• Faith Mapple : We just moved here from Boston.

  Ahab Ceely : You did? Well, wherever you're from they - they're sure missing you.

  Derek : And we'll be missing church if we don't hurry.

  Faith Mapple : Well, won't you come too?

  Ahab Ceely : Well, ma'am, right now, my thirst needs more looking after than my soul.

• Derek : You shouldn't make fun of religion, Ahab.

  Ahab Ceely : Don't know enough about it to make fun of it, son.

• Faith Mapple : I love Ahab. I'll never love anyone else, Derek.

  Derek : And all he knows is hate - for a stupid fish.

• Derek : She's willing to keep her promise.

  Ahab Ceely : Which one?

  Derek : To marry you, of course. She won't go back on her word - if you want to hold her to it.

  Ahab Ceely : She told you that?

  Derek : She sent me here to tell you.

  Ahab Ceely : I see. Changing her name - from Faith to Charity. What does that make me? Hope?

  Derek : Well, I wouldn't hope for too much, Ahab.

• Derek : She's waiting for you at the the house.

  Ahab Ceely : So's Moby Dick! Down by the Seven Seas!

• Derek : Faith isn't like these New Bedford women. She's soft.

• Derek : It's me. I'm not a ghost!

  Captain Ahab Ceely : How did you get here?

  Derek : Same as the rest of the crew got here.

  Captain Ahab Ceely : You mean they Shanghaied you too?

  Derek : Don't pretend you didn't order him to.

  Captain Ahab Ceely : My orders were to empty the grog shops and the *brothels* - not the church pews.

• Ahab Ceely : [sees Faith for the first time]  Who the... who is she?

  Derek : A friend. I work for her father.

  Ahab Ceely : Huh? Why, you ain't, uhh...

  Derek : Certainly not.

  Ahab Ceely : Hmm... what's the matter with you?
