At the coffee shop on King Street, Joe asked, "Remember that week we spent on Kauai? That was a good time." "Yeah, the Na Pali coast," Max said. "Some place," Joe said. "The whole damn island should be a world park." "I remember that story you told us about the leper who wouldn't go to the colony." "Koolau," Joe said. "He defeated the British Navy.
