"St. Peter... you know..." "Manuel... he's first-class fisherman." "Yeah, and he's good man, too." "And when he comes to the gate, he no can stand up," "But he's got his legs with him." "And so, you let him in, huh, St. Peter?" "Just as special favor to Mike Mascarenhas, huh?" "Please." "And when..." "Well, that's all." "Yeah." "Amen." "All right." "Come in." "This the house for Manuel Silva?" "Yes." "You his wife?" "No." "I'm his daughter." "Oh." "Well, I guess you know me, then." "Mike Mascarenhas." "No." "You don't know me?" "No." "I told you."

"They took my hand and give me this." "They took your father and give me you." "They settle everything." "They settle him!" "Mike, you're crazy!" "Jose!" "Jim!" "You think you can make fool out of me, huh?" "Well, I show you." "There." "They show you." "There, you white-bellied devils, you!" "Fish of the devil!" "There." "Come!" "Take him!" "Take him!"

" No, no, Mike." " Oh, no." "I know how you feel about him." "If I don't have you... it's more better this way." "The shark..." "They settle everything." "These two times, Mike give himself for bait." "He's good bait, too." "Is more better than you." "He's the best bait in the whole Pacific Ocean." "First they..." "They got my hand," "But now..." "I..." "I don't go to heaven now." "Mike, you're not going to..." "Oh, I don't stay here." "That's sure." "Hey..." "I bet when St. Peter, he find out I don't come up," "He send down for me special." "Yeah." "And 100 per cent or no," "I bet I catch more fish than anybody up there." "Sure, you will, Mike." "Oh, Quita, don't do that." "Now stop it." "No." "Yes, Mike." "That's better." "Hey..." "They write song about me now, huh?" "There... this son of the desert..." "And Mike Mascarenhas Abulbul..." "That's good, huh?" "That's good." "Thanks, Mike." "Hello, St. Peter..." "Oh, no." "You...you don't have to look in the book." "Just you listen." "You hear that?" "That's me..." "Mike Mascarenhas," "The best fisherman in the whole Pacific Ocean." "Absolutely, indeed."
