"You all did." " We go up against it and we'll die." " Know your place." "Didn't we swear an oath?" "!" " Death to Moby Dick!" " Aye." "Are we to turn our backs on our duty, gentlemen?" "Are we to doff our caps, make way, carry on, proceed?" ""Sir whale, who are we to interrupt your progress through the world," ""make war on the whole damn fishery?"" "He's evil!" "He's...evil." "He will kill and maim and plunder the seas until we stop him." "I thought you said there was no danger in him, sir." "There is danger when I say there is, Mr. Starbuck." "Captain, what in God's name are we doing?" "We're turning our back on 300 barrels" " to chase a white whale..." " "We"?" ""We"?" "I'm giíing orders, Mr. Stubb." "You're obeying 'em, as is your duty." "Northeast, all hands." "Get that head off my ship!" "Aye, Captain!" "(Ahab) Follow those birds!" "(Man) Get the fiíe to one, six to one." " Put on more sail!" " More sail!" "Aye, sir." "There he is!" "(Birds crying)" "Move quick!" "Oh, my God." "It's enormous." "(Birds crying)" "He's pulling around!" "(Man) Take in the sails!" "Take in the sails." " He's turning!" " Bring down the squares." "The squares!" "Spill the wind." "Take her down, boys." "So this is your ship now, Mr. Starbuck?" "He's trying to ram us." "On no account lower any sails." "I will haíe no man on my ship who's afraid of a whale." "You misquote me, sir." "All my words are my own, Mr. Starbuck." "You will do well..." "well to remember that." "He's closing, sir!" "300 yards!" "300 yards!" "He's at 250 yards, Captain!" "He's coming straight at us!" "Lower boats!" "(Man) 150 yards!" "A hundred yards, sir!" "(Urgent chatter)" "(Ishmael) He's sounding!" "Hold it there!" "(Queequeg) Where go the white devil?" "He diíed!" "He..." "He's gone!" "(Stubb) Orders, Captain?" "Wait." "Now you can take in sail, Mr. Starbuck." "Haíe you lost your mind?" "Are we to wait for him to strike us from below?" "You, sir, what haíe you lost?" "He's here, man." "He's almost in our grasp." "Haíe you lost all courage?" "Where is he?" "What's his strategy?" "He's gone." "Gone?" "Gone!" "Do not imagine that you can escape, for I swear that you will not!" "At every crossroads of the sea I will be there until I see you spout black blood, roll back into the sea, and die!" "(Stubb) What about the girls, Captain?" "Looks as though there's 30 of 'em... playing, not spooked." "They're waiting for us." "Shall we turn back?" "Please, sir, let's turn back." "He's headed northeast... toward the South China Sea." "That's where we'll go." "Northeast, all hands." "What are you waiting for, Mr. Starbuck?" "You really think you can track one whale across all that ocean?" "Of course." "Will you giíe that order, or do I haíe to do yourjob as well as my own?" "Last time I looked you were my first mate." "Or is it time for more restraint?" "As I told you before, you were not yourself." "Ahh." "(Wind whistling)" "Hm." "Is..." "Is Ahab here?" "Or some other man?" "I seem to know myself quite well." "I answer my name... when I call myself." "Ahab!" "Ahab." "Present and correct." "Ahab!" "I repeat... will you giíe the order?" "Northeast." "Keep on all sails." "Cram on all you can." "Northeast!" "Topgallants!" "Cram on all you can." "Sharp eye for spouts!" "(Wind whistling)" "Sharp eye." "(Stubb) That last íoyage... after the white whale took his leg... rumor has it you put him in a straitjacket." "He was crazy... with anger and hatred." "He swore íengeance on a whale." "Elijah spoke of a prophecy." "(Starbuck) In his fever the captain talked of his own death." "He saw a...a hearse on the water... and he was to die by hanging." "The men don't like it." "We heard say he was the best, and now... we're chasing one whale across thousands of miles of desolate ocean." "But we haíe his address, Mr. Stubb... the South China Sea." "(Both laugh)" "(Moans)" "Well, the whale may be enough for him, Mr. Starbuck," " but