1:03:01
She were a big black three-master.
Break your heart, it would.
1:03:05
£12 000 sterling of the finest grade oil they
took. We been out more than two years, see.
1:03:10
And her course?
1:03:12
Maybe a point south of west,
following the rest of the fleet.
1:03:15
Mr Pullings, enter these men's names
into the ship's books.
1:03:18
Mr Allen, set a course.
West by south.
1:03:22
All hands, make sail!
1:03:24
Sir, should we not take
on fresh provisions?
1:03:27
Mr Mowett,
there's not a moment to lose.
1:03:44
- Jack, have you forgotten your promise?
- Subject to the requirements of the service.
1:03:49
I cannot delay for the sake
of an iguana or a giant peccary.
1:03:52
Fascinating, no doubt,
but of no immediate application.
1:03:56
There is, I think, an opportunity here
to serve both our purposes.
1:04:00
As I understand it,
this is a long, thin island.
1:04:03
You need to sail around it.
I could walk across it.
1:04:06
I have known you to spend hours
staring into a deserted bird's nest.
1:04:10
I could walk briskly, pausing only
for important measurements.
1:04:14
Making discoveries that could advance
our knowledge of natural history.
1:04:18
If wind and tide had been against us,
I should have said yes.
1:04:22
They're not.
I'm obliged to say no.
1:04:27
Oh, I see.
So after all this time in your service,
1:04:30
I must simply content myself
to form part of this belligerent expedition,
1:04:35
hurry past wonders, bent on destruction.
I say nothing of the corruption of power...
1:04:40
- You forget yourself, Doctor.
- No, Jack, no.
1:04:44
You've forgotten yourself. For my part,
I look upon a promise as binding.
1:04:48
The promise was conditional.
I command a king's ship, not a private yacht!
1:04:52
We do not have time for
your damned hobbies, sir!
