All language subtitles for Manuela 1957

Burial party ready, sir.

Thank you.

Cut off.

He never took up so much room when he
was alive.

Would have been more fitting if we
buried him at sea.

And easier.

Hey, Capitano.

It's a funny thing, eh?

We sit here and we talk about how he's
hot.

Tuesday, yesterday, back here, he say to
me, Mario, it's too much

heat in the engine room.

I say, you and me, we's like spit on a
hot rock.

But Mac, he no listen. He fall on his
face.

He's a man.

I trust, sir, when making arrangements
for the funeral, that you took into

account the fact that Mr. MacPherson was
a Presbyterian.

He was a darn good engineer.

I worked for him almost six years.

And then he have to go over and he face
juiced like a duck.

He teach me everything I know.

I had an uncle who teach a dog to jump
through hooves. A dog?

Who's a dog?

Let go, Mario.

I was just kidding. I love you. Yes,
Mario. We all love you. You all love me.

I love you too.

You have one copy, I have another, and
the rest must be sent to the address

printed at the top.

An essential and very important
requirement.

Your captain has to be signed by the
representatives of the fleet on behalf

of the British consulate.

Yes, sir.

It all seems to be in order, sir, except
for this, which has to be taken to the

consulate for signature.

Right then.

Vamos.

Take it easy, Mac.

I'll go with him and get everything
straightened out.

Vamos!

Hey, baby, wait for me, huh?

To meet my friend.

It's not going to be easy.

Like we were saying, it's not going to
be easy to find someone like Mac, eh,

Capitano?

Poor old Mac.

I was his right hand.

It's very difficult to find a good
engineer.

Especially in a dump like this, eh? No,

sir, it's not going to be easy. But you
know where I could find one, eh,

Cristiano? Ay, Capitano, I know a man
who knows the engine room like nobody

else. He's oil at every little piece.
He's a watch at the boiler like a baby.

He's only man for the job. You,
Costanza? Ay, Capitano, you smart.

You guess.

I wouldn't hire you, you Maltese ape, if
I could do the job with two seals and a

corkscrew.

Hey, Capitano!

Why for you, Kid Mario?

Captain, that about settles the
business. There's just a little matter

of the stamp duty. What the hell with
the stamp duty? What about my

replacement? I'm pulling out of here
tonight.

For the late Mr.

McPherson.

Well, let me tell you, Captain, you'll
no find it easy in San Luis.

Come to think of it, you'll no find it
easy anywhere in South America.

There's but two men here that I know of
that know one end of a spanner from the

other. But if you'd like to take an old
man's advice, which is offered to you

free... you'll promote one of the lads
you have aboard.

Inefficient as he may temporarily be,
and seeing that you're sailing for

Bristow, with a wee bit of forethought,
no doubt you could have an honest

Scotsman waiting for you there when you
arrive.

And now, Captain, there's the stamp, a
matter of five pesos.

You might spend it getting that fixed.

All right.

After 24 years, to tell the truth, I
hardly ever hear it.

El Capitano E, say to me,

Mario? Mario, just like that.

Mario, he say, for such a valuable
service you do on this ship's engines,

I'm going to make you the first
engineer.

Yeah, I can just hear him.

Six years I worked for him on that ship.

We was in a storm of Hatteras, and
caught in a typhoon in the Indian Ocean.

All the time we work like a team, and he
say nothing.

A big man like you, Mario, you see, he
takes a... Hey, what's the matter? All

you think about is women.

Hey, Mario.

Oh, chase the silly chickens.

Tommy and me, we've got more important
things to do. No doubt.

And don't forget, you'll be on board by
midnight.

Okay, Mario.

You know, Tommy, it's a funny thing.

You get a chance like this, and it makes
you think.

Who is Mario?

He ain't got no family.

He ain't got no education.

He ain't never done nothing.

I kid a lot.

Sometimes I think God make me with his
left hand.

But these are not true.

Everybody get his chance. And now I get
mine.

And I tell you something.

El Capitano is not going to be sorry he
trust Mario.

So what do we do, you and me?

Celebrate? Just like I was going to say.
We're going to celebrate like nobody do

it before.

Camarero.

Are you English?

Sure, sure. English.

And of the English boat?

Sure.

Then I would like to talk to you for a
moment.

That will be a pleasure.

She means me. Come on, I'll buy you a
drink.

Oh, no, Mario.

I'll see you later, Tommy. Oh, Mario.

I heard you talk in English.

I'm English, too. You?

English?

Well, half, anyway.

Listen, I have a small proposition to
put to you. Okay.

What's the proposition?

It's almost 350 pesos.

Send it. It's yours.

What have I got to do?

I want to get to England.

So you want to get to England, eh?

With this?

