All language subtitles for Riverboat S01E31 The Sellout

We're riding too high, Captain. I
wish we had some cargo for ballast.

Looks like Black Richard's Bend up ahead
is only about two miles in inches. Well,

there's still a half hour to go.

It's getting worse.

Water deck.

Reduce speed to half, Kearney.

Got some log jams coming at us.

Aye, it is. Half speed, sir.

Hold it at half speed.

How bad is it, Carney? The starboard
side is stolen. We're flooding fast.

It's seeping up through the bottom.

I'll be right down.

Resume full speed ahead.
What's your pull apart?

Better natches in the
bottom take your pick.

If we got one.

Come on! If it hits the
boilers, we'll go up to the sky!

Borrowed money on her before.

When she was in commission,
yes. Able to carry cargo. Well,

doesn't my reputation
mean anything at all?

Combined with a workable boat, yes.

With a damaged one, no.

Then you won't help me, huh?

I'll help you, Captain.

I'll buy her from you.

At market value, less repairs.

A strange man, Channing.

My boat isn't worth the risk of
a loan. But yet you'll buy her.

No thanks.

Don't try to fool me, Captain.

Dock charges are eating you up
right now. You have a crew to pay.

In a month's time, you'll be
begging to sell out for salvage.

Yeah, but not to you. There won't
be anybody else, I promise you that.

I've got a fisk at the shipyard.

I'll save you a walk, Captain. I
hold a mortgage on his yard. You know,

I wondered why everybody
kept steering me to you.

Now I know.

You don't own every
shipyard in the Mississippi.

It's the only one here. What
are you gonna do, Captain?

Float her down to New Orleans
with that hole in her side?

You'd be scraping bottom
before you got to midstream.

And I'll be standing on
the dock watching you sink.

Yeah, well, you do just
that little thing, Mr. Cheney.

But it'll be my boat you'll be
watching, see? Not yours or anybody else's.

Should I say bravo, George?

You'll be back crawling.

Well, I wouldn't count on
it, George. He's a river man,

and they're a very strange breed.

You'd know, wouldn't you?

Well, let's say I've been learning.

Don't learn too much.

Well, George, I like men
who get me what I want.

I've got everything we'll ever need.

You've got.

Oh, my husband had too.

And he still had it when he left me.

And I had nothing.

But it's not going to happen again.

Now, I need a boat, George, and I
still think that one can be had.

We couldn't get it your
way, so now we'll try mine.

All right.

And after that?

We'll see.

Until then, you're just my partner.

Make sure that's all anybody is.

Well, of course, George. There he is.

Maybe we better not ask him anything.

Well, the minds of babes.

You keep yours shut, too.

Well!

What are you still doing up, Chip?

Date up to see you.

Well, you better get on to
bed now. Come on, hop to it.

See that you don't forget your prayers.

Is it all right to pray for money?

Well, I... I don't
think anybody would mind.

Do you have to know how much to ask for?

No, no, just make it general.

Yeah, God'll know.

Hey, the Enterprise!

Yeah?

Stand by for boarding!

Who was that? Yeah, I know
that voice from somewhere.

You got a river rat
named Holden aboard here?

River round! Why, Nick Logan!

Boys, me, Nick Logan, the worst
captain in the Mississippi. Me? Why,

if there was only one sandbar in
the river, you'd find in the dark.

Me, I got the...

Go on upstairs, I'll buy you a drink.

So all I could do was sit there on shore
and watch her burn till the boilers blew.

That was six months ago.

I should tell you my troubles.

At least you still got a boat.

Well, I don't think I'm
gonna have it for long.

Can't she be fixed?

Sure, sure. With
$8,000, which I don't have.

You've got it now.

You got $8,000?

I know where to get it.

I made a cargo deal on
a Tennessee last week.

I was just going
through here on my way down

to New Orleans to look for another boat.

Well, how does that help me?

What's the matter with leasing this one?

Oh.

Oh, well, it'd take
eight, ten days to fix her.

Take me nearly that long to get
down to New Orleans and back.

Maybe I wouldn't find one down there.

What do you say, Gray?

Two months lease.

You get it back free
and clear, all shipshape.

Nick, you got yourself a deal.

You know, for a minute I
thought you were going to say no.

Oh, how could I? When you came
on board, I had two choices.

I had a sinker to sell
us. I'll be right back.

Where are you going? I'm
going to tell my crew. What?

I'm going to tell them
you've still got a job.

