Speaker 1 (00:21):
I spent the last fifteen years in my life fighting
like hell to make sure that I never ended up here.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I'm not used to riding shotgun. You should don't want
me to drive.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I know, money, it feels good to get behind the
wheel once in.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
A while, But the island pulled me back.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Like an undertooe.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I love that sea air.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Nothing like it. Hey, I think you missed a turn.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I didn't miss anything. We just have a quick drop
to make first.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Then, so I thought you was going to hurry to
see her.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
All right, we'll get to her soon.

my way ashore.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
While we stopping.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Because we're here at the beach.
Speaker 1 (01:12):

up a fight, I was already dead in the water.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
We both were. So we're making the drop here.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You could say that, Marcus, what the fuck is this
due diligence. Let's gotta move on, shall we? If you'd
be so kind as to lend a handy.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It's okay, I'm gonna figure this out. That's what a god.
I'm gonna let anything happening. Thanks, I gotta take it
from here. Okay, you made your point. Just give me
a chance to talk to it.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
I gave you that chance.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And you blew it. I know I fucked up, but
we ain't gotta do this. You've left me no choice.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Stop.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
Please, I'm sorry, but this is what happens when you
don't follow waters.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Nicholas.
Speaker 7 (02:11):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
A week ago, I thought I finally had a shot
at getting free of this place once and for all.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
But a week ago.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I hadn't met her.
Speaker 8 (02:44):
Underwater episode one the first night.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You're my right?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (03:18):
That depends, are you, mister Nicholas Alexander?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Only my boss calls me Nicholas.
Speaker 9 (03:25):
All right, Well, then let me be the first to
welcome you to the island. Nico. Uh, can I help
you carry one of your suitcases?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I'm good, I got it.
Speaker 9 (03:33):
Sorry. Most of the folks I drive to this, you know,
want to be waited on hand and foot as soon
as the Hilland not that there's anything wrong with that.
The resort pays me to make sure everyone feels taken
care of.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
What's your name? Uh?
Speaker 9 (03:45):
Diego, sir?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
All right, listen, Diego.
Speaker 10 (03:48):
You don't need to watch your mouth around me, all right?
Speaker 9 (03:51):
Whatever you say, boss, popular guy.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
That's my I'm on the deadline.
Speaker 9 (04:04):
Well, you picked the perfect week for a business trip.
The island is beautiful this time of year.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, I remember, Oh you visited before.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Something like that.
Speaker 10 (04:23):
Is the music, Okay.
Speaker 9 (04:24):
I want to make sure your trip starts on the
right note.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
It didn't even mean to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
We almost now.
Speaker 9 (04:32):
It won't be long now, desinos all the way at
the southern tip of the island. But we're making good time.
So when we were down here last you don't mind
me asking fifteen years ago, it looks different. I'd say
it's been so built up I barely even recognize it sometimes,
(04:52):
and I've lived here my whole life.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, it must be rough watching all these tours just
take over everything.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
It's not all bad.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
I wouldn't have this job without them. And trust me,
driving to him from the airport all day beats the alternatives.
I'm saving up to open my own little tour company
down here, though. I'm a good enough talker and I
know all the local gossips. Plus I want to get
some of that tourist money flowing into my family's pocket.
You got kids, not yet, but I've got two little
(05:23):
sisters who might as well be mine.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Can we go any faster.
Speaker 9 (05:33):
I'm glad you asked see.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
You that way.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I do love you anyway. Yeah, yeah, of course I'll
keep you posting.
Speaker 9 (06:12):
Damn, that's one demanding job.
Speaker 11 (06:15):
Man.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You don't know what to happen.
Speaker 12 (06:24):
Afternoon, sir checking in.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, name is Nicholas Alexander.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
M m ah, yes, I see you've booked one of
our deluxe few ocean suites.
Speaker 12 (06:36):
Excellent choice.
Speaker 10 (06:37):
Yeah, if you could just point me in the right
direction in my room, of.
Speaker 12 (06:40):
Course, sir.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
But at first I'd love to walk you to some
of our all inclusive offerings.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's not that kind of true.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Excuse me, yes, it drops a key, my hero, you go.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Nego You okay, boss, you look like you're having a
sunstroke or something.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
No, I was.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Just I apologize, sir. Diego has a tendency towards over familiarity.