You can do nothing with this.

Listen, I simply have to go.

This morning I went to the consul. I
told him if I don't get to England, I...

What for do you want to go to England?

You're from a river, aren't you?

I've been from office to office trying
to get a job on a ship.

They only laugh.

Senor, listen.

Sometimes I look at the harbor and I
think I'll go out of my mind.

I have a little money, but it gets less
and less.

I don't even dare eat.

Yesterday I thought...

Wait and see.

You're going to die right here in St.
Louis.

So what do you want me to do about it?

I want you to take me aboard.

Okay, I take you aboard.

But first we go to your room and talk
about it.

Go to my room. Then I can whistle for
the wind.

Hey, wait a minute.

Wait a minute. I was only kidding.

Hey, here's your money.

You think I want to steal it?

I think I get an idea.

We go out and we have a little supper
and we talk about it, eh?

Supper? Sure, anything you want.

We can go out this way. And we find a
way to get you on a ship.

We do it, okay?

Grazie, signora.

Arrivederci, Manolo.

And have a good night.

Have a

good

night.

If he really made you chief engineer,
you could do it.

Well, like I tell you,

it's got problems.

First, it's no passengers.

Second, it's no women in crew.

Manuela, it's a pretty name.

You said first, second, what's the
third?

Well, I got to think about it.

You gave me too much to drink.

First time I see you, I go crazy. Don't
touch me.

I never see anyone like you in my life.

I hate people touching me.

You see this ring?

I give you this ring. I told you, I hate
to be touched.

I'll do anything.

Anything.

Then take me aboard.

All right, I'll get you aboard.

First you take me aboard.

After?

First you take me aboard.

He's a great man.

And when Mario say that, he's something.

And him and me, he's just like a dad.

What about the others?

Oh, don't worry. Everything's going to
be all right. Nobody see nothing. You

say nothing.

Leave everything to Mario.

Capitano's going to be drinking gin.
It's going to be easy.

Nice of you to join us, Mr. Costanza.

May I inquire, Mr.

Costanzaro, your friend is?

He's a new galley boy, Mr. Evans. I
talked to the Capitano. He's all fixed

up.

until 14 minutes to 12.

It's a little boy I tell you about. Ten
more minutes and I'd have left you on

the beach. Oh, Capitano, sure you don't
do that to Mario.

He's a boy to work in the galley with
the cook. What boy?

He's a good boy, but he's a very sad.

Mama's a dead, Papa's a dead.

He's a well brought up. He's so clean
like you never see him. Get down below

and make ready to shove out of here.

It's a work and a half a dozen ships.
Get down below.

Always in the gallery. Before I brain
you. It's an Emanuel.

Get that pigeon-toed native out of my
sight. Sure, sure, Capitano. I'll do

this just for you and you'll never be
sorry. Never in your life.

You see? It was easy. It's all picked
up.

Ah, Pong.

Come in, Capitano. Bring me some coffee.
Yes, Capitano. And a sweater.

Light the way, Captain.

What's that ladder?

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

like a dream, eh?

Ah! So it's you again, Pereira!

Ah, Comandante!

It's a beautiful evening, ah?

Stand by, folks, for a party.

You look more prosperous than ever.

I'll bank up.

Straightened out all your charts, sir.

Except that I can't find the lights to
Pontemanguino.

I'd like to hear what you say to that
aunt of yours when you get in after a

voyage. It is your aunt you live with,
Mr. Evans, isn't it?

Yes, sir.

The old man drinks too much, doesn't he?

Never wears his coat like a decent
Christian, eh?

I never said that, sir.

All right.

I'll take over.

Boy, what are you doing there?

Get back up, Farad. Wave along.

Get on in the world.

That's all the poor fool thinks of.

But he never will.

You know who does?

A man who can buy himself a part of some
stinking scowl.

Man her and hire some poor devil like me
to run her.

Then sit back in his office and watch
the dollars roll in.

They can't lose.

After a while, the bottom will fall out
of her, but that's all right.

If I get a home, they buy me a bottle of
whiskey.

If I don't, the insurance will pay for
the lot.

You are sad tonight, Senor Comandante,
eh?

No, I'm not sad, Pereira.

Oh, excuse, Senor, I forget.

Forget?

Forget what?

Oh, you English?

You get embarrassed if anybody asks you
what is in your heart?

You want to know the truth?

It's just that suddenly tonight I saw
myself growing old, and I didn't like

it.

When you're young, you see the good days
all ahead of you.

And suddenly you get older and catch
sight of them behind you and wonder how

in the devil's name they got there.

It's a discovery everybody makes, senor.

Shall I tell you something, Pereira?

If I thought it would make the slightest
difference, I'd fling the whole life up

tomorrow.

