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.
