1 {scene: on board a small ship cutting across the Aegean, bound for Santorini}
1 Monty: You know dad, we should hold some sort of memorial for grandad.
2 Monty: What with escaping the Nazis in Berlin and racing to Santorini to thwart their evil plans, we haven't had time to mourn.
3 Prof. Jones: Yes. Perhaps we should make some sort of offering to the wine-dark sea.
3 Monty: Good idea.
4 Monty: I know! Pour some of your whisky overboard, dad.
4 Prof. Jones: What?!

Okay, okay, that's a river barge, and in no way an open-sea-worthy vessel. I really didn't have time to build something more convincing as an ocean-going ship, I'm afraid.