Ships, cargoes, crews, companies,
everything.

And live on a rock in Galway.

Well, we want what God will not give us,
huh?

Me, I am the opposite.

I have a wife and six, seven babies.

And every night I take out the foreign
commandantes.

Veracruz, Montevideo, New York, Panama.

And sometimes I think to myself, Jose...

Maybe just this once you forget those
babies and go along.

Go along where?

Who knows?

Senor, Banca de Gamboa.

Well,

it's always the same, Comandante, huh?

Happy journey, pleasant trip, happy
days.

Si, Comandante?

Don't try it. Ah?

Oh! Si, si.

when did you ship aboard missy you come
from these parts

you

was in front of that cafe with me and
the chief the captain sees you here

he'll cut your heart out ah i know
you're a relative of mario's

His niece, maybe.

Or must it be his daughter?

Ah, he's a parrot, that Parson Evans.

Parson. You know what he says to me?

Ma, she says, are you a practicing
Christian?

Am I a practicing Christian?

Holy mackerel.

So I says, practicing, no.

What's it to you?

So he says, as an honest man, then.

Is that a bottle of Gilby's gin you have
in your pocket?

Honest man, I says.

Gilby's gin it is.

So he says, it grieves me to hear you
say that.

For you know as well as I that
spirituous liquors is not allowed on

board.

Gentlemen, may I present a friend of
Mario's.

A very special friend.

What do you mean, Mario's?

She's in here, ain't she? Yeah, but
she's going to stay here.

So where else could he keep her and not
get caught?

What's your name, kid?

Hey! Gotcha that woman and I put you in
the furnace and nobody ever finds your

bones. Who are you trying to kid, Mario?
Look, she don't have hands like a boy.

She doesn't even look like a boy. You
don't stand a chance.

You can't keep her hidden away for 23
days, Mario.

Well, just wait till the bridge sees
her.

I fixed the bridge.

Nobody on bridge is going to see her.
All right, so have it your own way.

Nobody talk.

Nobody going to see her.

But if anybody here say one word, I
break his back.

All right, all right.

Come with me.

They're nothing but pigs, those guys.

Why for you leave my cabin?

Where I put you? You can't blame the guy
for trying.

You don't know me, Manuela.

I am not how I look.

So I go first.

You stay here. You wait two, three
minutes. Then you come along.

As if you go to galley. Okay?

What's the matter?

I said, what's the matter?

You don't want him to break your neck,
you better do like he said.

Go on, kid, you heard me.

Do like the man said.

Evans.

Let's go, Stan.

Watch out.

Mario, I... I wait, I wait, and I think
you'll never come.

You're afraid everything's going to be
all right.

Mario, I don't know what to say, but...
You think I'm rough?

Open the mistake.

Everybody's afraid of me, too.

And it's a funny thing, because I'm
really not like that.

I never say that to a woman before in my
life.

Let me go.

Ever since I first met you, I think
about you and think about you until I go

crazy. Why you turn your head? Why you
turn your head?

Why you don't understand, Mario?

All of my life I do dirty things, and
now for the first time with you, is

everything honest?

Mario, I can't help it.

I'll call the others.

Just you try.

Get this plot out of my way.

You stinking ox.

So you're a chief, are you? You're a
ship's officer, are you?

I'm putting this pig ashore in Fernando.

And that's a godforsaken hole.

Forty acres of rocks where you can build
yourselves a shack if you can find a

tree to build it out of.

Evans, we're putting them ashore
tomorrow night.

And they can rot for all I care. You
can't put me ashore with him.

I can't, can't I?

They got us, huh?

Harder for it.

Harder for it, sir.

Why did you do it, huh?

Why should a girl like that jump?

Maybe you misjudged her.

Midship? Midship, son.

Why not grow mushrooms in your own
cellar? Up to 25 pounds a week. And

what's more, that's profit.

Oh, to be sure, if you can sell them.
And if you don't, you'll always have

enough mushrooms to start an umbrella
factory.

Hey, Cookie, you eat mushrooms in China?
Oh, sure.

Mushroom and lye, mushroom and prawn,
mushroom and meat. We eat plenty of

mushroom.

And what, may I ask, is the population
of China?

600 million.

600 million people got to eat three
meals a day, seven days a week.

A world market.

And you ask me how am I going to make 25
pounds a week? Yeah, yeah, but this is

where you get the stuff from. Does it
say, does it say? Of course it says.

Look.

Everybody want to know how you are.

You know that damn bloody boy, they say.

He turn out to be a damn bloody woman.

There you are.

I nicely laundry all your things.

Now you eat everything you hear.
Everything.

Make you strong enough to swim all the
way home.

that she got yourself into.

What did you do with him? You almost
killed him, didn't you?

What's your name?

