He'd make a good pirate.

He's showing off to the girl.

He is thrilling.

Anybody could do that with practice.

Well, not now.

We'll be late for church.

Ah,

you cute little rascal.

Hey, you're getting prettier every year.

Hey, how old are you now?

Eighteen. Next Tuesday.

I'll see you Wednesday.

Fat Danny!

Hey, baby.

If they cut into you, they'd certainly get plenty of blubber.

I ain't changed much. Have I, A -Half?

Not enough, dearie.

Why, you're husky enough for a whaler.

No whaling for me. I'm sure going.

Yeah.

I don't blame you.

Who the... Who is she?

A friend. I work for her father.

Huh?

I ain't, uh... Certainly not.

What's the matter with me?

I don't think I've ever seen her before.

She must have blown in since the Mary Ann sailed away, huh?

Ain't you friends enough to make me acquainted?

Faye?

Yes, Derek?

This is my brother, Ahab. Miss Mapp. I've heard lots about you.

Don't you believe half of it, man?

She's the new Parsons' daughter.

We just moved here from Boston.

Yeah?

Wherever you're from, they're sure missing you.

And we'll be missing church if we don't hurry.

Won't you come too?

Well, ma 'am, right now, my thirst needs more looking after than my soul.

I'm sorry.

You shouldn't make fun of religion, eh, Had?

Don't know enough about it to make fun of it, son.

Goodbye, ma 'am.

I'm glad to have met up with you.

Goodbye, Ham.

Oh, I like them white. I like them black. I like them pink. I like them

That's the cutest little fellow of a gun that I have ever seen.

What is that?

Witch? No witch.

Him water god.

Him thirst.

My wig wig.

You dare call that grinning idol god?

Out with your graven image, homie roll.

He's a pleasant -looking little fellow, isn't he?

You saved Water Guard's life.

Him, your friend, now, bring much luck to save.

And Water never brought me any luck. And I'm not going to give it a chance.

Have a drink!

And he's a rich snorter. Folks are afraid to stay away.

Enjoy yourself.

Be back after church.

All right.

That'll be very nice.

Welcome home.

Nothing with that heathen.

And that little buttercup for company.

Am I just as well as paid in Singapore?

Singapore.

Jimbo Little, a Singapore cyclone.

You've never bent the knees, have you?

No, just the elbow. That's all you've bent.

There's no place like home, no matter where it is.

Hey, where's my name, dearie?

The speed of my pants, really.

Oh, I hung my little brother and I hung my dear old lover.

And I'm going to hang another for the devil.

What do you want, son?

A drink?

Hey, you and me got the only respectable thirst in this town.

I wonder if that fire -slinging parson puts on a show worth looking at.

else to go.

Oh, I met up with Wonder and Blue.

And I give him a...

This bucko's have to make a saint out of you.

A Saint Bernard.

Me?

You look as if you'd brought the whole congregation with you.

Come in or go out.

Guess I'll go in.

Take that seat.

Take that seat.

I'd rather take that one down there.

No, you can't do that. Take that one.

Boys, look what's going ashore!

there, buggo?

Hello?

You're just in time.

Yeah? For what? To hold with yours.

Huh?

Put your hands like I have mine.

Father wants... No, lad.

I'll be right back.

Don't you dare drop the arm. I won't.

This isn't what's anchoring me here, you know.

Where's father?

Well, he didn't want to see you. I did.

Well, what's the matter, Derek?

What is it?

Well, let's see.

What's he been telling you?

Why, nothing.

Well, he's here all the while. Every time I have some work to do, he's here.

But I'd like him to come.

I don't. But, Derek.

He isn't your kind.

And I'm afraid. Afraid of your own brother?

Yes.

And he'll get you under his spell like he does all the other girls.

No, I don't believe all they say about him. Well, ask anyone.

Well, I don't care what they say.

But I do.

Derek, but how does that concern me?

Don't you see? They'll be talking about you, too.

Well, if they do, it's really my affair, isn't it?

Well, I hope it'll be mine someday.

You must know how I feel.

And it isn't fair, Faith. I love you, and I just can't stand all of this.

Well, I'm sorry, Derek.

Truly, I am.

I asked your father yesterday, and he said yes.

About what?

About me marrying you.

Don't you think I'm the one to ask about that?

I'm asking you now.

But this is neither the time nor the place. You don't love him, do you?

Well, what if I did?

Do you?

Please, Derek, I'd rather not answer that.

But you must.

All right, I will. By answering your first question.

No? Yes, Derek, I'm afraid so.

Then it is Ahab.

Sneaking you away from behind my back. You mustn't say that. It isn't right.

He only hadn't come home.

My answer would have still been no.

