A CEO was a bad guy? A CEO is the hero of the people. They would never be evil!

I'll bet anything they don't even fire this guy.

Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

This is !offbeat, so

Well, there are a lot of these cruise ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that barefoot dancing isn't safe.

DeGiorgio is charged with assault within maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States. If convicted, he faces up to one year in prison.

International waters? That's a keel haulin'!

Put him in a straight jacket and keep him in solitary.

If it's on a ship, they'll lock him in the brig.

It's a cruise ship. Put him in the cadaver closet.
