VICKI:
I like their enthusiasm. Let's face it, we've got the ideal situation. You pull out the starfish and the sea urchins and you've got their attention. You can see the enthusiasm start bubbling up. And I get enthusiastic when I work with the animals, so we're on the same plane on that. . .

[she chuckles]

. . . We're having fun down there!
