Quotes2

  • Captain Nolan: Can you commit a sin against an animal?
  • Priest: Why, you can commit a sin against a blade of grass. Sins are really against oneself.
  • Priest: [at Novak's funeral] Rest Eternal, grant him, O Lord. Let light perpetual shine upon him. Amen.
  • Captain Nolan: That was nice, Reverend. Thanks. Now, would you... would you give this in his name to the Seamen's Fund? See he didn't have any family.
  • Priest: I thank you.
  • Captain Nolan: There's ah.. something I'd.. I'd like to ask you, Reverend.
  • Priest: Yes?
  • Captain Nolan: Would you wait for me outside, Paul?
  • Priest: You're Irish?
  • Captain Nolan: Aye.. can't lose the accent, I've been here 16 years, laborers are a dime-a-dozen at home, but I came over here and I worked for my uncle on his boat. And he died and he left me the boat, mortgaged, and he left me Gus. Dear old Gus. You know, he taught me everything I know, which is precious little.
  • Priest: I can understand how badly you must feel about his death.
  • Captain Nolan: Well, he was a fisherman and fisherman like to die at sea. He'd a fear of dying in an old home with pipes and tubes stuck out of him. You know what I mean? But, uh.. to die like this...
  • Priest: Don't take it too much to heart, what's done is done.
  • Captain Nolan: Right. Hah. Um.. Reverend. Wha.. wha.. What I was meaning to ask ya like... Can you commit a sin against an animal?
  • Priest: Why, you can commit a sin against a blade of grass. Sins are really against oneself. You understand?
  • Captain Nolan: I do. Thank you, Reverend.
