Re: Ben and Moira's Tampa Bay Mansion... Part 1

[Pockets]

Cynthia: She is quite a beautiful boat.

[Cryonix]

Ben: Thank you very much. All the amenities that one could want: Beautiful kitchen, steam room, hot tub, pool, game room...if your up for a little billiards later. Yes, my friends...this is one of our second homes.

[Pockets]

Cynthia glances over.

Cynthia: One of?

[Cryonix]

Ben: Yeah. I have two other yachts. One in Rio and one off the coast of New Zealand.

[Pockets]

Cynthia nods.

Cynthia: I know of people who would be jealous.

[Cryonix]

Ben: Meh, money really never mattered to me. I just have a knack for making it....in spades.

[Pockets]

Cynthia: You know, I would never have thought I would ever hear someone with money saying it didn't matter.

[Cryonix]

Ben: Really? Why?

[Pockets]

Cynthia: To most of the people I grew up with, money was of the highest importance... and what could be done with it.

[Cryonix]

Ben: Ah, yes. The 'almighty' dollar. Meh, I've always had it...so it never seemed that important. Please...come aboard. Make yourselves comfortable.

[Jabberwocky]

Frank:"Ben, you of all people should know how much 'media' has changed the past few years. These guys might have control in things like the papers and television, but there are a few things they do not have control over."

[Cryonix]

Ben: Well, on that we agree, Frank. Come...I'll have my staff make up some lunch for us while we relax. Anyone up for hitting a few off the tee? Moira's gotten really good, actually.

[Jabberwocky]

Frank:"God, I haven't touched a club in years.."

[Pockets]

Cynthia: Another thing I haven't done... it was a gentleman's game....

[Cryonix]

Ben: Oh nonsense. Come on.

The four go to the driving green on the other side of the ship where there are golf clubs and balls already in stock...

Ben: Frank, care to go first?

[Jabberwocky]

Frank picks up one of the drivers, examining it closely. He puts it down and looks at another one. He puts a ball on the tee and looks out.
His stance is perfect as he looks down at the ball and swings. His eyes remain fixed on the tee as the club strikes the ball with a loud crack.
After a moment he looks over as the ball travels, almost perfectly straight, going 335 yards before hitting the water.
He shakes his head a bit, handing the club to Ben

Frank:"I'm rusty, sliced that a bit."

[Cryonix]

Ben: Rusty, he says.....heh, right.

Ben steps to the tee and places a golf ball down. He gives a perfect swing and the ball goes 400 feet on a line out to the ocean. He playfully hits Frank in the shoulder...

Ben: Before you make any jokes about a black man's balls going longer...just know...it's all true.

[Jabberwocky]

Frank smirks
Frank:"You can't brag about having a longer shaft at least"

[Cryonix]

Ben: Well...these are practice clubs...

[Pockets]

Cynthia: You're trying to hit them out into the ocean?

Moira: Yeah, it's fun....

She smirks.

Moira: Jus' imagine it's your bloody ex... but try not to throw the club.

Cynthia tries to imitate the men's stance, looking helplessly at Frank.

[Jabberwocky]

Frank walks over, helping Cynthia with her stance
Frank:"See the tee? Keep your eye fixed on that and swing away."
he gives her a kiss and steps back

[Pockets]

Cynthia nods and takes a deep break.

Cynthia: Imagine my ex?

She swings the club and makes contact.

Moira: 'Oly shite!

They all watch as the ball sails a good 200 feet past where Ben's ball had hit the water.

[Jabberwocky]

Frank stares dumbfounded at his fiance

Frank:"I think I found the real reason none of those men wanted you to play golf with them..."

[Cryonix]

Ben: Yeah...that's...incredible....

[Pockets]

Cynthia blushes and Moira smirks.

Moira: Somethin' told mey that would work....