I will show it.

You see, even when I met him... I said,
what's your name?

Manuela. Manuela Hunt.

Hunt? Where'd you get a name like that?

My father was an Englishman.

Your father was a what?

An Englishman from Windsor, where they
have a park and a castle.

I see.

A castle.

So that gives you the right to come and
muck up a whole ship's company and put

us 90 miles off course to get rid of you
You're not really putting me a showing

Fernando. Of course. I'm putting you
sure both of you, but you can't oh Why

in the devil's name can't I?

Put me a show with him.

Can't you imagine what would be like?

If that's how you feel why did you get
mixed up with him?

Why have you got to get to England How
can I explain like this

All right get some clothes on you've got
a hell of a lot to explain

So you don't like the notion of being
put ashore with Costanza But you didn't

mind did you when you shacked up with
him in San Luis I Never we never did So

he took you aboard out of the goodness
of his heart

That's right. Wipe your greasy fingers
all over your clothes.

How old are you?

Seventeen. A fine figure you'd cut in
England.

Did you ever have a pair of shoes on
your feet?

Of course.

Yes, I can just see it.

You know what you'd look like in London?

You're wrong.

You think I'm only some savage from
upriver.

But I'm not.

I can sew, read and write. And do songs.

My father taught me all those things
because he was a gentleman.

And anyway, I'm not going to London. I'm
going to Windsor.

So that's it.

Some Englishman stuffs your head full of
sentimental nonsense and the result is I

lose a chief engineer and 50 tons of
coal. No, no, no. He was going to take

me there himself.

But instead he skipped out on you.

Oh, no.

Then what made that splendid English
father of yours dump you on the street

in St. Louis?

He didn't dump me on the street.

He went off to Mato Grosso because he
was looking for silver.

He was sure there was plenty of silver
there.

He never came back.

I see. No, you don't see at all.

After that, Senor Corcovado took very
good care of me.

Corcovado? Who the devil was that?

He was a business partner of my father.

He wasn't English, of course. He was
Brazilian.

He was my husband.

his business partner.

Only two months, then he died. And I had
to stay with his brother.

That was the worst time of all.

He rented rooms to sailors and used to
go around all day long giving orders.

Me especially. He used to follow me even
into the town.

I almost killed him the night we left
St. Louis.

Then I was running... All right, all
right.

How old did you say you were?

Seventeen.

Currency.

Where's the woman, sir?

Perfectly all right.

Probably got more lives than a cat.

What's your course, Mr. Evans?

042, sir.

We should be off Fernando well before
dark.

Alter course to 050.

Five-oh, sir.

I'll wash them.

You heard the order.

Oh, five-oh.

Is she awake, sir?

When do we reach Fernando?

Apparently, we're not putting into
Fernando.

All right, Costanza, get up out of there
and get back to work.

You still got that woman up there? You
heard what I said, Costanza. Get back to

the engine room.

Sure, sure, Capitano. On ship you're
Capitano, and I do like you say.

But when we get on shore, it's
different, eh?

Blavock. Sir?

That woman up there mustn't go wandering
around the ship.

All right, sir.

If she has to stretch her legs, see to
it she's escorted by one of the

officers. All right, sir.

What if it's true what you say about
these here merchants?

Why haven't more people grown?

Why? Why, yes.

So why don't more people got Rolls Royce
cars, Cadillacs? Because they don't got

the brains.

You don't believe me?

So go and ask the captain.

He'll tell you.

Hey, you think he'd give you an honest
answer?

If everybody was to know what is in this
book, if every one of us was unsure,

like he should be, earning 25 pounds a
week, so where do you think he'd get a

crew? Answer me that!

How old were you when all this happened,
miss?

I was 11 that summer.

And there were half a dozen Indian
girls. All about my age.

They were my cousins or something.

And we played and we swam in the
cobrados.

Naked as eels.

All of us.

Well, it sounds wonderful.

But I still don't see why you want to
get to England so badly.

Oh, how can you explain these things?

Mostly because of my father, I suppose.

Because of all the things he told me
about England.

He was going to buy me a beautiful white
dress and take me to my first ball.

And I'd dance and dance with a prince.

Or maybe even a duke.

And be a real lady.

Oh, I know I'm half Indian.

But I'm half English, too.

And nobody, nobody can take my English
half away.

I think I understand, miss.

Beans, as long as that'll hold.

Browns.

Were they brown?

Never seen a sprout, miss. Oh, my, bless
your heart, you'll live on them. Oh,

surely not.

And peas, lettuce, tomatoes.

You have tomatoes at home, miss? Oh,
yes.

Now, I ought to grow Lincolnshire red.

Is that such a funny name?

When we get to Bristol, I'll take you
around and I'll show you myself.