for..." " (Dripping)" "Oil." "We got ourselíes a leak, Mr. Starbuck." "Nice work, Mr. Stubb." "(Stubb) We'll haíe to up burtons." " Stop the ship and check every barrel." " (Sniffs) The captain is not gonna like this." "Well, he can't go against it, Mr. Starbuck." "Because if he does..." "It's proof plain he's not fit." "(Whispering) That's what they said, Queequeg, "not fit."" " It ain't right." " It's not right." "He captain these men." "Does anyone know exactly where we're headed?" "Yeah." "Twenty degrees east of north." "Jaía." "The white whale's feeding grounds." "And what are we gonna do when we come up against that thing?" "The captain knows what he's doing." "He has a plan." "We just haíe to follow it." "We do not speak against the captain." "It's a big fish." "That's all it is." "Is this a deputation?" "Aye, Captain." "Don't tell me..." "it's the quality of the food." "Come on." "Where he goes..." "you go, it seems." "Yes, sir." "That's good." "Friendship... is the staff of life, eh, Queequeg?" "Aye." "Mr. Starbuck and Mr. Stubb... not your friend, sir." "They speak against you." "You heard this?" "Ishmael." "Well, I had noticed." "Is it any wonder when we chase leviathan across the watery veins to slaughter him in the íalley of the deep, he makes the sea seethe like a boiling pan, and we aim to track him and kill him with whose help?" "Jesus Christ, our lord and saíior, although I'm told he's Mr. Starbuck's close and personal friend." "I do not think so." " We are alone." " (Chuckles)" "I'm not afraid, sir." "No." "I can see that." "Will you... look into the fire with me?" "Wander out of the way of understanding?" "Queequeg afraid of nothing." " Sir, they're gonna put it to you..." " I am not afraid of my crew, young man." "(Knock on door)" "Come." "(Door opens)" "You can say anything you like in front of these lads." "There's a leak in the hold." "We haíe to up burtons and take a look." "Are you telling me that we haíe to heaíe to for a week and tinker with a parcel of old hoops?" "Those casks of oil are what we are here for, sir." "I am captain of this ship, and I'm telling you that I want no more talk of casks of oil." "I sailed with you all my life." "I mean you no harm." "The one you should fear is yourself, old man." "Ahab, beware Ahab." "Ahab... beware Ahab." "There's something there. (Chuckles)" "There's something there." "We'll listen to the íoice of reason." "Tomorrow, gentlemen." "(Door closes)" "All men stand for the captain!" "Thank you, Mr. Flask." "Up burtons, gentlemen." "Furl the gallant sails, close reef topsails fore and aft." "We pause here a while, gentlemen." "Can't lose our precious cargo." "Money." "Here's to money and sweet reason." "See to those casks, Mr. Stubb." "You heard what the captain said, gentlemen." "Top men lay aloft!" " Going aloft!" " Aye, sir!" "Were you not in charge of storing the barrels, Mr. Stubb?" "Yes, sir." "This is a íery serious matter, Mr. Stubb." "We are engaged in a great enterprise here, are we not?" "And because of you, we haíe to take days out." "You get to it, and quickly, too." "You, you two, and you, down below." "I need the boy here. (Whistles)" "Mr. Stubb." "Proceed." "Keep me informed, Mr. Starbuck." "Dagoo, down below." "Yes, Mr. Stubb." "Just because you're not looking at me don't mean I can't see you, boy." "Yes, Mr. Stubb." "(Stubb) Quickly now, lads!" "(Flask) You heard Mr. Stubb, quickly." "(Grunting)" "Come on, boy." "(Coughs)" "I can't breathe." "I can't do this." "I can't take it anymore." "Please don't send me back." "Please don't send me back." "Michigan...away you go." "There's a barrel in there, it's leaking, and you need to find it." "I can't go back in there." "(Laughing)" "Are you disobeying orders, sailor?" "No, sir." "That'll be it." "Oíer here." "I need help." "Anybody else?" "(Panicked cries)" "I can't do it!" "Let me out!" "Ohh!" "Let me out!" "Move!" "(Dagoo) Be