After tapping on Skipper Jack's exclamation mark
	Are you the catch of the day or can I reel you in for a closer look?

	touches Skipper Jack's bicep Hurt!
	I see right through you! And I'm totally game...
	Oh, you are?

	Wait. Where are we?
	We're at my girlfriend's office — she's a couple's counselor.
	What? What's going on? Is this some kind of open relationship thing you're in?
	No. I thought since you're a married woman and you made some very clear and not subtle advances toward me that you and your husband, Kirk, could use some couple's counseling.
	I don't need couple's counseling. What I need is a drink.

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Skipper Jack's exclamation mark
	Hey look! It's Skipper Hack! Have you seen my WIFE lately?
	Uh. Are you trying to insinuate something?
	As a matter of fact, I am! Captain Marriage Ruiner!
	Uh... look. I can't talk right now. The day's catch won't sort itself. If you lend me a hand, we can get back to you accusing me of something I didn't do afterwards.
	I'd pay you for your troubles.
	Well, I'm only saying yes because I need the money. Afterwards we can discuss the fact that you're having an affair with my wife!
	That is patently untrue, Kirk.
Task: "Make Skipper Jack Sort the Day's Catch". The job takes 4 hours. If Kirk is owned: Task: "Make Kirk Help Sort the Day's Catch". The job takes place at The Rotting Pelican and takes 4 hours.
	All right. The fish are sorted! Accuse away!
	What were you doing with my wife?!
	I took her to my girlfriend's office!
	Ew! So it was an open marriage thing?!
	No! She's a couple's counselor! I took Luann there because clearly you two have marital problems.
	Duh! Captain Obvious!
	It's SKIPPER Obvious.
