00:03:30 And the Consul-General has cabled here for a competent man to take command.
00:06:58 I am the new captain of this ship.
00:09:38 - Everything is in order, Captain - Fine.
00:13:10 They are simple enough. And are provisions expensive here?
00:16:16 After knowing the woman at Haiphong, the Captain disappeared for a week.

00:23:05 I'll discredit you to the owner. That's what I think of you.
00:25:04 What quality do you admire in women?
00:28:19 I'm merely proposing a bit of business.
00:31:22 Riff raff!
00:33:58 - If you'll allow me, I think it's time. - I'll come with you.
00:38:58 - You're back early. - Business is quiet. Sit down.

01:01:17 I want to talk to Burns.
01:04:11 I've come down to close the port-hole of Mr. Burns.
01:06:56 Keep the wind behind if it rises.
01:08:55 In a moment you'll see the ship pivot on its keel and tack.
01:12:50 Looks like this breeze has refreshed us Mr. Burns.
01:16:23 I urge you to take a narcotic. I'll give you a prescription.
