STEVIE: Thanks for letting me borrow your boat!
JAY: Of course! Happy to! Looks great! You got all the covers tied, all the lines coiled?everything's stowed perfectly! I didn't realize you were such a sailor!
STEVIE: Oh, that's probably 'cause I never touched it at all this whole time
[[Beat. JAY gives STEVIE a hard look.]]
JAY: You BEGGED me to lend you my boat and then you never?
STEVIE: I just wanted to see what it would feel like to be the kind of person who HAD a boat
JAY: And how did
STEVIE [[interrupting]]: Pretty okay, actually!
