• Capt. Vangs : The wind stinks of sin! All hands will proceed to the ship at once! We sail in an hour.

• Abner 'Ab' Bedford : The papers also guarantee reasonable shore liberty. That's all we want. It's not a favor. It's their right!

  Capt. Vangs : Oh, a sea lawyer, eh! Bedford, under my command you have two rights. First, the right to do precisely what I tell you to do. And, second, the right to a Christian burial if you fail.

• Capt. Vangs : Bedford, are you fool enough to contemplate mutiny on a ship of mine?

  Abner 'Ab' Bedford : No, sir. I'm only asking for shore leave. These men need to drink water that doesn't taste of wood. They need fruit! They need to feel solid ground under their feet for awhile. They need to relax.

  Capt. Vangs : Relax? And I know what the relaxation is! Drunkenness and worst than drunkenness. Lust! The flesh! Those filthy naked girls of Dooley's!

  Abner 'Ab' Bedford : We're only men, Captain Vangs. Not saints.

• Capt. Vangs : Keep that filthy heathen scum away from me!