They do still have a job, don't
they, Nick? Got a crew of my own, Gray.

You asking me to put my crew on shore?

I can't do that, Nick.

I can't leave mine behind.
You want me to strand my crew?

For two months.

For two months or for good. No.
Take it or sink it. I'll sink it.

Sink it. Sink with it.

Gray, you always were a stubborn mule.
You told me yourself you got no choice.

You got a sink or a cellar. I'll sink it!

I got my principles.

Well, try carrying cargo with them.

My principles are going to
carry just as much cargo

as your flat torn...
That isn't even cutting.

My principles will carry as much...

All right, Nick. All right, you win.

On one condition.

You pay my crew full
salary while they're on shore.

I'll give them each $20.

You pay my men full
salary or the deal's off?

Half salary.

Shame on you for
eavesdropping. I thought you were in bed.

I was, but I heard a lot of
noise and I come out to see.

You came out to see. You
can just go right back.

Suddenly someone's being killed.

All right, well, you don't know.

Well, he sure sounds happy
enough. Maybe that fella's gonna help.

Well, if he is, the
captain will tell us without

our eavesdropping. Come on, Mal. Come on.

I'll bring my crew aboard and take
possession after she's out at dry dock then.

All right, Nick, all right,
but keep it quiet, will you?

I don't want my crew to
know until I tell them that.

How did it go? Did he accept?

First time in my life
I've ever lied to a friend.

Then everything went the way we planned.

No, not the way we planned.

You mean he wouldn't agree?

He agreed.

Well, darling, then what went badly?

Nick, I'm sorry.

I know how you must feel,
but... But if you hadn't come along,

he would have lost everything anyway.

Nick, it's for us too.

You don't understand the river. You
don't understand the people on the river.

Maybe you don't understand me either.

Holden's going to be
lost without his boat.

I know, I've been lost without
mine for the past six months.

I can't explain what a
man's boat means to him.

We'll find another way.

Darling, I'm sorry. I guess I'm
just beginning to learn about you.

We'll go back and tell him the deal's off.

Then what happens to us?

You know how long it'll take me to
earn enough money to get another boat?

Five, ten years, maybe never
the way things are on the river.

That's why I wanted us to have this
chance. Two months and no separations.

He'll lose the boat anyhow for good.

As it is, he gets her back
better than she ever was.

Oh, Nick, if you'd rather
not, if you feel that...

No, Nanette.

Gray's had worse than this happen to him.

So have I. But not again.

You give my life meaning.

It's the way it's gonna be, Nanette.

Darling, thank you.

Oh, thank you.

Wait, aren't you going to say
goodbye to Captain Holden? There's

one thing I'm not, it's a hypocrite.

The money those men drew came out
of his pocket. Conscience money.

As much as I'd like to keep it.

Darling, this is Mr. Channing, my
father's friend. Captain Logan.

Captain Logan.

Have the men put everything in
the salon. We'll start there.

Yeah, come on in.

I hope you look.

Goodbye.

Hey, wait a minute, boy.

You know, you can come visit me at Mrs.
Donlan's boarding house anytime you like.

Well, that is, if Joshua will let you.

He's not taking me.

Josh wasn't taking you?

Mr. Carney?

Well, then who is taking you?

Everyone else thought
you were taking me. Oh.

Well, uh...

I guess I thought the same thing.

You didn't ask me.

I guess I didn't think I had to.

I'd be very happy, Chip, if you could
spend the next two months with me. All right?

Yes, sir.

All right then, cabin boy. First mate,
pick up your duffel bag and let's go.

Take a good look, George. It won't be
the same when I get through with it.

How long?

Oh, I'd say two days.
Two days at the most.

We move to Clayton's Landing on Friday.

Before the miners spend their money
on foolish things like necessities.

Oh, darling, isn't it wonderful?

I've never seen anything like it.

Or like you.

Oh, I told you it would be
fun, Nick. People love to gamble.

Yeah, it's right
there. Some of these people

look as though they can't afford to lose.

And I say you're dead.
You think I'm blind?

I tell you, you're wrong. You're
not going to tell me anything.

Gentlemen, please.
What's wrong here, Charlie?

He hit me with a bottom
card. That's what's wrong.

Oh, you must be mistaken.

Lady, it's right here.
The Queen of Hearts.

I know it was on the bottom of the
deck because I cut before the deal.

You mean you looked?

He flashed when he picked them up.

He cheated me. It's a crooked
game. Now watch yourself, mister.

What about it, Charlie?