Hey, son.

I wonder if you and me ain't in the wrong pew.

I never thought of those two that way.

One of those names of boats you sailed on?

Nope, just girls I met.

That's Steamboat Liz.

She's in China. She's a nice girl.

She didn't hit the pipe.

Battlin' Rosie here is different.

She's always full of rum.

And Laura Bell, she's a cute little thing.

Can't see her. She's in Japan. She's white, though.

That is, she's putting their white when she's cleaning up.

You're trying hard to live up to your reputation, aren't you?

Huh? No doubt to it.

I'll be seeing them all again pretty soon, I guess.

Well, better be shoving off.

You're not leaving already?

Yeah, we're sailing tomorrow and plenty to do before then.

Well, when are you leaving?

Oh, about eight bells in the morning, I guess.

Now, goodbye.

Is that all you have to say before you go?

Yeah, I guess so.

Oh, if stupid hair gets thrown fit, I think you'd better worm him.

Pretty young dog, you know.

Say goodbye to Derek for me, and good luck to you both.

We came to say goodbye.

Yeah? I thought we did that yesterday.

You did.

You better.

You'll catch cold.

Not if you won't.

I'm sorry the way I look.

I never expected no one to see me sail.

We're shoving off. We better hurry up with that goodbye.

Not until you tell me what you wouldn't say yesterday.

I can't remember quite what it was now.

Get aboard, Romeo.

You said it wasn't important.

I guess not. Unless it was something about Derek.

That kid will have something pretty important to say to you. Get aboard, you

mean louse.

He did tell me yesterday.

Asked me to marry him.

Yeah?

Well, you got my blessing.

He's a great lad.

But my answer was no.

Huh? My answer was no.

Why? Because I don't love him.

Not at all?

No.

You mean you never have?

How can I when I love someone else?

Oh.

Oh, there's someone else.

Can't you guess who?

No. Can't you see?

So what are you trying to tell me?

Oh, Ahab.

Well, you... You don't...

Well, I must...

You mean after all these... Oh, please. You're not as bad as your tattoo. Get

that girl out of there so I can cut at you!

I'll always be shoving off to sea.

I can always be waiting till you come back.

Will you wait this time?

If you want me to.

Don't get aboard.

Aye,

aye, Captain.

Will you marry me when I come home?

Yes, I have.

It'll be three years, you know.

I'll wait if it's forever.

It'll seem that long, won't it?

Can't move it.

How's that hammer?

Oh, it's just a blacksmith. Keeping the iron to burn the poison out.

Oh, why don't someone do something?

You want it?

Yeah,

thanks.

Yeah, it makes us feel better.

Well, whatever.

hands and face are washed.

They say it's the Marianne, Ma.

Are you sure it's the Marianne, Sarah?

Only I just saw her from the point. She's coming in on the car.

She'll be tied up just as soon as this fog lifts.

Go and find your sisters and brothers. Run away quick.

I suppose Ahab will be up to his antics again.

He certainly is the wild one.

Goodbye, Miss Mapple. Be seeing you at the dock.

Joe, are you coming with me to meet him? No. I've got some important business to

attend to for your father.

Well, that's a pretty good job of carving, Fig Lake. Had enough practice

worn out three of them myself.

Well,

here you are.

We're putting in the port. It don't matter much.

He won't have no use for a jet. He's dumped too tender.

Well, that's pretty tough on Ahab.

Tough it on the parson's daughter, I'd say.

First night my wife seen me take mine off, she fainted dead away.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Look, you guys.

Got the mirror all to yourself, this flip, ain't ya? Yes, and the girls, too.

That piece of tree ain't much good for mashing hearts.

Better for massive attendance.

Eh, pig -legs? Now we'll be stealing his women.

Eh, that ain't the man he used to be.

Why, you wouldn't be causing it that way.

Didn't he always brag about stealing our girls?

Yours, you mean.

Stop it!

You're focusing right before I steal your girls!

What's this?

The wood you don't need no more?

You'd better keep it or throw it at your wedding. If you think she'll marry a

peg leg...

There

you

are, son.

Ain't she a beaut?

Too bad you ain't had time to get used to it.

Give it here.

You can't wear it yet.

You'll be farting blood like a whale.

Come on, give it to me.

Put it on me.

Better take my advice.

Unless some of the crew carry you ashore.

Marry me.

Oh, man.

Get out!

happy to see me?

Yeah.

But that's got nothing to do with it.

Do with what?

Our marriage.

I'm not going to hold you to your promise.

But I don't understand.

You will when you see me.

Don't you want to marry me?

Have you changed your mind?

No.

But you will.

Nothing could change my mind.

Nothing? No.

