- Give him a chance and shut up!

He what...? Thanks, Doc.

The Indian sat up, asked for a drink

and made a pass at the nurse.

Thanks, Doc. We'll call you tomorrow.

- Youman! Another round.

- Yes, sir.

- Port!

- Port.

- Starboard!

- Starboard.

- Drop it!

- Drop it.

- Breakfast at six.

- It's a challenge we'll try to meet.

- Goodnight, everybody.

- Goodnight.

Goodnight, Brandy.

- Dead ahead, sailor.

- Aye, aye, sir!

Goodnight!

Before you go any further,

I should tell you, you're not alone.

I waited for you. The house boy

was gone and it was getting late.

Hi. I had to sleep somewhere

and I just picked a room.

I suppose I picked yours.

I hope you don't mind.

I don't mind... Who are you?

- Anna Maria D'Alessandro.

- What?

Anna Maria D'Alessandro.

And who are you?

I'm Sean Mercer, but...

What are you doing here?

- Trying to get some sleep.

- I don't mean that, I mean...

- You didn't expect me?

- I sure didn't.

- What's that for?

- I wanted to see if...

...if I was seeing things.

- You've been drinking a little.

No, ma'am. I've been drinking a lot.

Sean, I wanna talk to you about

tomorrow morning. Don't you think...?

I wanna talk to you about tomorrow...

- Is there somebody in your bed?

- Yes, there is.

What did you want to say to me?

I had something important to say.

Can't remember what it is.

- Who is she?

- I don't know.

Sean. Do you have some...?

I beg your pardon, I didn't expect...

He doesn't know who she is.

- Why is she in his bed?

- He doesn't know.

- I didn't say that.

- What did you say?

- I don't know.

- That's what you said.

- What?

- "I don't know."

If you don't know,

why did you say so?

You get me mixed up, now. You said...

Look, you don't listen.

Let's start from the start...

Please, I had a long trip

and I would like some sleep.

- Wouldn't you?

- I certainly would.

No, no, no. Who are you

and why are you in his bed...?

Why don't we leave the whole thing

until tomorrow?

She's right. We can face it

in the morning with clear heads.

- Yes, she is right. Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Goodnight, Sean.

Thanks for the use of your room.

I didn't have much to say about it,

did I?

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Anybody want one of these?

Black coffee.

Morning! Good morning, Sean.

- Jambo, Arga!

- Jambo!

What have we got for breakfast?

Bacon and eggs...

My favourite, codfish cakes.

Deep-fried with antelope fat,

I love it.

- Isn't anybody eating?

- Please, Pockets.

- Go away or shut up.

- Preferably both.

He's not human.

To drink that much and not feel it...

- We had a big night last night.

- You remember?

- Sean. I'm going on the wagon.

- Why?
