[Video clicks on, to reveal a skinny young man in his mid twenties. His eyes are wide and darting, and he wears an expression of deep concentration, right up until he realises he's broadcasting. Then, he becomes animated:]

Yo! I got some words for your Admiral here! I know I'm not dead, and I would remember if I'd been nicked, so you got no right hauling me in, man, no right!

[He keeps glancing off screen as he says this, as if he's expecting someone to enter his cabin at any time.]

Look, this isn't even my yard, all right? I was staying with a mate - a couple of mates, actually - so you've just gone and jacked their place out from under them, haven't you? Nicked right off with it and stuck it on your stupid boat! So where are they going to live, eh? You just made two innocent people homeless, mate, so who's the villain now?

[He puts one hand on his hip, apparently waiting for an answer. He manages to go about thirty seconds before giving an unhappy huff and putting his hand on his stomach.]

Bare starving as well. It's a fucking joke, this is.

Then why's your boyfriend kicking off on me? I was just going for a drink with a nice girl and suddenly I'm the villain in your domestic!

I don't know; he thought I was flirting with you, I guess.






Which I guess I was a little bit. A little bit. But only because I did not know he felt like we was a thing.

So he's so insecure that you can't even go for a drink without him giving you grief, and you're so insecure that you go from being a free and easy single lady, to being all tied up and off the market just because he told someone else that he felt like you were a thing?

He didn't even say it to you, and suddenly you're rethinking whether you're allowed to flirt with me.

That's pretty weak.

Hey. Hey. You got it all wrong, okay? I wasn't really on the market, and it ain't about who I'm allowed to flirt with. It's just-- it's fucking complicated, okay? I wasn't even going to try to do anything with you, I was just thinking-- hey, if Mason don't like me the way I like him, maybe I'll flirt with this other cute guy. Just for fun.

I'm not insecure.
