Whisky Galore! Page #4

Well... what about it?

If I'm not good enough to come to tea at your house

then I'm not good enough to marry you.

I'll not be taking you from your mothers apron.

She doesn't know you are weaned.

Well it was a bit of a shock to her

She'd feel the same about any girl!

Any girl! If I'm just any girl to you, George Campbell

You'll be any man to me.

But, look, let me explain...

Yes! Explain! Write it up on the blackboard!

Your mother might be treating you like a baby but

she'll not be treating me like one.

You hear that, doctor?

Aye. It'll be a ship out in the Minch.

I was hearing it as I came up the road.

And how are you feeling today?

I'm not feeling like anything at all.

Just bones, that's all.

I brought you some tobacco.

Thank you, doctor.

My pipe is gone - fell to pieces on me.

And not a pipe to be bought

And John MacCloud says he doesn't know

when he'll be having another.

I don't believe the world has been in

such a terrible mess

since the Flood!

We can't have you giving up smoking

as well as everything else.

Here's a pipe of mine.

I couldn't be robbing you of your own pipe, doctor

You're too kind altogether.

Doctor's orders. I have another one.

Ah well... it's yourself that is the doctor.

Right enough.

I only wish I could have brought you a dram

to go with it

I'd have liked fine to have just one more

really good dram

before I join the old woman!

You've many years to live yet.

I know better, doctor.

but I mean no disrespect to you by that.

I'm looking at life just as I'm looking

at my croft just now

And seeing the fog coming creeping in from the sea

and covering it up

and turning it into just nothing at all.

It might clear, there is no telling.

Not before midnight I'm thinking.

It is the Sabbath tomorrow.

You'll be here 'til Monday.

Hark! Isn't that the bell on the Skerrydoo?

I don't hear anything.

We must look out we don't get too near the islands.

I'm not going to put my ship on the Skerrydoo!

I tell you we are nowhere near any island!

- I was sitting on broken glass for a week. My father

- Shh!

Listen! She's stopped.

It is queer, right enough!

Is that you, Joseph?

I've just been through to the Coastguard hut.

They say they caught a glimpse of her a few hours ago

when the fog lifted.

What size of a ship was she?

4000 ton.

I have a mind to go out to her.

it's not so thick now.

She'll be needing a pilot.

- Will I come with you Biffer?

- Aye, come

Isn't that asking for trouble?

Ach! The Biffer knows every rock in Todday

by it's name.

And it will be a big feather in his cap

if he can put them on their course again.

And a big feather in his pocket too!

What island is this?
