- Ahab Ceely: Ah, you cute little rascal. Hey, you're getting prettier every year. Hey, how old are you now, huh?
- Blonde on Dock: Eighteen - next Tuesday.
- Ahab Ceely: I'll see you Wednesday.
- Ahab Ceely: [to Derek about Faith concerning his disfiguring pigleg] She's willing to be a dutiful wife even if she gags at the sight of me!
- Ahab Ceely: Fat Fanny! Hey, baby, if they cut into you they'd certainly get plenty of blubber.
- [spanks Fat Fanny's fanny]
- Ahab Ceely: [singing] Oh, I like 'em white, I like 'em black, I like 'em pink or green, That's the cutest little son of a gun, That I have ever seen. La de doodle do do do...
- 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.
- Whale Oil Rosie: [admiring Ahab's arm tattoo] Say, where's my name, dearie?
- Ahab Ceely: On the seat of my pants, sweetie.
- Ahab Ceely: [left alone in the Spouter Inn with only Queequeg and a drunken Whale Oil Rosie] Nothing but that heathen and that little buttercup for company. I might just as well have stayed in Singapore. Sing-apore.
- Faith Mapple: [admiring Ahab's tattoos] What are those? Names of boats you've sailed on?
- Ahab Ceely: Nope, just girls I've met. That's Steamboat Liz, she's in China. She's a nice girl, if she didn't hit the pipe... Rosie, here, is different. She's always full of rum. And Flora Bell, she's a cute little thing. You can't see her. She's in Japan. She's white, though - that is she's purty near white when she's cleaned up.
- Faith Mapple: You're trying hard to live up to your reputation, aren't you.
- Ahab Ceely: Huh? No, down to it. I'll be seeing them all again pretty soon, I guess.
- Captain Ahab Ceely: Go ashore and shake the vermin up! And the nearer to hell you get 'em from, the better.
- 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.
- Captain Ahab Ceely: Do we got a full crew?
- Stubbs: Shanghaied 'em, the lot, as you told me too, sir. They're more used to cuttin' throats than whaling.
- Stubbs: No sailor worth his salt will sign onto the Shanghai Lady, sir.
- Captain Ahab Ceely: You remember her name. Shanghai a crew.
- Stubbs: In New Bedford, sir?
- Captain Ahab Ceely: Why not? There's just as many grog shops and brothels here as any other port.
- Captain Ahab Ceely: Good afternoon, gentlemen. You're the finest looking bunch of scuttling cut-throats - I ever had the honor to meet up with. You need to be, where we're heading.
- Starbuck: Where to?
- Stubbs: Same as always: Moby Dick. I tell you, I don't like the looks of things, Mr. Starbuck. Crazy Captain. A heathen image. I seen it, with my own eyes. There goes that voodoo drum again. We're headin' for something, Mr. Starbuck. I don't know what.
- Starbuck: We're headin' for *hell*, that's where.
- 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.
- Captain Ahab Ceely: You may head her about, Mr. Stubbs, and make for the China coast.
- Stubbs: Are you giving up the hunt for Moby Dick, sir?
- Captain Ahab Ceely: He's licked me, Mr. Stubbs.
- Captain Ahab Ceely: What does your wooden god say now, you jungle worshiper?
- Queequeg: He say...
- Captain Ahab Ceely: Ahhh! Shut up. The little heathen god's a liar.
- Captain Ahab Ceely: You didn't see nothing yet?
- Stubbs: No self respecting whale would come out in this weather, sir.
- Captain Ahab Ceely: Your jokes well timed.
- Captain Ahab Ceely: Head back from those boats! My crew only lowers for Moby Dick.
- Shanghaied shipmate: A fine lot of sperm this crew will get us.
- Captain Ahab Ceely: I'm running this ship! The sooner you get that through your thick skulls, the better. And if you don't like it - swim home.
- Singapore Poppy: For me, baby? Yes? My name's Poppy. Me, nice gal, too.
- Captain Ahab Ceely: I'm buying ships, not women.
- 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?
