""For in much wisdom is much grief," " and he that increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow."" ""For God shall bring every work and every secret thing into judgement," " whether it be good, or whether it be evil."" " Captain..." " He has a right to bear witness." "Jesus, it's breaking up!" "Get back to the ship, Captain." "Leave the damn torch!" "Come with us." "I am done with man." "Help!" "Captain!" "Where to now, Captain?" "Home."