I've been very kind, Mr. Blaylock. Not
at all, miss. It's been a pleasure.

Good night, Mr. Blaylock. Good night,
miss.

Good night, Captain Protero.

You're too late.

How in the devil's name did I take you
for a boy?

You never looked.

Yes, I did.

I was standing by the bunk.

When I was asleep?

Yes, when you were asleep.

I looked at you.

I almost reached down and touched your
shoulder to wake you up.

To tell me you had been wrong?

Oh, no.

You can get some foolish notions into
your head at 3 o'clock in the morning.

I was thinking, 22 years at sea, and
what does it get a man?

You start off big, and then you go home.

Voyage after voyage.

Bangkok to Tenerife.

And there's the rest of the world.

People get a little older.

A little more tied up in each other.

Going about their business.

And none of it has anything to do with
you.

You even forget how to talk.

And there are a good many things you
want to say.

I stood there looking at you and... I
might have said... I might have said a

good many flattering things about what I
saw.

I might have said... Here am I, James
Prothero.

A 43-year-old hulk swimming in alcohol.
And I've been through it all.

Are you listening?

But now I'm through with the sea, I'd
have said.

And I'd like to go ashore.

With someone like you.

To find... God knows what, I'm a seaman.
I don't know anything else.

Might have been just like the others and
probably lasted only a week.

But the point was, I... I imagined...

What are you staring for? Are you cold?

No.

I've been trying to stop, but it comes
from inside me.

If I had said it, what would you have
said?

Would you have come?

Good morning, Evans.

Gone deaf, Evans?

I said good morning.

Good morning, sir.

Oh, sir?

Yes, Bleller? I've just been down in the
engine room. Costanza doesn't seem too

happy about the heat down there.

I must say, it does seem a bit hot. So
now he's opening all the ventilators.

Right, I'll see to it later. All right,
sir.

Excuse me, sir.

Could I have a word with you for a
moment?

What is it?

I wish to... apologize for my rudeness
just now.

That's all right, Evans. No need to say
another word. And I realize I'm not

always easy to get on with, but you
don't make it any easier when you dig at

me, sir.

I suppose we just weren't born to get on
with each other, that's all, Evans. You

see, sir, I love my ship and my job
and... So do I, Evans.

To the exclusion of everything else,
sir.

If you know what you love, Evans, you're
a very lucky man.

I'm sorry I'm not dressed.

It was just the same at home.

I didn't get up. I wasn't dressed.

I forgot where I put things all day
long.

In England, girls of your age... They're
still tied to their mother's skirts.

Oh, we must be a lot quicker than I
thought we were.

I've known girls married when they were
so young. You wouldn't believe it. And

raised children.

The truth is, I'm a very practical
woman.

And if... If you think... But if... If
you think there's certain advantage,

it's simply not true.

a husband with that silly name.

There's nothing to tell.

Nothing to tell.

You married him, didn't you? You lived
with him. What did he look like?

He was a little man and fat.

And the others? What about the others?

The others?

In San Luis.

When you were in San Luis, what did you
live on?

Oh, that was easy. I had hundreds of
lovers.

Don't you believe me?

Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and
hundreds.

Does the old man look different in
daylight?

He looks beautiful.

Let me look at you.

But you have looked.

I haven't looked enough.

Who is it?

It's Bliss, sir. What do you want?

It's about the trouble in the engine
room, sir. Will you stop it?

Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and
hundreds.

All right, Bliss, I'll be up.

Shut up.

Tell him to come in. Why don't you?

Tell him I love you. I love you, love
you, love you. It's Costanza, sir. He

reports an abnormal temperature down.
Tell Costanza to go to the devil.

Did you hear what I said?

If you don't look out, you little toopy,
the whole ship will hear you.

Must we get dry?

Which rooms are... by darkness and damp?

Why couldn't we go home in the folks
room?

Hey, what's the matter up there? You
crazy or something?

I call and I call on the tube. What's
the matter now? I find out why it's hot.

It's a resort bunker.

All the place is hot there. I think I
open it up and use up the coal. But it's

beginning to smoke like hell. Have you
got her clothes down again?

Sure, it's tight like a drum. But I tell
you, plenty smoke come out. Wait here a

minute.

Bless up your eye, will you?

Aye, aye, sir.

How much coal have you still got down
there?

A hundred and fifty, a hundred and sixty
ton. I don't know. Any idea how long

it's been there?

It's now September.

We think on third, fourth July.

You know, it's a funny thing. You carry
coal six, ten months and nothing

happens. Then for no reason she catch a
fire.

Hey, Mario, look at this. It's getting
worse. I tell you, she's a good fire.

Of course, some of these fires can go on
for days before burning themselves out.