Why should I cheat him? I
only work for his salary.

I won.

I won again. Come on,
Captain, let me buy you a drink.

Go on, enjoy yourself.

No, thanks.

You bet. I'm going to stay aboard until
I own this boat. Let's have some action.

Doesn't look like anyone
cheated that man, mister.

And nobody cheated you.

Ma'am, you're a liar.

Stop it!

How much did you lose?

A month's pay, $80.

Well, give him the $80, Captain.

He's a bad loser.

I don't care.

Give me the money, please.

Now you take this money, get off
the boat, and don't come back.

I'm not gonna let you do that again, man.
From now on, I handle that type my way.

A man can't afford to
lose, he shouldn't play.

All right, darling.

I just didn't want you
to get hurt, that's all.

Hey, what are you boys doing?

We're just earning our
daily bread, Mr. Holden.

Oh, you stupid... Well, I'm fine, fine.

I just sent a bid on a cargo to St. Joe.

For when we get the Enterprise back.

Well, the new crew, I
know it pretty well by then.

Well, I was kind of
figuring on my own crew.

You boys better be ready to
give notice in this job. You know,

this is no job for a river boatman.

Well, it's a job we
won't see floating away

in the hands of
strangers. Come on, Carney.

You can see me, Skipper.

You had no call to talk to
him like that. No need for him.

Look, you'd go with him in
a rowboat if he had one.

You ain't playing.

Why not? I played yesterday.

We don't want no cheaters.

I didn't cheat. Your father does. I
don't have a father. You have two.

The man you live with.

Oh, that's Captain Holden.
I work for him on his boat.

I'm first mate and cabin boy.

First mate?

Hey, fillers, look at
who's first mate. Me too.

First mate on a gambling ship that
cheats people and robs from them. It is not.

It's a work boat.

It's up at Clayton's Landing
right now, cheating people.

You say one more lie like
that, I'm gonna hit you.

Your captain's a cheater and so are you.

Chip!

Shoo! Shoo! Or I'll take
the handle to you. Shoo!

Shoo!

All right, come on,
boy. Come on, break it up.

Come on. Now then,
what's this all about, huh?

Timmy said you're cheating
steel and said the Enterprise

was a gambling boat.
It is, too. All right.

All right, just stop it now. Stop it.

You shouldn't make up
stories like that, son.

It ain't either a story. My
uncle works at the Clayton Mines.

He says he was cheated
and beat up on your boat.

Where's your uncle now?

At my house.

He had to go see the doctor. He
couldn't even go to work today.

His uncle's a troublemaker
when he gets a snootful, Captain.

He probably drank up his
pay and made up the story.

That kind of talk doesn't
do a riverboat any good.

I'm gonna have to put
a stop to that story.

Let me finish stopping this one.

The only thing you're
gonna finish is your dinner.

You go on in the house
and see that he stays there

till I get back, Mrs.
Donlan. Come on, boy.

All right, son, where do you live?

Sure I said it!

And I'm gonna spread it from one end of
the river to the other before I'm through.

The Enterprise hauling
cargo in the Tennessee.

And I say she's tied up not more than
five miles from here, Clayton's landing.

She's leased to a friend of mine.

Do you think I know what she's doing?
Yeah. Yeah, I think you know real good.

You're playing it nice and innocent
while he cleans out the suckers for you.

The Enterprise? Yeah, the Enterprise.

Was the captain's name
Nick Logan? I don't know.

The only name I remember is
the crooked dealer Charlie.

Listen, mister, I'm gonna check
into this. You better be right.

Because if you're not, what you got
is a sample of what you're gonna get.

Don't you believe in knocking?

You've got something more important to
attend to. Gray Holden just came aboard.

He's gone into the casino.

You'd better get a show off.

Hit me.

Seventeen to eighteen.

Broke.

Nanette.

No, let him play for a while.

I'll have to face him sooner or later.

Well, darling, he can't be too
angry or he wouldn't be playing.

You don't know him.

Oh, please, darling, go back to the
cabin. Don't let him see you yet.

That man at Charlie's table?

Pass the word. Straight play wherever
he moves. The law? He owns the boat.

Oh.

Cards?

No trouble?

Well, there will be as soon as he sees me.

Oh, no.

Just don't get too close.

All right.

Hello, Gray.

Hello, Nick.

Let's do it outside where
we won't disturb anyone.

What are you talking about? Do what?

Aren't you sore? Now, who
ever heard of a sore winner?