Not unless you change.

How about you? We're sailing with the tide.

Oh, I'm no wailer.

Neither is that bragging brother of yours now.

He used his leg for a mat.

Hey, Hap.

Jerry.

Hello, son.

Hello.

I've been expecting you.

I couldn't come to the ship.

Don't mind my heathen, friend.

He's just praying for a new leg for me.

Too bad, Ahab. I'm sorry.

So is everybody.

Especially me.

It was a terrible shock to Faith.

So I noticed.

But you can't blame her, Ahab, for treating him like she does.

How does she feel by now?

Same as any girl would.

Her kind.

You know, Faith isn't like these New Bedford women.

She's soft.

Not used to things like that.

Nobody's asking her to get used to it.

In spite of that, she's courageous.

What do you mean?

She's willing to keep her promise.

Which one?

To marry you, of course.

She won't go back on her word.

If you want to hold her to it.

She told you that?

Got me here to tell you.

I'm a stranger in her name.

From faith to charity.

What does that make me?

Hope.

Well, I wouldn't hope for too much, Ahab.

What else does she say that you're not telling me? Nothing.

Much.

What makes you think I did? Spit it out!

There's no use lying to me. I'm not, Ahab. I... Just afraid I might hurt your

feelings.

Was it... Was it... That she can never feel the

same again?

That she can't love me anymore with this?

Is that what she said?

Not... Not in those words.

But she's willing to be a dutiful wife.

Even if she gags at the sight of me.

She's waiting for you at the house.

Those Moby Dick!

Down by the seven seas!

There's no place like England.

Where were you?

All right.

You shouldn't have come down here. Oh, I couldn't wait any longer. Where have

you been all this time? Well, they have.

You said you'd bring him to the house. But he wouldn't come. Did you tell him

what I said?

What did he say, Derek? Tell me, what did he say? He wouldn't even listen.

Then he doesn't know how I feel?

Yes, I told him just the same. And still he wouldn't come? After you said it

wasn't me who ran away?

And how sorry I was and how much I love him?

Oh, Derek, there must be some mistake. He couldn't have understood you.

Are you sure you told him everything?

Everything. And he wouldn't forgive me?

Just cursed you. I said he never wanted to see you again.

Oh, I can't believe that.

I won't believe it. I must see him.

But you can't.

He's hating on the boss and Lance.

I've got to see him. I must tell him. But Faith.

On which sea, I mean.

There are seven, aren't there?

One for each year he's been gone.

Yes, and he might as well be at the bottom of them. For all the good it's

to do you waiting like this.

What else can I do but wait?

You could at least be fair to me. I don't see what you have to do with it.

you understand?

He's never coming back.

Probably forgotten all about you. But I haven't forgotten him.

Is that any reason why you should deny yourself everything other women have?

A husband and children? I love Ahab.

I'll never love anyone else, Derek.

And all he knows is hate for a stupid fish.

He's the talk of every sailor that puts in here.

That's my fault for running away.

But he's the one who ran away.

Didn't you ask his forgiveness?

You did.

For me.

And all he did was curse you.

Say he was through.

I'm sick and tired of seeing you make a fool of yourself over a crazy man.

Waiting down at the dock like any common woman at the waterfront.

Watching every ship come in until you're the talk of the town.

Don't you think it's time for you to go home, Derek?

All right.

I'm going for good this time.

A hundred pounds more or I don't sign the rules.

A hundred, he said. Keep up coming or I don't sell.

For me, baby, yes.

My name's Poppy.

Me nice girl, too.

I'm buying ships, not women.

Yeah, and you're not buying the Shanghai lady for less than a hundred more.

Take it, you thieving cutthroat.

Make your mark.

Witness that pirate's roar.

How do you do?

Dawkins. Who told you to make for it? I'm sorry, sir.

But you ain't been on deck for weeks.

We had to put in for stores and water.

Yeah, well, get them on.

Make for whaling water.

Where are we?

Bedford, sir.

I told you never to touch this plug!

Get out of here.

Tell me, McMahon.

Well, how are we going to get out without a cruiser?

They land right, right running for the scupper. Same as they always do.

Yeah.

Well, get another one.

You got your order.

Well, that ain't so easy.

That's getting hard in every port.

Why, no sailor with a salt will sign on the Shanghai lady, sir.

They'll remember her name.

Shanghai crew.

You know Bedfordshire?

Why not?

Just as many grog shops and brothels here as any other port.

Well, that kind of a crew makes for mutiny, sir.

Yeah.

Well, if you can't handle them, I will.

Go in the car and shake the vermin up.

And the nearer to hell you get them from, the better.

First, they'll be running away at every port we touch.

We ain't touching port.

