EXT. BLUE BAY SCHOOL - LATER

Cheerleaders perform a sensual dance on the porch of a wooden

pagoda. A rugby team runs drills on the grass, as out on the

bay, six tiny racing sloops tack toward the docks.

ANGLE ON DOCKS:

As the sloops enter the narrow channel between the slips one

student from each boat jumps onto the dock where he or she sets

about tying off the boat.

Sam is on one of the boats. Jimmy Leach is at the rudder.

SAM:

(loud enough to be heard

by his class)

Okay, you guys. Good work. Now coil

those dock lines and I'll see you all on

Monday.

He watches his class clamber up the docks. His eye falls upon

the pagoda, the dancing cheerleaders -- Kelly Van Ryan in

work-out tights -- bare arms reaching for the sky.

EXT. SCHOOL DOCKS - SAM & JIMMY - LATER

hosing down boats, stowing sails. They look up as...

A HUGE POWER BOAT glides past. The docks rock in its wake.

JIMMY:

All right. I could party on that.

Sam just laughs at him.

SAM:

That's about all it's good for.

(beat)

That's the one to have.

He points to a beautiful triple-masted schooner headed out of the

bay, under sail.

SAM:

The Windward Passage. I crewed on that

one summer.

(beat)

Long time ago.

He pulls his eyes from the boat, sets about coiling a line.

JIMMY:

You know, I want to thank you for

getting me into this class... No way was

my old man going to spring for the

fees...

SAM:

Hey, you're working for it.

(beneath a laugh)

Least you're supposed to be.

He tosses Jimmy the coiled line. Jimmy's caught off-guard, but

catches it at the last second, then shares the laugh with Sam.

VOICE (O.S.)

Can I play too? Or is it just for boys?

Sam and Jimmy turn to find Kelly Van Ryan at the far end of the

dock. She's fresh from cheerleader practice, in a white blouse

knotted at the bottom to REVEAL a flat, tanned stomach; open at

the top to REVEAL the swelling of her breasts. She favors Sam

with a coy smile.