Speaker 12 (07:24):
Just one moment. You are not on a first name
basis with our guests.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Show some respect.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
Diego and I are getting along just fine.
Speaker 12 (07:33):
Oh I'm sorry, mister Alexander is fine.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I just don't like seeing my friends get pushed around,
of course, so can I please get my key?
Speaker 12 (07:44):
Of course you'll be staying in sweet one oh two.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
I'll have one of our porters show you to your
suite Diego. I have another pickup for you at the Diego.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Can you show me to my room?
Speaker 12 (07:58):
Oh uh, certainly.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Thanks for that. No, that's all good, don't tramp.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
Here's your not so humble a vote for the week.
I hope it's to your liking.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, this will do. So.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
This is your sitting room. The bedroom is through there,
and there's an outdoor shower on the patio if you
want to freshen up before you go. Looking for that
woman from the lobby. I noticed you noticing her.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, she's hard to miss right.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
Whole place has been buzzing about her ever since she
got here. You're gonna try and mix a little pleasure
in with your business.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, we'll see. How would you like to pick up
a little extra cast this week?
Speaker 9 (08:54):
I wish I could, but I'm on the schedule pretty
much every day and I.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Can make it worth you.
Speaker 11 (08:59):
Why, I'm pretty sure that's more cash than I make
in a year driving.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
The job does come with some perse.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
No offense, boss, but I try not to get mixed
up in jobs to get paid out from mystery envelopes
of cash.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Don't worry, You're not getting your hands dirty. I just
want to make sure you stay available. I'll s five
hundred a day, so.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
It'll do. All I ask is that you stay close. Okay,
we'll do.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
And thanks.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I've been down to get a moment to myself since
I left New York. But as soon as I did,
I realized it wasn't just the present that was haunting
me on this island.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
It was the past too. Fuck am I doing here?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Everything I heard, smelled, and taste it here dragged the
past a little closer to the surface. And that would
have been just fine if it was just the good memories.
But as for the bad.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Mom where are you?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I kept those farther little surface for the reason.
Speaker 12 (11:24):
Good evening, sir.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Are we waiting for anyone?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, just gotta grab a drink.
Speaker 12 (11:30):
Of course, you'll find the bar just through there out
in our terrace.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
Okay, what'll look very handsome?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
You got a million?
Speaker 7 (11:57):
This is your first day, Justina?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, yeah, checked in this afternoon.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
I knew it definitely would have remembered seeing you around.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
You can't possibly keep track of every single guest that stays.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Here, of course, not just the cute ones speaking of,
I'll be with you in a sec vibe.
Speaker 13 (12:20):
Take your time.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
I'll see what she got your eye on.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
She's not on the menu, my guy.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I'll settle for the bourbon there that.
Speaker 11 (12:29):
I can do.
Speaker 12 (12:30):
Hold the rocks?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Do you when you're a favor?
Speaker 6 (12:34):

Speaker 2 (12:35):
And how's that observe?
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Is this?
Speaker 9 (12:40):
He taken?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I have a feeling it's about to be.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
I mean, looks like you still need a drink.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I would love to buy you.
Speaker 13 (12:48):
I can buy my own drinks things, of course.
Speaker 11 (12:50):
Of course, But I mean just because you can doesn't
mean you should have to have this.
Speaker 13 (12:56):
If you can guess what my drink is, you can buy.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
It for me. Okay, okay, you're on.
Speaker 13 (13:04):
Apparrel sprints lax substance, Martine Tustagy. Oh oh now you're
just hurting my feelings.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh okay, well how about this?
Speaker 13 (13:19):
Oh sorry, three strikes baby? All right? Excuse me?
Speaker 14 (13:27):
Could I get an old fashioned like as a constellation

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Much obliged, have.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
A have a good life.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I planned to.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Usual you know it.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
It was a trick question.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Sorry my drink.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
There was no way he.
Speaker 13 (13:54):
Could have possibly guessed it because Elena invented it for me.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
It's a seek.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You're good?
