Panel 1 [Lawrence bows over to scrawl in his book. Ezra looks amused.]
EZRA:
Hah. Takin’ notes?
LAWRENCE:
It’s interesting information. Do you suppose we’re in a state now where we would lower for blackfish?
Panel 2 [Ezra nodding with a slight frown, rtaking a coin from his pocket]
EZRA:
Think so. Everyone’s gettin’ a bit antsy. They’ll need to be satisfied with some barrels soon, no matter how few.
Panel 3 [Close up of his hand in the foreground, coin balanced on his thumb. Lawrence in the background looks at his hand with a slightly puzzled expression]
Panel 4 [Close up of Ezra flicking the coin up with his thumb]
Panel 5-8 [A series of small panels stacked atop each other as the coin flips up in the air and spins down to drop into the sea with a 'bloop']
Panel 7 [Shot over Lawrence's shoulder, Ezra smiling at him.]
LAWRENCE:
What was that for?
EZRA:
Payin’ Old Nep for some luck. Bit o’ respect gets you a long way.

Adore this idea of paying the sea little respect. Something as insignificant as a (probably) copper coin, in something as vast and corrosive as the ocean, that will not only swallow it whole but dissolve it completely… and yet it may just move the needle
Ezra will court every little bit of goodwill he can get from the sea.
