1:02:01
He won't see you.
1:02:06
Noelani?
1:02:12
- If only I'd had a chance to save it.
- You had that chance.
1:02:17
I mean its soul.
1:02:21
I mean the child.
1:02:38
I'm carrying too much whale oil to make
a run back to the whaling grounds,
1:02:41
and not enough for a trip
to New Bedford.
1:02:43
That happens.
1:02:46
Make me a fair offer
and the lot is yours.
1:02:48
Since Doc Whipple joined the business
we've stopped buying odd lots of oil.
1:02:53
Why?
1:02:54
We'll store it for you,
1:02:56
and trans-ship it with other odd lots
when we have a full cargo.
1:02:59
Charge you a fair fee for the service.
But we won't buy anything.
1:03:03
It's Doc's idea.
1:03:05
From now on, we don't own,
we just handle.
1:03:07
Well, I'll be damned.
1:03:09
You don't put up
a dollar of your own money,
1:03:11
and yet you handle anything
that passes in and out of the port.
1:03:14
For a fee, of course.
1:03:16
An honest burglar
would use a gun.
1:03:19
Well, for people
who came here to do good,
1:03:21
you fellows have done pretty well,
don't you think?
1:03:24
I believe the Reverend Hewlett in Honolulu
is going in for the sugar cane business.
1:03:28
As a matter of fact,
Doc's going there
1:03:30
to open a branch
for us to handle it for him.
1:03:33
You're worst than locusts.
1:03:34
- When can I move my whale oil?
- In the morning.
1:03:37
I'm shorthanded as well.
1:03:38
I need a cook, seven or eight
healthy kanakas at $5 a head.
1:03:42
We can supply the cook, but we
don't handle native labor anymore.
1:03:45
Why not?
1:03:46
The practical reason,
Hawaiians are becoming too scarce
1:03:50
to ship from these islands.
1:03:52
The humanitarian reason,
we won't use force to round them up.
1:03:56
Dr. Whipple?
