A line from Billy Tyne

The fog's just lifting. Throw off your bow line, throw off your stern. You head out to South channel, past Rocky Neck, Ten pound island. Past Niles Pond where I skated as a kid. Blow your airhorn and throw a wave to the lighthouse keeper's kid on Thatcher Island. Then the birds show up, black backs, herring gulls, big dump ducks and green legged coots. The sun hit ya , head North, open up to 12, steamin' now. The guys are busy, you're in charge. Ya know what? You're a goddam swordboat captain! Is there any thing better in the world?

Skip, what are we gonna do about those numbers? They suck.

Captain Billy Tyne

The boys are talking? About how I lost it? Billy Tyne's lost it? Things get a little slow they're ready to draw and quarter you. I didn't think you would go along with them.

Bobby Shatford

It's not that, Skip. I'm out here because I need the money.

Captain Billy Tyne

You know, last trip I thought you had something to offer. But you know, you're just a punk.

Bobby Shatford

Hey, you promised me a shitload of fish!

Captain Billy Tyne

You'll get a shitload of fish. I've gone out before and motored back with so much stock little boys like you had to pack it on the pier. I always find the fish, always! And I will this time. So don't **** with me!

Bobby Shatford

[after a momentary pause]

Aye-aye, Skip.