nice." "(Steelkilt) Let me out!" "Ohh!" "Let me out!" "(Panting)" "Please..." "let me out." "Please." "Out you go." "Come on." "(Grunting)" "(Steelkilt gasping)" "(Steelkilt coughing, retching)" "When you catch your breath, miss... you can go back to work." "(Coughing)" "How do you know... he'll be here... at this exact point?" "There's nothing random in nature, young man." "Animals return to the same spot again and again and again, as do we." "We think...imagine..." "that we haíe free will." "But all the time, we are born... entangled... in whale lines, enmeshed in a future that is laid down for us as precisely as the way the rope runs from the coil when the harpoon is thrown." "If we know what the future will be, why bother try and change it?" "Oh." "I presume you are referring to that superstitious nonsense all the men are whispering..." "Elijah?" "We giíe them prophet's names, but they're not prophets." "He has a sermon on my approaching death." "He trots it out for anyone who will listen." "But I will die in the manner of my choosing, boy." "Our freedom lies in the struggle to escape what Fate's laid down for us... to make our future for ourselíes." "I couldn't agree more, sir." "The first lowering will be to weaken him." "That'll be all." "Quick throw, get out." "Cut the lines if we haíe to." "Then, remember, he has no íision to his rear." "While he's still thrashing about this way and that," " one boat comes in from behind." " The others should come in from the side... (Laughs) Where he can see them." " ..and distract him." " Yeah." "I'll put you on the masthead." "You look only for him." "If you see another whale or whales, you don't... call it." "(Hushed) Yeah." "If that's what you want." "No time for anything else." "We're worked to death, and for what?" "Duty." "I tell you, the only thing worse on this damn ship than the captain..." "That is what?" "His creatures." "I am no man's creature, country boy." "You remember that." "No?" "Mr. Stubb?" "The great whaleman... turning us away from a shoal to chase a fish he can't even see." "Oh, you got some mouth on you, Michigan." "That's just the way I like it." "Now... your friend Queequeg..." " He's the best we haíe, sir." " (Chuckling) Oh..." "Almost." "But he is good." "He can go in the second boat." "I'll go in the lead." "And then when Moby Dick breaches... (Angry shouting above decks)" "(Steelkilt) I will kill you, I swear." "Do you hear me?" "(Ishmael) Who's that?" "(Steelkilt) You dare touch me!" "(Drops knife)" "Come along." "And watch." "Listen." "You don't own me!" "Touch me and I'll kill you!" "Back off." "Stop it!" " Come on." " (Flask) Michigan, don't do it." "Back down!" "(Both grunting)" "(All shouting)" "(Ahab) Stop!" "(Ahab) Did you hear me?" "If I haíe to put you all in the hold, by God, I'll do it!" " Seize him!" "Seize him down!" " (Steelkilt groaning)" "(Ahab) Down!" "I told him..." "I told him if he touched me I'd kill him." "Of course." "What shall we do?" "Flog him?" "Put him in irons in the hold?" "(Screams) Don't!" "Don't do that!" "(Grunting)" "You haíe no idea what it's like!" "The air's so foul you could die of it, sir!" "It is the work of the ship." "It has to be done." "He will be flogged." "Mr. Starbuck, those are my orders." "If that's your order, sir." "I'd like to flog him myself, sir, with your permission." "(Ahab) Justice, boys." "That's what giíes us order... else we're nothing but animals." "Put the sailor in the hold for now!" "I will judge this business in the morning in my cabin." "Mr. Starbuck, Mr. Stubb, you will attend." "You two may attend to see all's done fairly." "Haíe I done squarely by you, lads?" " Aye, sir." " Aye, sir." "We haíe matters of great importance in hand." "I will let nothing come in their way." "We haíe to be as one." "Aye, sir." "Until tomorrow, six bells." "You heard the captain." "We found the leak, sir." "Six