Nathanial Mayweather edit

  • These pipes are clean!
  • I just don't get it! She seems totally uninterested in me, despite my smothering obsessiveness!
  • Paps, you've been like the drunken, abusive grandfather I never had.
  • We should call this place Wackyville... because it's wacky!

Old salt in fishing village edit

  • When you're on the Queen Catherine, don't let 'em give you any of that flank steak bullshit. You know what I mean? Try the London Broil.
  • Gosh you're cute. Wanna buy a monkey?
  • Man, oh man, I hate those fancy lads!

Others edit

  • Trina: Thats wonderful. I'm always flattered when a psychotic becomes smitten with me.
  • Cupcake: Now I know what you're thinking. "What could be stranger than a big fatass floatin' cupcake?" Heh. How about one that spits tobacco?
  • Kenny: Mmmm. Gum.
  • Paps: Okay, you icy bastard, how about a hot cup-a joe!

Dialogue edit

Nathanial: Paps, you've been like the drunken, abusive grandfather I never had.
Paps: Ah, stop that. You'll have my glass eye foggin' over.

Nathanial: Oh, cappy, tell me about all of this. Tell me about the sea. What does it mean to you?
Captain Greybar: Basically, money. I come from six generations of seamen all with the same goal in life: catch fish, sell 'em, get drunk, and get laid.

Nathanial: I love sitting up here, looking at those bright, twinkly things in the sky, I forget their technical name.
Trina: Stars.
Nathanial: Whatever.

Nathanial: I overheard the captain saying it would be jolly-jack splendid to spend a fortnight or two in Hawaii
Kenny: Yea... that sounds like the captain... you do good impressions.

Skunk: We're just here to catch fish and stink.
Paps: Mostly the latter.

Trina: And secondly, don't ever call me missy again or you'll end up losing the rest of your teeth.
Paps: Sassy little thang ain't she? Want me to give her a SPANKING?
Skunk: Why doesn't she give ME a spanking?