Till we run down Moby Dick!

And we're sailing.

Before daybreak.

Aye, aye, sir.

Are you asleep, idiot?

What a good sleep.

Wake up soon.

That drum would wake the dead.

Stop it!

Stop grinning at that piece of wood.

He'll talk soon.

He'd better if he's ever gonna.

What a good speed.

What does he say that I can't hear?

Him say, Moby Dick.

What does he say about Moby Dick?

What does he say about him?

Him say you find White Whale soon now.

You lying to me again, Ethan?

Jim, no.

When does he say?

Tell him to answer before I break his little wooden neck.

Him say when sky water me.

He's always talking in riddles, ain't he?

Sky and water.

When's that?

Him say pretty quick.

You're a queer lot.

You and your heathen god.

I'm trying to begin to believe him.

Who's that?

A necktrap.

What do you want?

I'm running into whaling water, sir.

Maybe the little fella's right after all.

Are you all settled off?

Aye, sir.

They were in whaling water.

I can smell it.

Wouldn't I tell you an old man ought to come down that hatchway?

You told me to tell you when we struck whaling water, sir. I have told you.

And you told me.

Now, get out.

Don't.

I'm snooping around where you don't belong.

You got a full crow?

A lot, as you told me to, sir.

You're more used to cutting throats than whaling.

Type them out.

I'll have a look at them.

Get out!

up, old heathen. Ha!

Maybe we're on the stern of Moby Dick right now.

All hands on deck.

You're going to move on, you lazy scum. Such a lazy scum.

I'll hold you the old rat's weight for you on deck.

Up there, will you? Come on, you.

Get up.

On deck.

What a fine bunch of rats. Good enough for this.

That little gibbon is crazy.

Skipper, I reckon. No more of that monster.

Learn to keep your tongue in your head on this man's trap.

That means you too.

He's seasick. You sang by him. It's the first time he's ever been to sea.

Get out of there, you yellow belly.

What's the matter with you?

Oh, playing possum, eh?

Well, the sight of Captain Ahab will wake you up.

Ahab? Yeah, the old man himself.

Did you see Ahab? Yes, Ahab. Waiting on death for you with a fine bunch of...

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

You're the finest looking bunch of scuttling cutthroat I ever had the honor

meet up with.

You need to be where we're heading.

Are there any whalers among you?

Aye! What do you look for first?

The whale's spout.

And when you see it?

There she blows!

And after we spot him?

All the way.

What next?

All the way.

You're pulling for a white one this time.

No king's eye untouches him but mine.

That's order.

God be slow.

Stay away.

You fight at the service is wrong.

Where's he went?

He's gone.

Get back from there, folks.

My crew only lowers for Moby Dick.

A fine lot of sperm this crew will get us. I'm running the ship.

The sooner you get that through your thick skull, the better.

And if you don't like it, swim home.

Who? Captain Ahab, Percy's hide. No, he's in the hide over you, Percy, you

Let me go. He's my brother, I tell you. Ha, ha, ha. Tell that one to Moby Dick.

I'm going to see him, I tell you. You couldn't pass that hatchway if you was

twin. I'll get fired with you. Go on before I clap your hands.

Ha, ha, ha.

Ain't more than two weeks off the turn of code.

Well, then, of course, dead ahead.

Where to?

Same as always.

Moby Dick.

I don't like the looks of me, Mr. Starbuck.

Crazy cap.

A heathen image.

I've seen it with my own eyes.

There goes that voodoo drum again.

We're heading for something, Mr. Starbuck.

I don't know what.

We're heading for hell, that's where.

Never seen the barometer drop so fast.

It's cold!

What?

God, what do you mean?

for someone like a madman. Is that even?

Yes, right alongside of him.

The one who would pretend for us is my brother.

Not as your wooden god say now, you jungle worshiper.

Jim says... Shut up.

Your little heathen god's a liar.

Break the wheel.

Stop.

Stop!

all settled off.

Aye, sir.

Had to look out set since the storm broke, sir. At daylight.

Don't see nothing yet.

No self -respecting whale would come out in this weather, sir.

Your joke's well -timed.

But it's on me, Mr. Spock.

Hello!

Hey, Spock!

You see no whale washed?

Nothing? Nothing, sir.

You may head her about, Mr. Stubbs, and make for the China Coast.

Are you giving up the cunt for Moby Dick, sir?

He's licking me, Mr. Stubbs.

Watch one more whale.

She blows!

Get her off!

Get her off!

Get her off! It's white!

It's blue!

It's blue! It's blue!

It's blue! It's blue!

It's blue! It's blue!

Nice, Captain.

You're a great even.

You're all grown up, ain't you?

You're crying.