Blackjack. Gray, I'd like you to meet
my partner and fiancée, Nanette Burns.

Really?

I didn't know you had a
partner, let alone a fiancée.

Well, I've heard a great
deal about you, Captain Holden.

Gray.

Well, what do you think of your boat?

Well, she's different anyway. Reminds me
of a girl I once knew down in New Orleans.

Very plain, simple girl.
Lost track of her for a while.

Next time I saw her, she
was all prettied up in

fancy clothes and rouge
working on Basin Street.

It's not a very nice comparison, Gray.
The only one I could think of at the moment.

I hope I didn't insult you.

I forgive you, Captain Gray.

Don't blame Nick, though. Blame me.

I just met you.

Yes.

Well, why don't you go
up to the cabin and talk?

I've made a few changes there, too.

I'll just bet you have.

I'll cash in your chips for you.

Count these, Charlie.

Give the boys a little action.

Why did you lie to me, Nick?

I needed a boat.

Incidentally, I saved it for you.

For my own good, huh?

What gave you the right to decide
that, or did the girl decide it for you?

I'll leave her out of it.

You leased me a boat. To
haul cargo on the Tennessee.

That's not what the contract says.
The contract says for legal use.

There's no law against
gambling. You gamble yourself.

There is a law against cheating
people, beating and robbing them.

Nobody's been cheated on this boat.

You played yourself. Did
you see anything crooked?

No.

As for beating people, sure.

Some saw heads blew in
their pay, they made trouble.

I threw them off myself.
You'd have done the same thing.

That's not the way I heard it.

Why didn't they go to
the police and complain?

Because they had nothing to back them up.

Uh-huh.

Greg, can I talk to you as a friend?

I'm listening.

You've had a taste of what it's like
to lose your boat just for a while.

Mine was going for good.

I was racked up on shore.

Then six weeks ago, I met Nanette. Where?

Stagecoach, Memphis to Natchez.

I was on my way to New
Orleans to look for a berth.

Gray Eye fell in love in
one day on that coach.

That's pretty fast, Nick.

Happens.

I was landlocked, I didn't have a dime.

But I got off the coach
at Natchez when she did.

And she fell in love with you?

Yes.

She's the most important thing in my life.

I'd do anything to keep her.

And keeping her meant getting back on the
river, that's all I know. Except gamble.

Or is that the only thing
that she knows how to do?

Oh, don't make it sound like that,
Grave. Her husband was a gambler.

He left her penniless for another woman.

It was a way to get back on my feet.

And a good one.

Do you know what I've
been thinking down there?

About guys like you and me?

We haul cargo, we push our boats, our
crew, ourselves to a half-dead for what?

Now, you've worked years for the
Enterprise, but you take my advice.

When you get her back,
leave her as she is.

Live on the river, don't
die on it. Maybe I will.

Maybe I will.

What do you mean?

If I only knew how.

Well, you can learn.

I'm learning.

Look, Gray, you play cards.

You're good.

Why don't you come on as a
dealer till the lease runs out?

All right, Nick, I will.

You mean it?

Yeah, yeah, I mean it.

I'll go back to Natchez and
see if the boy's taken care of,

and I'll be back tomorrow.

Well, now, you be a good boy. You do
everything that Mrs. Donlan tells you to do.

And don't get into any more fights
until I get back. Now, you hear?

Yes, sir. Why can't I come
with you to go on the Enterprise?

Come on up here.

You see, it's not always
easy to explain things.

But the Enterprise just
isn't a place for you, not now.

It is a gambling boat, isn't it?

Well... Can't you take it back?

I just can't, Chip.

You gonna work with them?

Be a gambler, too?

Well, I'm going to be a
dealer, but just for a little while.

You knew all about them
all the time, didn't you?

You'll put in with them.

That's why you got rid of the
rest of the crew, ain't it?

No, Chip, it isn't.

They said you didn't even
try to get the repair money.

I heard you laughing the night
you gave Captain Logan the boat.

Yeah, but that isn't the
reason we were laughing, Chip.

You're gonna be a cheater just like him.

You really believe that, Chip?

You're going with him.

Have you ever known me to cheat anybody
before, ever? Have I ever lied to you, Chip?

I don't know. Mostly you
just tell me to wash my ears.

Well, if you wash your ears good this
morning, you'll hear what I have to say. Now,

now, come here. I want to talk to you.

Tired of dealing already, Gray?

My player went broke. I wonder if
we're moving out of here upriver, huh,

in the next couple of days or so?

