The scaly captain takes the ticket.  In a somewhat amusing fashion, he holds it to the side of his head in order to view it, as he apparently cannot see straight ahead.<br/><br/>"Mmmmm hmm", he says, almost as if he were looking at something very interesting.<br/><br/>"Ahhhh, I see...", he then says, as if having come to some grand realization.  The fish-man courteously offers the ticket back, holding it out in front of him.<br/><br/>"I have no idea what this says.  I apologize, but I do not read your Earth-tongue gibberish turned into scratches on these pieces of paper.  To save us each some trouble, just get on board and we can be off.  I trust that you're the Earth female who needed a ride.  Just climb up and let me handle the rest."
