Speak for yourself.

I try to make that a habit.

In California, pool party season never really ends.

We're on the same territory. Clearly I have just never been invited to the November pool parties.

That's because you never knew me before. Don't worry, Mr. Stark. I'll make sure you're invited from now on.

I feel truly privileged, Elle.

As well you should.

Pools can never be over.

No, most objects tend to be inert. Seasons, however come and go...at least according to Bobbie Gentry.

Well, depends on how determined you are really.

But water stays forever.

To move something?

That's a good slogan for Fiji water.

Yes, all it takes is a little determination.

Good slogan for any water.

Personally I've never had a problem with it.

But if you're in it for the financial reasons it's Fiji all the way.

Neither have I.

Financial reasons? I do it for the sheer joy of water.

Environmentalist?

Pardon?

It's a water-lover, among other things.

I only love water.

Limited interests. Huh.

Water covers more space then land.

Damn.

Exactly.

It's hard to notice these things when you live in Virginia.

Then you wouldn't be missing much either way.

Yeah, D.C. is not pool weather. I don't think I've had a tan since college.

Ouch.

I was an east coaster myself. Once my father moved the family to California I never looked back.

Born and raised in Maryland; my West Coast experience is either hauling back felons, or borrowing a seat on my brother's company jet for an interleague series.

I'd introduce myself but it would only result in horribly awkward laughter.

Nice West Coast experience. I can't say I've heard that one before.

Let me guess. Your name is Dolores?

Comes with being a Fugitive Unit detective and having a brother who works for Major League Baseball.

No, actually -- Special Agent Stark Patrick, FBI.

*shakes her head and can't help from laughing a little*

*cracks a smile* That's a hell of a lot better than Dolores.

Your brother plays or just does some paperwork and gets some damn good tickets?

I was named after a friend of my father's. Sometimes I don't know whether to be annoyed or just amused by his taste.

My brother's Assistant Director of Scouting for the Orioles. He used to play, but injured his back in Double-A.

Must have been one hell of a guy. His last name or first?

*lifts brows* Impressive.

Last. U.S. Ambassador Russell Stark. I only met him once, but he seemed like a good guy.

Yeah, Kevin's still got it. I played, myself, but he was the better talent.

No relation. Bummer. He got docked a few points there.

And so you turned to the FBI?

Something like that. Law enforcement was always a consideration; it runs in the family.

I just got a new pool. You can swim in it..if ya want.

I might do that. Invade every LA pool before summer's over.
