Summary

 * “Monkey in a Box”

Dexter is planning to leave Miami with Hannah, and move to Argentina. However, he must first sell his boat, Slice of Life. Dexter walks a potential buyer, an older man wearing a pink Hawaiian shirt, down to his marina slip and points out his boat, saying, “This one.”

“This one, oh. Oh, yeah. Looks pretty, “the buyer says, “Um, I’d like to get her inland before Laura hits.” Dexter asks, “Laura?” The buyer explains,“Tropical Storm Laura. They say she’ll make landfall in a few days.” “Ah,” Dexter remarks.

Once on board, Dexter describes his boat:

"'She's a 2001 Century 2901 center console. I had this custom rail put in. New paint. Has a radar, GPS, fish-finder, autopilot, emergency life raft. And I had these twin Yamaha 250 four stroke motors put in. They got just over 400 hours, and when you open them up and you're out there... (wistfully) there's nothing like it.”"

At which time, the buyer says, "Eh. Hoping she'd have a bigger beer cooler." A clearly disgusted Dexter replies, "Well, maybe she's not the boat for you."
