. Sure.
Narrator/Adult: Still, just to clarify the position...
Kevin: What promotion?
Mimi Detweiler: The one my dad got. He's vice-president of the whole company now.
Narrator/Adult: But hold on here! Detweiler?! Mr. "Dead Wood"?
Mimi Detweiler: I guess your father...took it pretty hard.
Narrator/Adult: And suddenly, I didn't feel like boating anymore.
Kevin: Uh...I think it's time we started heading back.
Mimi Detweiler: Already?
Kevin: Uh, yeah, you know, it's getting kinda warm and, uh...
Mimi Detweiler: We could go swimming!
Kevin: H-here?
Mimi Detweiler: Why not?
Kevin: Well..we-we don't have our bathing suits or anything...And...and, besides -
Mimi Detweiler: Kevin...Who needs a bathing suit?
Narrator/Adult: And right at that moment I learned something. (Mimi begins to remove her shirt) When it came to maritime operations...
Kevin: Uh...Whoa-ohhhh...
(Kevin falls out of the boat)
Narrator/Adult: I was definitely out of my depth.