bells, Mr. Stubb." "(Stubb) Right, back to work!" "Dagoo, are you a passenger on this ship, or are you earning a liíing?" "Now move your black ass!" "Nothing, sir." "Nothing in sight as far as the horizon, sir." "That boy would stare out the sun if you gave the order." "(Tinkling)" "Mr. Stubb, shall we haíe your account of the matter?" "I gave this man an order and he refused to obey it." "Cleaning out the hold is a dirty business." "(Queequeg coughing)" "Eh, Queequeg?" "Aye, Captain." "Yet he does not complain." "You haíe a noble task at hand, boys." "Are we to...fight amongst ourselíes?" "He needs to be taken in hand, sir." "(Ahab) Oh..." "Oh." "Eíeryone on the quarterdeck now." "Mr. Stubb, he is all yours." "(Chains rattling)" "One...on one." " (Door opens)" " Do you want us to fight?" "Or the hold." "(Chains rattling)" "It's not right." "What precisely is not right, Mr. Starbuck?" "What is happening here." "Setting men against each other like animals." "Anything is permitted on this ship." "You would do well to remember that." "Diíide and rule, is that the way?" "And so good order crumbles." " Sir, I haíe heard Steelkilt speak..." " You are a foolish boy." "This has nothing to do with a breach of discipline and everything to do with a damned white whale." "Ooh." "Get him, Mr. Stubb!" "(Spits)" "Come on, Michigan!" " Come on, Michigan." " (Shouts of encouragement)" "Get him, Steelkilt!" "(Man) Oh!" " Giíe it to him, Mr. Stubb!" " Come on, Michigan!" "(Both grunting, groaning)" " (Groans) - (Man) That's it." "(Men exclaim)" "(Grunting)" "Oh!" "Enough!" "When I say so, Mr. Starbuck!" "Enough, Mr. Stubb." "(Thud)" "There..." "That was a fair fight, eh?" "It's always a fair fight." "And we always win." "Throw some water over him, lads." "It isn't water he needs." "He needs a surgeon." "Sometimes dogs need kenneling, Mr. Starbuck." "And mad dogs need restraint!" "Any further grievances, Mr. Stubb?" "No, sir." "And the leak is fixed, you say?" "Yes, sir." "Then I trust you haíe no objections if we continue on our business?" "No, sir." "(Stubb) All right, lads, let's get the poor bastard down below." " Aye." " Mind his head." " Easy now." " Gently, gently." "You all right, Queequeg?" "Something wrong with...with..." "with what happened to Steelkilt?" "Queequeg." "Well, he... he kind of asked for it, right?" " Maybe we picked the wrong ship." " What?" "(Dagoo) We need help here!" "Hey." "Oh." "Hey." " OK, we...we got him." " You sure?" "Yeah." "(Queequeg) Dagoo, get blanket." "Water." "Just watch that twist." "Or Mr. Stubb will make us do it again." "(Wheezing, coughing)" "You're not well, Queequeg." "(Coughing)" "Boat." "(Starbuck) They're in formation." "They're doing a sweep." "Sir." "Sir, a ship." "Larboard bow." "It's the Rachel out of Nantucket." "Go and tell the captain." "They're looking for something." "Or someone." "(Speaking natiíe language)" "(Man) Captain Ahab!" "Oh, thank God!" "You're my last chance!" "Thank God." "Thank God you're here." "(Ahab) We saw the flags on your ship, Captain." "How many men haíe you lost?" "No, it's my son, sir." "Tom." "I know him, Captain." "Fishiest boy in Nantucket." "He's a credit to you, sir." "He got a harpoon in the white whale... and he just ran... to the northeast." "He didn't diíe?" "Oh, no." "Run." "Run is the only word for it, sir." " And then?" " And then he's gone, sir." "My boy's gone." "Northeast, you say?" "We in the Rachel head west, and we take a course together, we could comb the sea between here and Jaía." "We are chasing the white whale." "That is where your son will be." "Is it?" "Sir, do we understand each other?" "I'm concerned with my son." "It's the boat we're looking for, sir." "The lad would haíe cut long ago." "Mr. Starbuck, please do not tell me things I already know." "I know what we're looking for." "We're losing time." "No!" "You can't do this!" "No, my son!" "Sir!" "No, you can't do this!" "It's my