The Chlorinated Sanctuary of the Pool

The performers discuss the rare privilege of being allowed to use the ship's pools, describing the relief of swimming in chlorinated water compared to the resistance training of the ocean.

"When we finally get the opportunity to flap around in the chlorinated water, that's when we really shine."

"It really feels like resistance training swimming in the ocean."

Rick Rocket's Empty Lounge Residency

Rick Rocket admits he hasn't had a single guest in his lounge for four months but continues to perform loud trop rock covers every night, much to the chagrin of Evelyn who can hear him from her room.

The Shared History of Sleeping with George

The performers realize they all had a sexual relationship with a deceased crew member named George, including the ventriloquist's puppet, Georgie.

"He was the horniest man I ever met and I miss him every single day."

"Well, our naked bodies were together and what happened happened, you know."

CALLBACK

International Waters and the Final Countdown

The performers explain that they stay in international waters to avoid legal consequences for past actions, ending with Rick Rocket's 5,000-second countdown.

"Remembering that what you did in 1984 is why you have to stay in international waters."

"This episode is ending in 5,000, 4,999, 4,998..."

"All right, Rick, will you count us down to the last bit of the episode?"

"All right, guys, this episode is ending in 5,000, 4,999, 4,998"
