GOING BACK TO SCHOOL.

YOU GOT TO GE ED-I-CATED. HMM!

TUGBOAT'S NO PLACE FOR A BOY WHO

WANTS TO BE CAPTAIN OF A BIG LINER.

SAY, SUPPOSE YOU WAS

CAPTAIN OF A BIG LINER

AND SOME SWELL PEOPLE

WOULD COME ABOARD,

LIKE A PROFESSOR OR A BANK

PRESIDENT OR A CORONER,

AND THEY SHOULD TALK

TO YOU IN...IN LATIN,

AND YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHA THEY WAS TALKING ABOUT.

WHY, THAT'D BE TERRIBLE.

THEY MIGH ASK YOU TO HAVE

SOME PATTY FOZE GRAZ (PT DE

FOIE GRAS) OR CAVIOX (CAVIAR)

OR SOMETHING, AND YOU WOULDN' KNOW WHAT THEY WAS SAYING.

HMM! OH, NO. YOU GO TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.

BUT, MOM,

DON'T YOU SEE-

YOU KNOW, YOUR PAPA AND ME IS

GONNA BUST WIDE-OPEN WITH PRIDE

THE DAY WE SEE YOU GO

KERSLOPPING PAST THE OLD NARCISSUS

ON THE BRIDGE:

OF YOUR OWN LINER.

HA HA HA! OOH!

BET YOU EVEN TRY TO RUN

US DOWN, YOU BIG SMARTY.

HA HA HA! HMM.

ALEC BRENNAN,

MASTER MARINER.

THERE SHE IS!

WHERE?

OH, THERE SHE IS!

OW! OH!

WHAT'S THE MATTER

WITH YOU?

YOU'RE ON MY FOOT,

YOU BIG OX.

OH. OH, LOOK.

LOOK!

HA HA!

THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR

US BRENNANS, AIN'T IT?

OH! OH, GO ON AWAY,

YOU BIG APE.

HA HA! KISS LIKE

A WET PAINTBRUSH.

SAY, KISSING ME

- PEOPLE WILL THINK YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING.

WHO, ME?

OHH! NOW, IS THA A NICE THING TO SAY

ABOUT A MAN WHO AIN' HAD A DRINK IN 5 WEEKS?

ALEC WILL BE THAT PROUD.

WAIT UNTIL HE HEARS THAT I AIN'T GONNA

TAKE ANOTHER DRINK AS LONG AS I LIVE.

YOU KNOW, IT TAKES A BIG MAN

TO STOP COLD JUST LIKE THAT.

AIN'T IT THE TRUTH?

GO ON, HUSTLE. PUT ON A CLEAN

SHIRT AND YOUR OTHER PANTS.

OH, NO, ANNIE. THIS IS

ALL RIGHT. I DON'T WANT-

GO ON, NOW.

DO AS I TELL YOU.

OH...

WHEN YOU'RE DRESSED UP, THERE

AIN'T NO HOOLIGAN ON THE WATERFRON LOOKS AS GRAND

AS YOU DO.

SAY, MANY'S THE TIME

I'VE HEARD ALEC SAY,

"WHEN POP'S

IN HIS SUNDAY BEST,

YOU COULD ALMOS MISTAKE HIM FOR A GENT."

HE ALWAYS WAS A BOY

TO TAKE NOTICE. YEAH.

YEAH.

BUT WE GOT TO:

DO HIM UP PROUD,

SHOW HIM WHERE HE GETS

HIS GOOD LOOKS FROM, HUH?

AND ME ON THE WATER WAGON. HOT DOGGIE!

GO ON. GO ON.

GET ALL SPROUSED UP,

AND DON'T TALK

SO MUCH ABOUT IT.

I WAS JUST WONDERING WHA YOUR FATHER'S GOING TO SAY.

AFTER ALL, YOU ARE

PATRICIA SEVERN AND-

AND MY FATHER WILL PROBABLY

THANK HIS LUCKY STARS

THAT IF HIS PRECIOUS

DAUGHTER HAD TO FALL IN LOVE,

SHE'D PICK

THE CRACK CAPTAIN

OF HIS WHOLE:

DARN STEAMSHIP LINE.

THAT'S PROBABLY MOTHER.

SHE'S COMING UP

THE SOUND TO MEET ME.

DOESN'T SOUND MUCH LIKE

HER VOICE AS I REMEMBER IT.

HA HA! SILLY.

SHE'S A GRAND PERSON,

ISN'T SHE, ALEC?

THEY DON'T COME

ANY BETTER.

I WANT TO MAKE THINGS EASIER

FOR HER NOW THAT I CAN.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW IT YET, BUT DOCKING

MY SHIP TODAY IS HER LAST JOB.
