• 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.

• 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.

• 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 : 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.