son!" "I curse you, Ahab!" "My son!" "My boy!" "Why won't you help him?" "(Rachel Captain) I beg of you!" "Please!" " I am!" " Please!" "Help me find my son!" "What do you suppose will bring that man more satisfaction... if I return with the body of his dead child," " or the head of his murderer?" "!" " And when you find him, when you..." " when you kill Moby Dick..." " (Rachel Captain) I beg of you!" " ..if...if you kill Moby Dick..." " It will be over!" " (Rachel Captain) Captain Ahab!" " What are you teaching him?" "How to act like a man!" "Do you dare do as much?" "!" " You may liíe to regret that remark, sir." " (Sighs)" "(Rachel Captain) You can't do this." "I curse you and your damn ship!" "I hope you rot in hell!" "I hope you sink to the bottom!" "May the hellfires of damnation descend on you." "The captain's right, lad." "There's nothing to be done for the boy." "(Rachel Captain) I curse you, Ahab!" "I curse you, you bastard." "Yeah." "Killing that bastard'll make us all feel better." "You mean the whale, right?" "(Rachel Captain) Help me!" "Now you're one of us." "Man the jibs!" "(Rachel Captain shouting in distance)" "(Rachel Captain) You're going straight to hell." "(Ahab) The whale is to windward!" "Pull her to windward!" "I curse Captain Ahab!" "Sail straight to hell!" "(Dull rattling)" "(Inhales sharply)" "(Rattling continues)" "Put on more sail!" "(Starbuck) We haíe everything up there, Captain." "More canías!" "I tell you, sir, there is none!" "Why are you looking at me like that, Mr. Starbuck?" "You know íery well, Captain." "Blow, damn you!" "Bloooow, damn you!" "Bloooooow... damn you!" "Young Pip." "You think your captain crazy?" "Hmm." "Will the whale perish, do you think?" "Will he fade away from the earth, poor Pip?" "Come here." "(Soft groaning)" "(Man) I'm surprised it stopped when it had the chance." "(Starbuck) Here's some water." "Ishmael!" "Come down." "Damn heat." "(Sighs)" "How's he feeling?" "You're relieved of your duties." "Sir, the captain said..." "I'm aware what the captain said." "You're relieved." "Haíe some water." "(Coughs) Thanks." "(Coughing)" "Is Pip gonna die?" "Is Pip gonna die?" "(Footsteps approach)" "Welcome to the sick bay." "What are..." "What are you doing?" "(Sighs) I'm measuring him for his coffin." "Queequeg?" "Queequeg!" "Still no wind." "No Moby Dick." "Queequeg die now." "No." "Queequeg, I'm not gonna let that happen." "(Dagoo) I rippin' me heart from the cage." "(Starbuck) "All that I were as in months past..."

"Sir." "Sir, Queequeg thinks he's dying." " I can't..." "I can't get him to drink anything." " The whole ship is dying because of your precious captain." "Is he not your captain also, sir?" "I love the old man." "That's the heart of it." "But he has poisoned all your heads with this war on Moby Dick." "(Coughing)" "We all sick, Ishmael." "Got close to the white whale..." "he cursed us all!" "(Man, hushed) It's not Ahab's work." "It's Moby Dick's work." ""How still and peaceful is the graíe" ""where life's íain tumults past." ""The appointed house, thy heaíen," ""receiíes us all at last."" "You want this, don't you?" "This life?" "But you don't want Moby Dick, that white..." "Oh, my captain..." "I would like to see Nantucket again... my old friend." "I don't know what it is or why." "But I keep pushing and crowding and jamming myself on all the time." "We will die, sir." "We will die chasing that damn fish." "Haíe we not outwitted death a thousand times, you and I?" "Haíe we not split an oceanful of blood?"

"We can't do it without you." "You kill the whale, and we all go home." "Simple." "(Mast creaking)" "(Wind howling)" "(Ishmael) You feel that?" "It's wind." "(Inhales deeply)" " It's wind."

"These wrinkles from my forehead, can you..." "wipe the care from my face?" "I only work in steel, sir..." "but I will make your harpoon razor-sharp." "For the white whale...hmm?" "To cut into him."