Speaker 7 (14:04):
Oh, I almost forgot?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Wait, why you need a blow towards?
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Did show the pineapple? Obviously?
Speaker 13 (14:17):
Oh, Elena, it's perfect.
Speaker 15 (14:24):
I know.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
You too enjoy?
Speaker 13 (14:29):
Can I tempt you into trying one of these?
Speaker 5 (14:31):
They're pretty delicious?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I'm cool, but thank you.
Speaker 13 (14:35):
Ah a whiskey man, very original look.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I like to keep things simple. It looks a little
sugary for my taste.
Speaker 13 (14:44):
Don't underestimate it. It may look sweet, but it's strong
as hell. You're right though, it's probably a bit too
complicated for you.
Speaker 10 (14:52):
All right, give it here.
Speaker 13 (14:54):
Can't resist a challenge.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Never, don't worry.
Speaker 13 (14:58):
You're gonna love it.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Trust.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Mmm mezcal pineapple obviously. The smoked sea salt rim is
a nice touch. Could use a little dash of cayenne, though,
but it's pretty good all the same.
Speaker 13 (15:15):
Oh that's some palette. I'm impressed. Are you a mixologist
or something?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I just know a thing or two about the local
flavors down here. Mm So what's this drink called? Just
in case I want to order another?
Speaker 5 (15:28):
It doesn't have a name yet.
Speaker 10 (15:30):
What if you were the inspiration is you name it
after you?
Speaker 5 (15:34):
I'll take that up with Elena.
Speaker 10 (15:36):
Good credit.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
What credits do?
Speaker 10 (15:40):
But if they were to name it after you, what
what they call it?
Speaker 13 (15:43):
Ana?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Hey, Hona, I'm Nico.
Speaker 13 (15:48):
You mind if I come closer?
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Nico?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Not at all?
Speaker 13 (15:55):
At least let me put your entirely uncomplicated whiskey on
my tip as a thank you for picking up my key.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I wondered if you recognize me.
Speaker 13 (16:05):
You don't exactly blend in, says the.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Person who seems even more out of place than not do.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
So.
Speaker 13 (16:13):
Where are you from?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Based in New York?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Ooh?
Speaker 10 (16:16):
Red flag? I la?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Then it's you supposed to be nice to my face
before you start talking shit behind my back.
Speaker 13 (16:29):
Maybe, but I'm not a big fan of doing what
I'm supposed to good.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I like how direct you are?
Speaker 5 (16:38):
You think I care if you like me?
Speaker 10 (16:40):
No, but I do have to admit that only makes me.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Like you more.
Speaker 10 (16:46):
Someone's a masochist? Why you into that exclusively?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Somehow? I can't tell if you're joking.
Speaker 13 (16:56):
Keep people guessing and you never have to give them
a straight answer.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Nico?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Is that what you're doing down here? Looking for answers?
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Who says I'm looking for anything.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Everyone who comes here is.
Speaker 10 (17:09):
Including you.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
I guess.
Speaker 13 (17:14):
If anything, I'd say, I'm looking for an authentic experience
of this place.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Well, you're not gonna find out here Thatstino couldn't be
further from what the island it's actually like. But lucky
for you, I happen to know a thing or two
about the real island.
Speaker 10 (17:33):
I can show you if you want.
Speaker 13 (17:35):
Oh yeah, you really think you can show me something
I haven't seen before?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I know it. I actually gotta call it a night.
Speaker 13 (17:48):
Oh okay, Hey, Nico, don't tell anyone.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
About my drink.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Your secrets safe with me. I'll see you later, Honor. Yeah, yeah,
(18:20):

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, it must be rough watching all these tours just
take over everything.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
It's not all bad.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
I wouldn't have this job without them. And trust me,
driving to him from the airport all day beats the alternatives.
I'm saving up to open my own little tour company
down here, though. I'm a good enough talker and I
know all the local gossips. Plus I want to get
some of that tourist money flowing into my family's pocket.
You got kids, not yet, but I've got two little
(05:23):
sisters who might as well be mine.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Can we go any faster.
Speaker 9 (05:33):
I'm glad you asked see.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
You that way.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I do love you anyway. Yeah, yeah, of course I'll
keep you posting.
