:45:01
Capt. Disko!
:45:05
Capt. Disko!
:45:06
That Jennie Cushman,
she is even now under our stern!
:45:09
She come make you happy, I think!
:45:12
The Jennie Cushman? I might've known it.
:45:17
Yes, sir.
:45:18
That's her nosy, long topmast
prying into our wake.
:45:25
Hey, there! On the Cushman!
:45:28
Where's that poor excuse for a skipper
you got aboard?
:45:32
And who is it might be wanting him?
:45:34
You know consarned well who wants him,
you bilge-raised haddock!
:45:39
Well, if it ain't Disko Troop.
:45:42
And me thinking
I was gonna fish here all alone.
:45:45
Who passed you the word I was here
so you could follow me, Disko?
:45:49
Now look here, Walt Cushman.
:45:52
I'm sick near to retching...
:45:54
at you using my brains
to catch a trip of fish.
:45:57
Sailing under my wake
every time I find a good spot.
:46:01
Why, Capt. Troop.
:46:04
Now, is that the way for one gentleman
to talk to his colleague in commerce?
:46:08
You're trailing me 'cause I can find cod...
:46:11
where you can't find
half a pound of sick squid.
:46:15
I'll do the fishing, Disko...
:46:17
you just get out that checkerboard and
try to figure out how really smart you are.
:46:22
So what, he beat you at checkers
last winter, huh?
:46:25
Yeah, and he cheats at that, too.
:46:28
He'll beat us into Gloucester
this trip, too, I think.
:46:30
Oh, you think so, do you?
:46:32
Well, now, listen to me,
I'm gonna tell you something.
:46:34
I ain't so dumb.
:46:36
Fussing around like that will make him
think the fishing is good here.
:46:40
Then, in the morning,
when the fog banks roll in...
:46:43
we'll sneak out and leave him sitting here
baiting big and catching small...
:46:48
while we're out finding fish.
:46:51
We'll have a full hold
and be tied up in Gloucester...
:46:54
by the 1st of August,
and he'll still be out here...
:46:57
floundering around, trying to catch fish...
:46:59
or I'll look more like a halibut
than he does.
