• Faith Mapple : [to Capt. Ahab]  Why... Why, Ahab Creely! You're crying!

• Faith Mapple : I've heard lots about you.

  Ahab Ceely : Well, don't you believe a half of it.

• 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.

• Faith Mapple : [to Ahab]  Oh, please, you're not as bad as your tattoos.

• 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.

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

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