Why do you say that?

Well, the cream's all gone here.

There's no sense in licking skim milk
when there's plenty of cream waiting.

All we have to do is move upriver.

Well, did you come here
to learn or to teach?

Well, that depends on the subject.

And the student.

Well.

Then you like what I did with the cabin?

Well, I think the decor might look
better if the decorator were there.

Well, you can see when
you check your cash.

Later.

You, my two favorite people getting
to know each other better? Oh, yes,

we were just discussing education.

It's almost closing
time, and I have several

things to do, so if
you'll excuse me, please.

Have a drink before the bar shuts down.

All right.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Let me see those dice. What for?

You know what for. You're
going to give them to me

or do I have to take
them? What's the trouble?

I've been playing that don't
call me Stone Age straight passes.

He's just burned because I'm
winning. Well, he ain't my dice.

He's just a player like you.

A winner on this boat,
he's in cahoots with you.

All right, forget him. Get him out of
here. Get off of here and don't you come back.

That goes for you too. Sure,
mister. Take it easy, John.

I'm sick of people who
can't stand to lose.

You stand to lose?

Are you afraid of being cheated too, Nick?

You stay away from Nanette.

You stay away or I'll kill you.

Then he told me to get off the boat.
I thought you ought to know about it.

So there's bad blood between them, huh?

River men.

I knew she'd bite off
more than she could chew.

Boys don't like
working for a woman anyhow.

But from now on, they're working for me.

And so is she.

What are you gonna do?

Let them fight it out between them.

And I'll be there to
take care of the winner.

I'll tell you something
else. That Holden fella,

he's just as bad as the rest of them.

That's a lie!

Captain Holden didn't
know what they were doing.

Then I suppose that's why
you went up there to help him,

after the way I showed him up.

He isn't helping them.

Ah, he's a crook.

Beat it, you brat.

Before I wail the daylight's out of you.

Just wait until I get fit.

Come on, Andy. Joshua! Mr. Carney!

He pushed me out.

And I tell you, if the
Enterprise ever comes back,

every decent citizen of
Natchez ought to go aboard

her with torches and
burn her to the water line.

If she ever gets out of
Clayton's land... Excuse me, sir.

Yeah?

Did you strike this boy?

Oh, no, I just gave him a little shove.

Well, he is kind of a
nasty little brat, ain't he?

Yeah, he sure is.

Well, we love him.

Come on, Connie.

Boss wants to check your cash in
your cabin. He's gonna take my game.

I'll take it.

You take them too, Charlie?

Seen Captain Logan?

I don't watch people, I just steal cards.

From the top and the bottom. That's all
I noticed. All right, let's break now.

Why don't you cash in, boys?

Come in.

Charlie said you wanted to check my
cash. What's the matter? Don't you trust me?

Should I?

Why not?

Captain, you surprised me.

Surprised you? You expected it.

What kind of a girl do you think I am?

You want to know?

I knew it.

I knew the minute I saw
you, there'd be trouble.

The next time you want a boat, you
come see me first. Now, what about Nick?

He doesn't own me.

There can only be one captain of the
Enterprise, and I don't share anything.

You don't have to.

I mean anything. No cut of the take.

Nothing.

Oh.

Oh.

You'll be wild, Gray.

If you get him up here, I can handle him.

Well, there's somebody else, a
man by the name of Channing.

He put up the money for half a share.

He's gotten it back, hasn't he?

Well, we've been running less than a week.

I know how this casino
operates. Oh, honey.

You mean those dealers down there
have been putting on a show for me?

I thought it was for Nick.

Those games are... Honest?

Of course. Count the cash in my box. Now,

how do you think I get such a big
take by playing the percentages?

Do you know why I didn't
sell my boat to Channing?

Just before that log bumped into my bow,

I was on the way to pick
up a cargo of stolen army

munitions to take to the Indians out west.

I may still do it. It
depends on how good this deal is.

Oh, all we'll ever need. More
than you've ever dreamed of.

I think munitions pay more money.

Oh, not like this. Let me show you.

Here's what we've really been taking in.

That's what I've got to give.

Me.

I should have taken my own advice and not.

Well, Nick, we were about to send for
you. I bet you were, my friend. I warned you.

She's a woman, Nick, not a
boat. She's got a mind of her own.

It takes two, Nick. You're one of them.

That's enough, Nick.

Now you get ashore or
I'll let him kill you.

You heard it, Nick.

You're being dealt out.