Sure, sure, but you know what's in back
of that bunker? One tiny little wooden

bulkhead and 200 tons of cotton.

We'll button everything down and then
see if we can choke it off.

Cotton will burn without air, Mr. Nick.

Bridge. Mr. Blitz.

Aye, sir. Turn out two men and get the
after ventilator shut down. Aye.

Dawson? Aye, aye, sir. Get someone to
close down the after vents.

Right, Mr. Bliss.

I was in a fire in the Indian Ocean
once. What did you do? Spit in it?

It's even hot here.

All right, Constance, there's only one
thing for it.

We'll get some steam into that hole and
see what happens.

Let me know when you get pressure up.

You hear what he say?

He wants a full steam.

Now you're going to find out what it is
to be roast alive.

Captain Clutter, home?

Yes, what do you want?

I simply must speak with you for a
minute, sir.

If you please, sir.

Yes, Evans, what is it?

You may remember that Costanza reported
an abnormal temperature in the engine

room, sir.

I went down to investigate and found a
good deal of smoke in the reserve bunker

between engine room and number three
hold.

Since there's only a wooden bulkhead
between that bunker and the cotton in

number three... Very well, Evans.

Have all ventilators shut down. I've had
that done, sir.

Secure all bulkhead doors. That's been
done, too.

Good. Start pouring steam into number
three.

That is already in hand, sir.

Then what do you propose we do now, Mr.
Evans?

Well, sir, I... I think that... in your
position, I should

want to take a tour down below and see
for myself.

And precisely with what object?

You would go to have done all that can
be done.

Well, it occurred to me, sir, that...

If the temperature in number three gets
any higher, we ought to open her up and

get some water in there.

And if you pour in water, Mr. Evans, you
also pour in air.

Cotton will burn without air. I am
perfectly well aware of that.

I should say that in the circumstances,
there's nothing else that you can do.

Yes, sir.

What's the temperature in number three?

225.

How long has it been, 225 Evans?

15 to 20 minutes.

Then if it goes down, you will have
acted properly.

And if it goes up, we shall have to
consider the next step.

Yes, sir.

Oh, and Evans, if it goes up, don't wait
15 or 20 minutes to call me.

When did I fall in love with you?

No, why did you fall in love with me?

I don't know.

I suppose... I suppose it's because I
want to live with you in Windsor Castle.

And ride with you in the Lord Mayor's
coach.

Yes, and take you to see Dick
Whittington's cat.

But first I'd have to put shoes on your
feet and get your hair combed.

Because I'm the master of a filthy hulk
and I don't like it.

I want to take you down Regent Street.

Which is paved with gold.

Because when you look tired, you're more
beautiful than when you're not.

Because I want to live with you in any
place that infantile head of yours can

imagine.

Any place.

Thank you.

Will you leave me when I get old and
fat?

You must have done.

To be women, by the time they're 25, are
generally old

and fat and dead.

I'm wondering if it is possible for
people like us to love each other so

much and to go on.

Like us?

I like to pretend, but I'm not really
English.

I never could be.

What are you trying to tell me?

That you're going to start filing your
teeth like a savage?

No, but I might act like a savage.

What would you do if I ran away?

We are very different, aren't we?

Captain Polar!

Sir!

No doubt about it, she's broken forward
into the hole. What I can't understand

is where she's getting the air. Have you
got pressure up on the hoses? Yes, sir.

All right, have them stand by for
orders.

Hey, Capitano, we won't be able to work
below much longer. With the air cut off,

we get 150, 160 degrees in the engine
room. I'm fully aware of that.

Bliss, give me our position.

Right, sir.

We can do one of two things.

We can keep pouring in steam and make a
run for Pernambuco, or we can open the

hatch and see what the host will do. If
we get any air in there, she'll go up

like a match. And if we don't get any
water in there, Mr. Evans, she'll part

her seams and go down like a lead
sinker. As far as I can make out, number

four holds still clear.

All right, Bellock, signal Pernambuco.

Tell them what the trouble is, say we're
changing course, and we ought to be in

there about five o'clock tomorrow night.
Aye, aye, sir.

What about my boys at the engine room,
Capitano? I'll tell you what we'll do,

Costanza.

We'll give it another quarter hour.

Your boys can take another quarter hour,
Captain.

If the temperature doesn't drop in
number three, I'll open the hatch and

let in the hoses. Okay, Capitano, I tell
them.

What's the new course, Bliss?

Yes, I can make out, sir, about 270.

420. 420, sir.

What's the reading, Evans?

415, number three, sir.

Steady on 270.

Steady on 270, sir. Let me know your
amended course.

Aye, aye, sir.

Steering on 270, sir. Very well, then.

We'll give it a quarter hour.

What's the matter?

You don't like the heat?

