An elderly couple stands at the railing of a boat at night beneath a starry sky and crescent moon. The man wears a navy captain's uniform and tips his cap; the woman in pink holds a glass of wine. She asks, 'Joseph, do you think you'll ever settle down?' He replies, 'Oh Gwen. You know I only have one true mistress — my stable of sluts.' A caption clarifies the seemingly scandalous line: 'Specifically, Joseph was referring to stable 4.' Votey: a close-up of the captain's grumpy face. He says, 'Used to be into The Sea, but she got clingy,' anthropomorphizing the ocean as a needy ex.
