Hot Creek Amusing Transcript

Particularly Amusing Transcript:

*Fer steps out next to a boiling bool.*

Fer: So, just here is fine, right?  Close to the green and…

*Fer bends down with a tube in her (gloved) hand and waves it over the pool.  *

Peter:  I’m going to hold your back belt loop, don’t be freaked out.  K?

*Girls laugh*

Fer:  Which color do you prefer, or does it matter?  *Pause*  Amanda?

Amanda:  Uuuum, well, take…. samples from wherever and I’ll write it down as you go.

*Fer leans way in and collects a sample, dunking a tube with her gloved hand*

Fer:  Ah, it’s hot!  Hot hot hot!  *Fer transfers tube to other hand and shakes hand that collected sample.*

*Amanda audibly giggles in the background, even Peter lets out an audible chuckle.*

Fer:  Ah, this one is boiling.  For sure.

Amanda:  (Still amused) Okay.  (More concerned) Do you want a string to dunk those with?  Instead of your fingers to dunk them with?

Fer:  I think I’m good with gloves.

Amanda:  Okay….

Fer:  You should bring the pH paper also because I am already here.

Amanda:  (Starting in at “because”) Yes ma’am.

Fer: If you want.  *laughs*

Fer:  That is so cool, Peter, that hole in the middle?!

Peter:  *laugh* I know!

*pause for transfer of goods, steam rises out of the sample collection site*

Fer:  I don’t have any other rock.  I think I can, do you think I can put my foot there?

*pause*

Peter:  (Apprehensive) Um.  No.

Fer:  No?

Peter:  (Definitive) No.

Fer:   Okay.  Let’s get here then.

*Fer reaches way out for another sample, mutters something under her breath as she collects it, then flicks fingers like it’s “hot hot hot”*