It's a burn down here.

Let me show you. Look, look, look. Let
me show you.

Like a D.

Like a D.

Good for you. Good for a man. It makes
you strong, like Mario.

Come on, boys.

It's only 50 minutes more, and then he's
going to give her water.

Okay, Joe, put some water here.

Signal away, sir.

Right.

Evans, what's the reading?

Four-five-five.

If we don't get that hatch cover off,
it'll blow off.

Bolton, start your houses!

Aye, aye, sir. Lellock, get your boat
swung out.

Aye, aye, sir.

I know you, sir.

Rich? How much longer do my boys have to
stay here?

It's 185.

It's enough money no more. All right,
Costanza.

I'll tell the captain. Stand by for
order.

It's now 185 in the engine room.

All right, Blalock. Pull them out of
there. Very good, sir.

Get them in for it. Right, sir.

Outstaged. Down by your boat.

I'll be at the team town.

We're going to abandon ship, Mr. Evans.

Get your signal out.

Get your things. I'm putting you to a
boat.

I won't go. I won't.

It's all right. We'll get off.

I want... I don't want to go anywhere.

I don't want to go to England.

It will be all finished between us.

It's true, isn't it?

Isn't it?

It happens like that.

Come on.

Wait. Where do you want to go? She may
part her seams at any moment.

Lock the door and stay here.

You're out of your mind.

Yes. I told you I am a savage.

What do you want to do? Before 50 years,
100 years, 1,000 years?

When will we ever have a better industry
day?

You're mad.

No. No.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Denny, as you go.

That's water.

Denny.

Mind my arms, David.

I came down.

I'm going to then blast him. Get behind
here.

They're miles astern by now. Yes, sir.

I imagine Mr. Bliss will try to make
contact with us at first light.

Mr. Bliss is perfectly capable of
handling the situation.

Thank you.

Say what you like, Mr.

Prothero.

Some of us have a sense of duty and some
have not.

How are you going to explain to the
owners about that woman?

Answer me that.

Oh, heavens.

And then when the trouble started, you
mean to tell me you shouldn't have been

in the engine room?

Well?

Oh, yes.

But the woman was with you, wasn't she,
Captain?

Stow it, Evans.

It's no use to worry, Capitano.

Sometimes you've got the sheep, people
get killed, and then you've no got the

sheep. What do you want? It's like that
with sheep. But if you don't get killed

like us, and you stick together,
everything's going to be all right.

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures.

He leadeth me beside still waters.

He restores my soul. You hear, Capitano?

He say shut up.

For four days now we get nothing from
you except il Capitano's no good, I'm no

good, nobody's no good except Mr.
Stinking Evans.

It's a finish now. You hear?

Go ahead. Write, write all you want. It
make no difference no how.

You may defend him only which, Costanza,
but when I get this into Bristol, he

will never get another ship as long as
he lives.

I pity you, Evans.

Yeah, me too.

He died.

What do you mean, he died?

Just like I say.

He was very sick in the night.

Capitano, he sure was a sick man.

You know, it's a funny thing if you look
at it.

Like Mr. Evans was saying.

If it hadn't been for that woman, maybe
he no die.

What do you mean by that?

Well, look at what happened.

I lose my job.

You lose your ship. Mr. Blelock, he die.

Mr. Evans, he die too.

All because of a woman.

No more women for you and for me, eh,
Capitano?

Shut up.

Shut up!

What would you have done if you'd
married a 17-year-old girl?

Go ashore, maybe.

Get a job.

Job? You'd spend all your life at sea.
What could you do, sure.

She sure make a big monkey out of me,
eh?

And if you stayed, see, you'd be
someplace for another six months at a

time.

The only wife for a seaman is a bridge
rail.

These nice little toopy girls, in two,
three years, they get fat like a house.

Yeah, all of these native women, young,
nice, they drive you almost crazy.

And when you go back, they got somebody
else.

They got hundreds of men.

Yes, Mario, I know.

Siempre lo mismo. Siempre acudecer.

Ocupado, don Pedro, eh? Yo siempre estoy
ocupado. Que si tengo trabajo, lo paro

un momento.

Todo tengo que hacerlo yo.

Bueno, un hombre inteligente no le dejan
descansar.

¿Qué sería de esto?

Y muy buena voluntad.

No hay consideración.

No hay derecho.

No,

no, no, no.

No! Hola, chicos.

¿Qué tal, Don Pedro?

¿Qué vida es esta? Mientras yo me mato
trabajando, vosotros tan tranquilos.

Sí, ¿y usted cree que no tenemos nada
que hacer aquí nosotros?

Have you heard any more news about the
other boat?

Are they all safe?

I tell you yesterday when I get my
instructions.