Speaker 9 (06:12):
Damn, that's one demanding job.
Speaker 11 (06:15):
Man.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You don't know what to happen.
Speaker 12 (06:24):
Afternoon, sir checking in.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, name is Nicholas Alexander.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
M m ah, yes, I see you've booked one of
our deluxe few ocean suites.
Speaker 12 (06:36):
Excellent choice.
Speaker 10 (06:37):
Yeah, if you could just point me in the right
direction in my room, of.
Speaker 12 (06:40):
Course, sir.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
But at first I'd love to walk you to some
of our all inclusive offerings.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's not that kind of true.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Excuse me, yes, it drops a key, my hero, you go.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Nego You okay, boss, you look like you're having a
sunstroke or something.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
No, I was.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Just I apologize, sir. Diego has a tendency towards over familiarity.
Speaker 12 (07:24):
Just one moment. You are not on a first name
basis with our guests.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Show some respect.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
Diego and I are getting along just fine.
Speaker 12 (07:33):
Oh I'm sorry, mister Alexander is fine.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I just don't like seeing my friends get pushed around,
of course, so can I please get my key?
Speaker 12 (07:44):
Of course you'll be staying in sweet one oh two.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
I'll have one of our porters show you to your
suite Diego. I have another pickup for you at the Diego.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Can you show me to my room?
Speaker 12 (07:58):
Oh uh, certainly.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Thanks for that. No, that's all good, don't tramp.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
Here's your not so humble a vote for the week.
I hope it's to your liking.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, this will do. So.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
This is your sitting room. The bedroom is through there,
and there's an outdoor shower on the patio if you
want to freshen up before you go. Looking for that
woman from the lobby. I noticed you noticing her.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, she's hard to miss right.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
Whole place has been buzzing about her ever since she
got here. You're gonna try and mix a little pleasure
in with your business.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, we'll see. How would you like to pick up
a little extra cast this week?
Speaker 9 (08:54):
I wish I could, but I'm on the schedule pretty
much every day and I.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Can make it worth you.
Speaker 11 (08:59):
Why, I'm pretty sure that's more cash than I make
in a year driving.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
The job does come with some perse.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
No offense, boss, but I try not to get mixed
up in jobs to get paid out from mystery envelopes
of cash.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Don't worry, You're not getting your hands dirty. I just
want to make sure you stay available. I'll s five
hundred a day, so.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
It'll do. All I ask is that you stay close. Okay,
we'll do.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
And thanks.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I've been down to get a moment to myself since
I left New York. But as soon as I did,
I realized it wasn't just the present that was haunting
me on this island.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
It was the past too. Fuck am I doing here?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Everything I heard, smelled, and taste it here dragged the
past a little closer to the surface. And that would
have been just fine if it was just the good memories.
But as for the bad.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Mom where are you?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I kept those farther little surface for the reason.
Speaker 12 (11:24):
Good evening, sir.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Are we waiting for anyone?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, just gotta grab a drink.
Speaker 12 (11:30):
Of course, you'll find the bar just through there out
in our terrace.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
Okay, what'll look very handsome?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
You got a million?
Speaker 7 (11:57):
This is your first day, Justina?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, yeah, checked in this afternoon.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
I knew it definitely would have remembered seeing you around.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
You can't possibly keep track of every single guest that stays.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Here, of course, not just the cute ones speaking of,
I'll be with you in a sec vibe.
Speaker 13 (12:20):
Take your time.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
I'll see what she got your eye on.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
She's not on the menu, my guy.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I'll settle for the bourbon there that.
Speaker 11 (12:29):
I can do.
Speaker 12 (12:30):
Hold the rocks?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Do you when you're a favor?
Speaker 6 (12:34):
You know?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
And how's that observe?
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Is this?
Speaker 9 (12:40):
He taken?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I have a feeling it's about to be.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
I mean, looks like you still need a drink.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I would love to buy you.
Speaker 13 (12:48):
I can buy my own drinks things, of course.
Speaker 11 (12:50):
Of course, But I mean just because you can doesn't
mean you should have to have this.
