CAPT. KEVYN: Hi, Kevyn.  I'm you.

CAPT. KEVYN: Okay, that's not quite true.  I'm you as you'll be seven weeks from now.

KEVYN: I'm going to be captain?

CAPT. KEVYN: Yes.

Err... no.

Maybe.

CAPT. KEVYN: Let me try again.  I used to be you, and now I'm seven weeks older and I'm me, but that doesn't mean you have to end up like me.  In fact, I'm here so that you can work with me to make sure that the conditions that resulted in me don't happen to you.

SFX: *interrupting* BOOOM
