Takeshi: I can't believe how hot it is out there. Why didn't we go to Hawaii with everyone else?
Mike: Because we didn't have the money.
Takeshi: Well, why didn't we get an air conditioner?
Mike: Hello? Same reason. And quit complaining! We've got air conditioning.
Takeshi: Mike, that's a bowl of ice and a fan.
Mike: Takeshi, you've got to be more like me and use your imagination, then you too can have a beach vacation. See? (pulls down window shade with beach poster) Check out that gorgeous view.
Takeshi: Right, but not exactly “realistic.”
Mike: OK, come over here. Close your eyes. Feel that cool, ocean breeze.
Takeshi: Mike, that's the fridge.
Mike: Come on! I said “Use your imagination!” Now close your eyes. Listen to the sound of the seagulls…(makes sound like a seagull) hear the children laughing…(makes sounds like children laughing) Why, I think I can even smell a barbecue…(waves a package of hot dogs)
Takeshi: Raw hot dogs?
Mike: Don't worry. I'm going to cook them up on that grill over there.
Takeshi: Mike, you know you are not allowed to use a grill inside an apartment, right?
Mike: OK. I'll use the microwave oven.
Takeshi: A beach, with a microwave. Sure, Mike.
Mike: That’s the beauty of “Imaginary Beach.” We've got a microwave oven, we've got a TV with a remote control. Who could ask for anything more?
Takeshi: What about water? That's the main reason people go to the beach. What are you going to use for that? The bathtub?
Mike: No. That'd be silly. Here we go! (turns on CD player) Feel the ocean mist…(sprays water on Takeshi)
Takeshi: Mike, that's for spraying plants, not me!
Mike: You know, the sound of the waves, the ocean mist… makes me want to surf.
Takeshi: Surf?
Mike: Yeah, surf. (starts to fold up ironing board)
Takeshi: Mike, no. You can’t stand on that, you’ll break it!
Mike: No, I won't. (stands on ironing board and pretends to surf) Look at me, dude— I'm hangin ten!
Takeshi: Yeah, cool. (takes cap off water bottle) Hey, dude! Watch out for that wave! (throws water in Mike's face) Huh. I'm getting the hang of this imagination thing.
Mike: Very funny, very funny indeed! (chases Takeshi)