Speaker 13 (12:56):
If you can guess what my drink is, you can buy.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
It for me. Okay, okay, you're on.
Speaker 13 (13:04):
Apparrel sprints lax substance, Martine Tustagy. Oh oh now you're
just hurting my feelings.

Oh okay, well how about this?

Speaker 3 (13:39):

A have a good life.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I planned to.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Usual you know it.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
It was a trick question.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Sorry my drink.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
There was no way he.
Speaker 13 (13:54):
Could have possibly guessed it because Elena invented it for me.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
It's a seek.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You're good?
Speaker 7 (14:04):
Oh, I almost forgot?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Wait, why you need a blow towards?
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Did show the pineapple? Obviously?
Speaker 13 (14:17):
Oh, Elena, it's perfect.
Speaker 15 (14:24):
I know.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
You too enjoy?
Speaker 13 (14:29):
Can I tempt you into trying one of these?
Speaker 5 (14:31):
They're pretty delicious?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I'm cool, but thank you.
Speaker 13 (14:35):
Ah a whiskey man, very original look.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I like to keep things simple. It looks a little
sugary for my taste.
Speaker 13 (14:44):
Don't underestimate it. It may look sweet, but it's strong
as hell. You're right though, it's probably a bit too
complicated for you.
Speaker 10 (14:52):
All right, give it here.
Speaker 13 (14:54):
Can't resist a challenge.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Never, don't worry.
Speaker 13 (14:58):
You're gonna love it.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Trust.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Mmm mezcal pineapple obviously. The smoked sea salt rim is
a nice touch. Could use a little dash of cayenne, though,
but it's pretty good all the same.
Speaker 13 (15:15):
Oh that's some palette. I'm impressed. Are you a mixologist
or something?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I just know a thing or two about the local
flavors down here. Mm So what's this drink called? Just
in case I want to order another?
Speaker 5 (15:28):
It doesn't have a name yet.
Speaker 10 (15:30):
What if you were the inspiration is you name it
after you?
Speaker 5 (15:34):
I'll take that up with Elena.
Speaker 10 (15:36):
Good credit.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
What credits do?
Speaker 10 (15:40):
But if they were to name it after you, what
what they call it?
Speaker 13 (15:43):
Ana?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Hey, Hona, I'm Nico.
Speaker 13 (15:48):
You mind if I come closer?
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Nico?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Not at all?
Speaker 13 (15:55):
At least let me put your entirely uncomplicated whiskey on
my tip as a thank you for picking up my key.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I wondered if you recognize me.
Speaker 13 (16:05):
You don't exactly blend in, says the.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Person who seems even more out of place than not do.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
So.
Speaker 13 (16:13):
Where are you from?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Based in New York?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Ooh?
Speaker 10 (16:16):
Red flag? I la?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Then it's you supposed to be nice to my face
before you start talking shit behind my back.
Speaker 13 (16:29):
Maybe, but I'm not a big fan of doing what
I'm supposed to good.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I like how direct you are?
Speaker 5 (16:38):
You think I care if you like me?
Speaker 10 (16:40):
No, but I do have to admit that only makes me.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Like you more.
Speaker 10 (16:46):
Someone's a masochist? Why you into that exclusively?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Somehow? I can't tell if you're joking.
Speaker 13 (16:56):
Keep people guessing and you never have to give them
a straight answer.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Nico?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Is that what you're doing down here? Looking for answers?
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Who says I'm looking for anything.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Everyone who comes here is.
Speaker 10 (17:09):
Including you.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
I guess.
Speaker 13 (17:14):
If anything, I'd say, I'm looking for an authentic experience
of this place.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Well, you're not gonna find out here Thatstino couldn't be
further from what the island it's actually like. But lucky
for you, I happen to know a thing or two
about the real island.
Speaker 10 (17:33):
I can show you if you want.
Speaker 13 (17:35):
Oh yeah, you really think you can show me something
I haven't seen before?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I know it. I actually gotta call it a night.
Speaker 13 (17:48):
Oh okay, Hey, Nico, don't tell anyone.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
About my drink.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Your secrets safe with me. I'll see you later, Honor. Yeah, yeah,
