Regatta 500

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Yaticus9? Are you there?

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
You bet!
How's things, Kid Vic?

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Not bad. I can only do one race tonight, though, I've got a test tomorrow

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
What on?

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Comparative cultures, India-Pakistan

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
'47, Pakistan created
'65, second war with India
'88, Benazir Bhutto elected Prime Minister
'07, assassinated

[ MICHAEL ]
Write that on your hand!

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Damn, you're good! Wish you could take the test for me. Do we look enough alike? What do you look like?

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
Uh...

[ LUKE, spoken ]
What are you wearing? Just kidding!

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
What do you look like?

[ LUKE, spoken ]
How am I supposed to answer that? My friend Suze says I look all-American

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
Is Suze your girlfriend?

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Kind of, yeah. I'm trying to break it off, though, I'm not into it

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
No?

[ LUKE, spoken ]
No, I think she's getting pissed at me. I keep telling her I'm too tired to hang out, then I come home and race you for, like, nine hours straight!

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
Ha ha!

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Aw, I can't believe I just told you that, we've never even met!

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
It seems like we've been friends forever

[ LUKE, spoken ]
How come you know so much about India-Pakistan?

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
History buff. Most of the stuff they teach you, you don't need to know

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Our teacher's pretty good, I'm just having trouble concentrating on school at the moment

[ MICHAEL ]
Really?
Where does your mind go?

[ LUKE, spoken ]
I-I don't know. Are you in school, too?

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
Those days are long gone, my friend

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Really? Job?

[ MICHAEL ]
Nope, I'm one of the lucky ones

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
Dad worked hard so I could be a man of leisure

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Must be nice! So you have a real boat? Not just a crazy, pimped-out Regatta 500 one?

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
A real boat? Kid Vic, I have a Sunfish, a Catalina 27, a Blue Gill, and a traffic-cone orange dingy I've had since I was ten

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Damn, you're my hero! Wish my dad worked harder

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
Ha ha, you're funny. The Catalina's my pride and joy, I call her Sigrid. We should take her out sometime, you'd love her

[ MICHAEL ]
White sails, tailor steering
A clear day, wide companion way
No one, outboard engine
A soft sun, seven knots and we're there

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Where?

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
My island. You gotta see it for yourself

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Island?! Hey, what's your real name, anyway? Mine's Luke. Wait, let me guess yours. Samson?

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
Ha! Magic hair might be nice. It's Michael

[ LUKE, spoken ]
We should probably get racing, Michael Yaticus! I gotta hit the books by ten

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
Okay. Ready when you are. But hey, what are you doing this weekend?

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Don't know, why?

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
Come out with me and Sigrid, first time this year

[ MICHAEL ]
Maiden voyage!

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
It'll be great to have you along

[ LUKE, spoken ]
You don't even know where I live

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
Well, you put in your sailor's profile that you're in Kansas, and that cove you described where you and your dad went sounded like it might be Lake Proctor. If you're anywhere near Proctor...

[ MICHAEL ]
I could have you up and back in a day!

[ LUKE, spoken ]
Woah, you should be a detective! That's crazy! There's people from China on Regatta 500 and we're only a couple hours away?

[ MICHAEL ]
I guess it was meant to be

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
So how 'bout it?

[ LUKE, spoken ]
I'd love to, but my folks would never let me

[ MICHAEL, spoken ]
Tell them it's a boy scout trip!

[ LUKE, spoken ]
I'm not a boy scout

[ Michael, spoken ]
Tell them that you're headed west! That you've set your sights on paradise! You'll think of something
What's your address?
