:53:03
Weevils.
:53:08
The crew will take it badly.
Warley was popular.
:53:13
Have they expressed
any feelings on the matter to you?
:53:23
Jack, before answering,
I'm compelled to ask,
:53:26
am I speaking with my old friend
or to the ship's captain?
:53:31
To the captain I'd say
there's little I detest more than an informer.
:53:35
- Now you're talking like an Irishman.
- I am an Irishman.
:53:38
Well, as a friend, then.
:53:40
As a friend, I would say that I have never once
doubted your abilities as a captain.
:53:46
Speak plainly, Stephen.
:53:50
Perhaps we should have
turned back weeks ago.
:53:54
The men... of course
they would follow Lucky Jack anywhere,
:53:58
rightfully confident of victory.
:54:00
But therein lies the problem.
You're not accustomed to defeat.
:54:07
And chasing this larger, faster ship with
its long guns is beginning to smack of pride.
:54:13
It's not a question of pride.
It is a question of duty.
:54:16
Duty. Yes, I've heard it
well spoken of.
:54:19
Be as satiric as you like. Viewing the world
through a microscope is your prerogative.
:54:23
This is a ship of war. I will grind whatever
grist the mill requires to fulfil my duty.
:54:28
Whatever the cost?
:54:30
Whatever the cost.
:54:32
To follow orders with no regard for cost.
:54:35
Can you really claim there's
nothing personal in this call to duty?
:54:39
Orders are subject
to the requirement of the service.
:54:42
My orders were to follow him as far as Brazil.
I exceeded my orders a long time ago.
:54:50
Got it.
:54:55
The wind's backing, sir.
:54:58
Sir, we just can't hold
this westerly course any longer.
