Jordan sat at the helm and surveyed the broken radio before speaking to Candace. "This is not going to be easy. You're going to have to _____ all the strength you have in order to succeed."

"Do you remember what you're doing?" "Piece of cake," said Jordan. "Be sure to give him the proper coordinates; I'm not going down with the ship." "Oh, don't worry," snapped Candace. "Any shark that eats you will immediately spit you back out." "Ha-ha. Thanks for the _____ image of my certain death." "Oh, relax. Once we get out of this, I'll treat you to a[n] _____ lobster dinner on Maui. See ya later!" With that, Candace walked out of the bridge and jumped over the handrail. Jordan didn't even hear the splash.
