"Go back, Bobby." "Go back to what you did before." "Pack cod, repair tackle." "I'm sick of that." "It's safe and it pays." "Not enough." "Just one more time." "I promise." "I have to try it again." "We need the money, baby." "Money." "It's always about the money." "Well, I got a divorce lawyer, a mountain of debt." "And there's your two kids." "You gotta get them back." "Do you think you'll love them?" "They're yours, aren't they?" "Hey, beautiful." "Yeah, you." "Buy you a drink?" "Seeing as I got two in front of me, I don't think so." "I'm not very observant, am I?" "I got a feeling, yeah, along with a lot of other things." "Why don't we start over?" "You know what would look good on you?" "Me." "No good?" "Have a drink." "It's not that bad." "Thank you." "Here's to crime." "(LAUGHS)" "You're pathetic." "You still want to be a fisherman?" "Who told you I wanted to be a fisherman?" "You want to come with me."

"Your mom can't sit around by herself all the time." "She isn't sitting around." "MURPH:" "I'm sure he's a good guy." "I know your mom wouldn't take up with anybody but a good guy." "And you know, buddy the most important thing is that you and Mommy are happy." "Can we talk about something else now?" "Come here." "I miss you too, buddy." "I miss you so damn much." "What'd you say your name was again?" "Irene." "Is that so tough?" "I'm sorry." "Listen." "Could I maybe take you home?" "I don't think so." "I came to watch the game." "Instead I got schnockered with Bugsy." "What does Bugsy stand for anyway?" "Michael." "That's a nice name." "Why don't you use it?" "Because people know me as Bugsy." "I'm gonna shove off now." "Big day tomorrow." "I can't take you home?" "What, in a wheelbarrow?" "Crew guys like you never have cars." "Lay off." "I got feelings too." "Where, down in your pants?" "Jesus, lady, where's the passion in your life?" "Home in bed." "One of them's 6, the other one's 8." "All I can say is, there's some lucky kids." "They got a wonderful mother." "You're not messing with me, are you?" "Haven't got time." "We're going out in two days." "Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Michael." "Gotta go." "What do you mean?" "Where you going?" "Have these."

"You see, I'm looking for a guy to come home to Maine with me buy a house and raise kids." "What does that guy and you do after?" "Oh." "The thing is, I'm happy." "I'm happy I'm fit to do this." "I just don't see the romance in it." "But you've got it, Captain Greenlaw." "You do." "Believe me." "I've seen them come and go." "The day I laid eyes on you, I said, "She's gonna be a good one."" "You can't be good unless you love it." "The fog's just lifting." "You throw off your bow line, throw off your stern." "You head out the South Channel past Rocky Neck, Ten Pound Island past Niles Pond, where I skated as a kid." "Blow your horn and wave to the lighthouse keeper's kid on Thatcher Island." "Then the birds show up." "Black-backs herring gulls, big dump ducks." "The sun hits you." "Head north, open up to 1 2." "You're steaming now." "The guys are busy, you're in charge." "You know what?" "You're a goddamn swordboat captain." "Is there anything better in the world?" "Sully." "So what do you think?" "You been busy?" "Busy enough." "I was working menhaden in Annisquam."
