影片对白:

Mike:My fourth hand didn't show up. Anybody wanna make 2 $ for a day's work around here? What's the matter? Nobody wants to do an honest day's work for an honest day's pay?

Man: He never pays.

Mike:Nobody wants the job?

Benjamin: I do.

Mike:You got your sea legs, old man?

Benjamin: I think.

Mike:That's good enough for me. Get your ass on board, we'll sure as hell find out!

Benjamin: I was as happy as I could be.

Mike:I need a volunteer!

Benjamin: I would do anything. Yes, captain!

Mike:Scrape off all this bird shit.

Benjamin: Right away, sir. I was actually going to be paid for something I would have done for free. His name was Captain Mike Clark. He'd been on a tugboat since he was seven.

Mike:Come here. Could you... still get it up?

Benjamin: I do every morning.

Mike:The old pole? The hard'n?

Benjamin: I guess.

Mike:When was the last time you had a woman?

Benjamin: Never.

Mike:Never?

Benjamin: Not that I know of, sir.

Mike:Wait a minute! You mean to say, you've been on this earth for many years, and you never had a woman? Damn! That's the saddest thing I ever heard in my life. Never?

Benjamin: No.

Mike:Then, by Jesus, you are coming with me. What did your father do?

Benjamin: I never met my father.

Mike:You lucky bastard! All father's gonna do ishold you down. I was on my father's boat, working a couple of days. This little fat bastard,"tug Irish" they call him. I finally get the nerves and tell him: "I don't wanna spend the rest of my life on a goddamn tugboat!" You know what I'm sayin'?

Benjamin: You don't wanna spend the rest of your life on a tugboat.
