I just don't see the romance in it.
But you've got it, Captain Greenlaw.
You do. Believe me.
I've seen them come and go.
The day I laid eyes on you, I said,
"She's gonna be a good one."
You can't be good unless you love it.
The fog's just lifting.
You throw off your bow line,
throw off your stern.
You head out the South Channel...
...past Rocky Neck,
Ten Pound Island...
...past Niles Pond,
where I skated as a kid.
Blow your horn...
...and wave to the lighthouse
keeper's kid on Thatcher Island.
Then the birds show up.
Black-backs...
...herring gulls, big dump ducks.
The sun hits you.
Head north, open up to 1 2.
You're steaming now.
The guys are busy,
you're in charge.
You know what?
You're a goddamn swordboat captain.
Is there anything better in the world?
Sully.
So what do you think?
You been busy?
Busy enough.
I was working menhaden in Annisquam.
But they laid off Labor Day.
Mended nets over in Fairhaven.
That's crap.
What's this you're doing now?
Helping out a friend.
He paying you?
He's my friend.
Murphy keep his site?
You want this job or not?
I do.
Lord, did I do that?
Yeah, you did.
But I'm not completely blind.
I can still see out of the other one.
Next time I should break a leg.
Then you can stay home
and collect disability.
Think of all those
handicapped parking spaces.
Tell me last night was worth it.
I can't remember.
Can't remember, my ass.
No, I remember your ass.
There's nothing like
sleeping with you.
Just sleeping...
...lying next to you...
...all warm and sweet.
And me wishing the morning
would never come.
Catching up.
Oh, boy, oh, boy.
Look at that shiner.
Come on, Murph, will you?
Good morning.
Where'd you get the mouse?
Chris "Boom-Boom" Cotter.
Put some hair around that hole,
I bet you could hit it.
Not with a pool cue,
or any other pointed instrument.
What do you know except to cut squid
and take them to bed with you?
Ethel, where you getting
The welfare office?
Who gave you that scar, tough guy?
Back off! Back off.
Come on, swing it.
You a**holes!
How you gonna act onboard if you're
already at each other's throats?
All right, Ma.
See you onboard.
-Alfred Pierre, one for the road?
-No, tanks, Mom.
"No, tanks, Mom."
Guy can't even speak good English.
Well, anyway, can I get you anything?
Let's go, boys.
I'll wait for you in the car, Bobby.
Catch fish, boys. Lots of them.
Full ahead.
Hold down the fort, Quentin.
Thanks, Q.
Thanks, Ethel.
Gotta go, Mom.
The Grand Banks.
I know.
Grand Banks are no joke in October.
All right?
Be careful.
