We have miles of public beaches, a swimming pool, and the finest marina anywhere in the world. The same thing can happen...

(Actually, the credit goes to the New York production of Thieves' Carnival, from which this idea was later borrowed for Volpone in New York and here.) Liker dances well indeed, though he seems a bit heavy...
