"Give me her photograph, please." "I am her best man and guardian, and her future husband is very correct." "I haven't photographed her bottom, mr Karabulat." "She has nothing to fear." "I won't even allow you to photograph her face or even half her face or even her profile so please give me the photographs." " As soon as I develop them." " You have..." "You have developed them." " But she herself did not refuse." " She herself has been taught never to say no." "I'll ask her." "It is not for her to say, I mean that is how the agency works." "Well this is not how I work." "Well..." "Let us not lose any heart over this." "There is somebody on board who will deal with it for me." "Ten years younger." "Show them to fat Yiorgos." "Tell him to pack." "I will, my Captain." "The Russians, leave them out, friend Norman." "Has their guardian forbid it?" "I forbid it." "Can you tell me why?" "Money." "What money?" "Mr. Karabulat is very particular."

"Now we have to take care of the others." "Hang in there." "Did you have to tell everyone?" "It was all a mistake, my dear Norman." "It has happened before." "Believe me, I'll take care of it immediately." "With so many immigrants my employer has to deal with it." "It's perfectly natural for there to be some kind of mix-up with the photographs." "Olga is 16 years old!" "She looks 20." " What about Yelena from Odessa?" " My job, sir, is to make sure you don't drown.." "I'm not an immigration agency." "Or the vice squad." "But then, immigration agencies have loaded customers on the King Alexander." "A couple of years ago a Romanian an excellent colleague sent photographs to some poor village girls." "Instead of being of prospective grooms they were..." "Norman, they were photographs of movie stars!" "You figure out a way to..." "You'd better figure out a way to fix it for those 5 girls or you'll never reach New York." "I lost Haro last night." "She wondered on the deck alone for hours." "I found her just before sunrise."
