It's a brazilian bottom.

The difference is subtle,

But it does cover a tad More than your basic thong.

-because I knew what you'd say.

Look, believe me, I did A lot of soul searching

Before I agreed to do this.

I weighed all the pros and cons.

-you realize the chief Is going to have a cow

When he sees this.

-well, you know, I'm not A fulltime lifeguard, mitch.

I do have the right to Earn outside income.

-that's not the issue. -what is the issue?

-when you became a lifeguard, You took an oath

Not to discredit The department.

-you think I'm Discrediting the department?

-I don't think this is The image of lifeguard

The county wants to project.

-you didn't Answer my question.

-personally, whatever You do in your own time

Is nobody's business But your own.

As long as it's legal.

-what about captain thomas?

-captain, they need you in The first aid room right away.

The fax machine is Jammed, this is turning

Into a full scale media circus.

-and to make matters worse, I just got off the phone

From the mothers of The junior guards.

She wants to come and Pick up her daughter.

If I were a parent, I'd feel the same way.

We are supposed To be role models.

Whether we like it Or not, the public

Holds us to a higher standard.

-wait a minute, Are you telling me

You don't trust donna With those kids?

-I didn't say that. -well, then what are you saying?

-that donna posing in the nude

Of being a good lifeguard.
