1:09:02
Then you'll answer
to the grave.
1:09:06
Commodore Devereaux
is dead.
1:09:09
Pour yourself
a drink.
1:09:11
- You're lyin'.
- Read it yourself.
1:09:16
Steve Tolliver's the new head
of Devereaux and Company.
1:09:18
Tolliver's the man you're sailing for...
if you ever sail again.
1:09:22
But you won't.
1:09:24
You stood on
your last quarterdeck.
1:09:28
But you know that
better than I.
1:09:30
Tolliver won't let even
a lobster crate take you aboard.
1:09:33
I tried to get rid of him
for you.
1:09:35
I'd have had him three years
on a hell ship, lost and forgotten.
1:09:38
But you made a fine picture
of yourself tonight!
1:09:41
Fought like ten men,
didn't you?
1:09:44
Smashed up the toughest men
I could send, didn't you?
1:09:47
Saved your fancy friend
so he could be your boss. And what for?
1:09:52
So you could pound your brains out
on a rum keg on the beach!
1:09:56
What did you come here for?
To smash up the only friend you've got.
1:10:01
And that...
Claiborne girl.
1:10:04
She'll stick with you
on the beach.
1:10:06
You'll sleep on the beach
and scratch for food,
1:10:09
but she'll sew your filthy rags
together, if you ask her to.
1:10:14
Only you won't
ask her to.
1:10:16
You're slow in the head,
but you're more of a man than that.
1:10:19
Steve Tolliver will
marry her after a while.
1:10:22
- She'll be raising his
kids while you're...
- Shut up about her!
1:10:26
Or I'll tear that jaw
out of your face.
1:10:30
You don't have
to lie down, you know.
1:10:33
They need 10,000 blacks
in the Mississippi basin.
1:10:36
Black men bring
a dollar a pound.
1:10:41
I'll put you back
on the quarterdeck of a ship.
1:10:44
You take her to the gold coast,
load her with black ivory.
1:10:47
In two years, you'll own your own ship;
in ten, you'll own a fleet.
1:10:51
Your own house flag
on seven seas.
1:10:53
- Too slow.
- Slow, with the job I'm offering you?
1:10:55
The devil with that job!
I've got a job for you.
1:10:59
- Do you know what cargo
the Southern Cross carries?
- Teak.