I tell you this morning when I send off
Mr. Bliss and his men.

They go, you wait.

It's all down here on the paper.

But I still don't see why they... I tell
you the Capitano's boat was picked up at

Suriname. I tell you I got instructions
to send Mr. Bliss and six men off on the

track this morning.

What do you want me to do?

The company pays me for sending seven
men.

I have money for seven men. I send seven
men. You see them go with your own eyes.

Then why can't I telephone Surina? I
know the captain is there. If the

capitano wants to get in touch with you,
he will get in touch with you.

But look, why can't I... I'm tired. I'm
hot.

I want to sit down and have a glass of
beer.

But if I telephone to Suriname...
Suriname is a town.

A big town.

It is not like the jungle. In Suriname
there are 44 hotels, shipping offices,

customs, immigration offices, offices.

Where are you going to telephone?

There.

Do they know I'm here? Do they know
about you? Yes.

Look, it says here on the paper, seven
men, one bliss, two moths.

Three Jones, four Ferrari, five Cassini,
six Johnson, seven Afong. So far as the

Suriname steam packet navigation company
is concerned.

You don't exist.

There.

Read it for yourself.

Come on, come on, read it.

You were never born.

I have my instructions.

You are to wait for the authorities to
make up their minds what to do with you.

Give me another beer.

Before I die.

It's always the same with these blessed
women.

There'll be a message.

You wait and see.

Look, amiga mia.

It's nothing new.

You want me to be unhappy?

All right. I'm unhappy for all you
girls.

The trouble is you have too much
imagination.

Big ideas.

Ships. Be a lady, chico.

Díselo tú.

Life is not like a dream. All end happy.

Wake up.

It's finished.

Look.

Sit down here like a good girl.

And I buy you a drink. All right?

Chico, dala una copa. Y supongo que la
pagará soy yo.

Ya le doy de comer tres veces por día y
ahora tengo que darle un trago de más.

Aunque no resulta fácil ordenar a Don
Pedro.

Pero a mí me toca pagar.

Han to wait.

It says han to wait.

But that's my name. It says I'm to wait.

But this is what I tell you all the
time.

You are to wait until they can decide
what to do with you.

You're crazy.

All of you. He wants me to wait here. He
says so. He and your own people. You're

crazy. You're crazy. All of you.

He wants me to wait. I'm to wait. I'm to
wait.

He says I'm to wait.

I said, where is Captain Protero?

Never mind about him now. Come here.

He'll be here any minute.

Mario,

don't be angry.

This thing simply happened.

I couldn't help it.

I'm sorry.

I'm not angry.

Listen, in St. Louis we made a...

A crazy bargain.

But since then, so much has happened.

I'm going to England.

I'm going to be with him always.

That's not what il capitano tell me.

The boat.

He and I, we talk a long time.

Talk?

Drink that.

Maybe you're going to need it.

It was a thing.

First, he break his shoulder.

And I think he get bone in lung.

And after two, three days, he get a very
bad fever.

Of course, he's so much worse because he
lose a ship already.

Lose a job.

Lose a reputation.

I don't care. Where is he?

Maybe not, but il capitano he care.

Damn these women, he say.

Damn these women.

It's a lie.

Where is he? I want to talk to him.

Go look into the hospital in Suriname.

I left him there three hours ago.

Didn't he tell you he was coming to meet
me?

No.

Then what did he say?

Mario, what did he say?

He told me nothing.

He was dead.

What did you say?

I said... he was dead.

It's all right, Manuela.

It's going to be all right in a minute.

You can't go on, you know.

Can you?

One thing he did.

He gave me this.

Is enough money here to take her to
England?

The rest of us is going to be shipped
out tonight to Veracruz.

Veracruz is a company boat going to pick
us up.

Maybe when we get back to England.

Tell me the truth.

Didn't he have a single good word for
me?

You remember in St. Louis?

How we talk, we do.

It was good days.

You know something?

Two things.

Bad things.

All of my life I got to push, push.

But when I meet you in San Luis, it was
the best day I ever had.

I was a good Mario when I tell you I
want you to be my wife.

Please, Mario, don't.

What are you going to do now?

Who cares?

Mario, I'm tired.

He said, I got that one.

Did you give her the money?

You should have told her yourself.

Maybe it's true you two are for her.

Maybe she'll find a better man, like you
say.

Maybe later she'll thank you, like you
say.

But you should have told her yourself.

Okay, so we never see her again.

Who cares?

In 20 years' time, it'll make no
difference no how. Shut up, Costanza.

With the people like you and me, it's
the ships or it's the wife and babies.

And you sure know what you want,
Capitano.

No more women for you and for me.

We stick with ships, you and me. And we
don't take no chance with people on

shore.

People like us, we should...
