if wings were to carry you to your ancestors.

You better get packed.

We're getting out of here.

No, they've tortured Ah Toy

and made her tell.

Chan Lo will never let you leave.

He won't get a chance

to pull any tricks on me.

Meet me in the tunnel under the garden.

Tell Wing to have a coach waiting.

[Ship horn blowing]

Ship's boat is here, sir.

And there's two women in it.

You men get forward and go below.

Do you hear me?

If you don't want to take orders,

you can jump overboard right now.

I'm the captain here, and if you don't like it,

I'll bust it over your skulls.

- What's that guy roaring about?

- That's Capt. Bull Brackett.

He's the toughest man in these waters,

and he means what he says.

BULL:
Take the bags up, Limey.

LIMEY:
Right away, sir.

- I am the captain.

- I'm glad you told me.

Stand by to weigh anchor.

What's the matter?

- Palmer never told me what you was like.

- No, what did you think?

All I knew, you was a woman...

who wanted to make a trip to Nome

and couldn't wait for a passenger boat.

I'll say I couldn't.

So what's the matter with this boat?

Don't it ever go?

We're shoving off right now.

- Grigsby, shove off, shove off.

- Aye, aye, sir. Getting under way.

[Ship horn blowing]

- I'm giving you my cabin.

- You're good to me.

Yeah, I am going to bunk in here.

But you can use this, too.

For a sitting room or a parlour,

whatever you'd like to call it.

It will do.

BULL:
If there's anything you want,

just yell for it.

You've got to yell for it? Fah Wong?

Turn back the sheets,

I'm heading for the arms of Morpheus.

The arms of who?

I was just saying in my quaint way

that I was going to sleep.

BULL:
You had me there for a minute.

- Captain very nice man, huh?

- Yeah, too nice.

- What's the matter?

- Man was looking in window.

Forget it. It ain't the first time

a guy ever looked in my window.

- What are you doing here?

- Just been cleaning up.

All right, get out of here, and stay forward.

- All right, sir.

- No, wait a minute.

I want you to get me a big breakfast.

Everything you can think of.

- Make it extra special.

- You just had your breakfast.

You botheration. Get out of here.

Right. Breakfast it is, sir. Yes.

[Knocking on door]

[Speaking in Chinese]

So you're up?

How did you sleep?

Never better. How do you feel?

I'd like the chance to tell you about that.

Yeah? How long before we get to Nome?

About three weeks.

Then you'll have lots of time.

I want to tell you something.

Don't let the crew see you.

Because we never had

a women passenger on this boat.

That is, none like you.

Might get hard to handle.

[Knocking on door]

- Now, there's your breakfast.
