Sam and Suzy seek out Cousin Ben at a scout camp to help them escape their families and potentially get married. Cousin Ben offers them a non-legally binding ceremony while warning them of the moral weight of their decision, leading to a brief but intense moment of doubt between the young runaways.
COUSIN BEN: Is this him?
SAM: Field Mate Sam Shakusky, Troop 55, resigned.
COUSIN BEN: He’s hot. Almost too hot. What’s in the can?
SKOTAK: Seventy-six dollars -- but it’s mostly in nickels.
COUSIN BEN: Give it to me. [Cousin Ben takes the can] You badge in seamanship?
SAM: Yes, sir.
COUSIN BEN: Good. There’s cold-water crabber moored off Broken Rock. The skipper owes me an I.O.U. We’ll see if he can take you on as a claw cracker.
