- [last lines]
- Bill Randall (skipper of 1087: [narrating] And so she died. She gave up and died... in anger and in shame. Yes, she had her pride!
- Bill Randall (skipper of 1087: But don't forget I'm in this with you and Birdie.
- George Hoskins: Look, let me deal with the sordid details. They're right my street. You're happy with the ship. I'll leave that to you.
- Bill Randall (skipper of 1087: Okay, I'm responsible for 1087. Then I'd better know what she's expected to do.
- George Hoskins: Oooh! For Pete's sake, is the ship goin' to have a say in the kinds of jobs we take on?
- Bill Randall (skipper of 1087: She won't ask any questions certainly.
- George Hoskins: Like the ideal woman, aay? She does what you want when you want it. If we knew the way and could set a course for Hell, she'd go!
- Bill Randall (skipper of 1087: [referring to a suspicious-looking passenger] I wonder who the devil he is!
- George Hoskins: Let's just say 500 quid and leave it at that!
- George Hoskins: You said the jobs were getting worse. You're right. Last night was too much!
- [he crushes the newspaper in his hands]
- George Hoskins: We'll get out!
- Bill Randall (skipper of 1087: Do you really believe we can get out now?... finish? Clean off the muck and forget what we've done? Do you really believe that?
- George Hoskins: Why not?
- Bill Randall (skipper of 1087: Because it happened! We did those things! From the smuggling of a few bottles of wine in the early days to the carrying of that raving maniac last night! We did it all, George, and we can't wipe that off the scoreboard!
- Birdie: She won't do it... not after what we made her do, not after that! She's got her pride - like all of us! She won't do it! You can't blame her!
- Bill Randall (skipper of 1087: No, Birdie, I don't blame her.
- Bill Randall (skipper of 1087: [narrating] I know about ships. They're wood and metal and nothing else. They don't have souls. They don't have wills of their own. And they don't talk back.
- George Hoskins: The old firm eh? Hoskins and Randall...
- Bill Randall (skipper of 1087: Put like that our operations were practically a moral crusade. Our only aim in life was to make people happy. Hoskins did the fixing. I sailed the boat.
