Diana: And, can I say, for people who have not showered in four days — you guys look great!
Dean: Yeah! Yeah, you do, yeah! And, hey, guys — Just because we’re stuck in the middle of the ocean, you know, with no working toilets… it doesn’t mean we can’t have some FUN! Alright?
Diana: Mmm-hmm!
Dean: Ah, but first — a tiny update.

Reggie Davis: Yes, yes! What up! [ he laughs ] You know — If Chris Rock were here, I’d bet he’d say: [ as Chris Rock ] “Don’t anybody wanna go on a cruuuuise? You’re all gonna DIE on this boat!” What else, what else, what else, what else…? [ he puts his hand to his face ] I’m sorry. Okay? I can’t tell no more jokes. There’s DOOKY on the WALL, man!

Diana: Yeah. The, uh, the Blue Iguana Cantina is now a toilet.
Dean: Okay, just in time. Okay, good. And the Bonsai Sushi restaurant is… well, that;s still a sushi restaurant, so you’ll want to get in there soon before it becomes a toilet!

Dean: That’s very true, okay? And on that note, I know some of you thought it would be funny — it was funny — to lie on the top deck upstairs and spell out the words KILL US” for the news helicopter? That’s not funny.
Diana: No, not funny at all.
Dean: Mmm-hmm. Don’t like it. We have to keep our heads up, and we can get through this thing together. Okay?

Dean: Uh-oh, that sounds like fun! Bring him up here!
[ The Captain appears, wearing one silver glove, and performs some not-so-funky dance moves ]
Dean: Okay.,, wow. So, I don’t need to tell you guys that was the Captain, obviously, who is clearly going insane.
Diana: Okay, guys — that about wraps it up. Remember, only ten hours until we reach…. [ raising the roof ] Mo-bile, Al-a-ba-maaaaaa!