Why, you poor sucker.

You were never even in.

Here.

Here, look at that.

Those are the actual
receipts of what really has

been taken in by the
casino in the last six days.

There'd been more if you
hadn't been protected.

You're thieves.

Yeah, her, not me, her.

Here.

Well, now that you know,
let's get the boat back.

Gray, Gray, what kind of a deal is this?

Well, your kind of a deal, baby.

Looks like we need a new dealer.

You mind if I play?

Oh, George, thank heaven
you're here. Holden fooled me.

I thought I could get him to come in
with us so we could get rid of Logan.

Why, my dear?

Well, because I knew
you were jealous of him.

That's very considerate of you.

You can make it up to me
when we're rid of both of them.

All right, George.

Over the side, Mr. Channing?

No, not yet. Wait till
we're moving upriver.

By then, Mr. Holden will be
conscious enough to sign a bill of sale.

Just tie him up.

Does that suit you, Nanette?

Oh, perfectly, George.

Just let me have one minute with him
before you throw him over the side.

Fine.

Get all that spirit out of your
system before you learn to obey.

George.

Oh, every time there's a here and a there,

I stay here and everybody else goes there.

Don't you suss me, young man. You
stay here and take care of the animals.

Hey, you're an animal.

Now, if you were to run away,
I'd have to go after you. Well,

what are you waiting for?

He's not aboard tonight.

A fellow named Logan. Logan?

That's not the way I heard it.
I thought his name was Holden.

She's laced from him.
He's down in Natchez.

Well, somebody told us he was up here.

Somebody told you wrong, then.

You going to play?

Oh, sure, sure.

Well, I guess so.

He isn't here. Let's try upstairs.

Here, Andy. Captain.

Go away, kid.

Captain, are you there?

What do you want, kid?

I'm looking for my father.

Go on, get out of here.

Stay here, Andy.

Funny one.

You a lucky man? Sure is.

Hey, boy. Come on.

Where?

Mama wants you home right away.

Mama who?

Must be my beloved wife.
Hey, get that kid out of here.

Yeah, this is no place for little boys.

I can't even play cards. Come on.

What was that for?

The captain said he's the captain.

Did you see him?

No, but Andy scratched the door like he
always does when the captain's there.

So I knocked and the man
answered. He had a gun.

Who's there?

It's me again, mister.

You should have told me the whole story.
I'm sorry, I misjudged you, Captain. Well,

can't you wait till you untie me here?

Isn't he in with them anymore?

No, he never really was,
Chip. He's just been sick.

With what? The measles?

No, no, no. The wrong kind of
love. That can be worse than measles.

We've got to get this boat
back before they move her.

We're badly
outnumbered, Captain. Yeah, now,

if you and Carney can take the engine
room. Now, go on, get it. Aye, sir.

All right, Nick, let's
go. Chip, you stay here.

Here again? Yep.

I saw that, mister. You pawned it.

Mister, there's a gun in your back. You
better apologize and get out of here alive.

I'm sorry. I guess I saw wrong.
I guess I had better get going.

They're playing too right, George.
Men are grumbling all over the place.

Individually. But
individually, they're afraid

of getting hurt. By
morning, we'll be gone.

You're being cheated!

The cards are marked, the dice are
loaded, and the wheels are rigged.

That's the captain here. That's right.

Get your money back!

All right, Sheriff, they're all yours.

Jailor Clayton's landing wasn't
big enough to hold them. Besides,

we had no accommodations for the ladies.

Nick?

Nick, I'm sorry. If I
just had another chance...

If somebody would help me.

You'd do the same thing.

Rhythm, men.

Why, thank you, ma'am. All
right, sure, take them away, huh?

Keep dealing from the bottom of the
deck, Charlie. All right, hustle them along.

That's right, keep them going.

Well, that's the end of Joe.

Oh.

Oh, my.

Oh, what a waste.

All right, cast off lines! Forward!

Halt!

You mind a passenger to New Orleans? Well,

that's our business, passengers and cargo.

This passenger can't pay.

You had money.

I spread that around
the landing this morning.

There were a few families short on food.

Well, I guess you can work
your way down to New Orleans.

Mr. Carney, I got another
stalker for your boiler gang.

I'd like that.

You think I can't do it?

Taking my life in my hands, though.

But then a navigator like you on a tub
like this... What do you mean, tub like this?

You think you're any better?
Get up to the pilot house,

see if you can keep us out of
the sandbars, huh? Come on!
