Quotes1

  • Captain Nolan: Took out for me? Um... Thanks
  • [reads book cover]
  • Captain Nolan: "Whales and dolphins in science and mythology in celebration of the world's least known intelligence." Must be a book about me. Herman Melville believed if God returns to this planet he'll come back as a whale. Haha. Ah c'mon, you can't really believe all this stuff, can you? Forgive me laugin' now, I'm not laughing at you, but all this stuff is a bit heavy for me to digest. But thanks for the book.
  • Rachel: You're very welcome.
  • Captain Nolan: When we're finished burying the old whale, I want to give a... a wake at my house. Can I buy you a drink, will you come?
  • Rachel: Thanks.
  • Al Swain: Nolan, you got a minute?
  • Captain Nolan: Yes, whaddya you want.
  • Al Swain: You're in a pretty big hurry to bury that whale there, aren't ya?
  • Captain Nolan: I was.
  • Al Swain: Well I've got some good news for you, the boatyard's given you priority. They're hauling your Bumpo to fix it first thing in the morning.
  • Captain Nolan: Ahh. Would you like a drink? Well you didn't drive out all this way, just tell me that?
  • Al Swain: We figured you'd wanna know.
  • Captain Nolan: Well now that's... that's nice of you. But actually, I'm not in any great hurry to sail away from South Harbor at all.
  • Al Swain: You mean you're staying around 'til you kill that whale?
  • Captain Nolan: Kill the whale? Not at all. I'm staying around because I paid a month's rent on my house. Plus the fact I got a crew member with a busted foot. Ain't got nothing to do with the whale at all. Did I say somethin' wrong?
  • Captain Nolan: First two boats are sunk, now the fish are vanishing from the fishing grounds. And it's all because of your whale.
  • Captain Nolan: My whale?
  • [laughs]
  • Captain Nolan: And will you forget about the whale, I forgot and about him already. And I betcha, you'll never see him around here again.
  • Al Swain: An hour ago a kids saw a fin off the North Point. A fin with a nick in it.. stationary. It's just waiting.
  • Rachel: Don't go down to the North Point, Nolan.
  • Captain Nolan: Why would I?
  • Rachel: Just don't he's...
  • Captain Nolan: Look I said, why would I? Now why would I? I'll see you tonight, right?
  • Rachel: Wrong.
