- Oh, sure, no hard feelings.|- Oh, Anna lilla.
I can't say it, Anna.
I think I go lie down, go to sleep.
Oh, that booze, he don't go well, Anna.
I think I'm never going to drink again.
I can't stand this much longer.
What am I waiting for, anyhow,|like a darn fool?
Anna?
- Anna?|- Yes, what do you want?
Don't say it. I know what's in your mind.
Yes, that's what I was,|and that's what I'm going back to.
I'd kill you first. And finish it up.
It's a dog's life I been living|since I found out what you are.
Oh, why don't you leave me alone.|Go away.
Don't you see I'm licked? What do you|want to keep kicking me for?
Don't you deserve the worst I'd say,|God forgive you?
All right, maybe I do. But don't rub it in.
Why haven't you done|what you said you were going to?
Ship away to the other side of the earth,|where you don't have to see me.
- I have.|- What?
You're going away, honest?
I signed on, drunk as I was,|and she's sailing tomorrow.
- Where is she going? Far away?|- Cape Town. It is at the end of Africa.
That's far for you.
- What's the boat's name?|- The Londonderry.
The Londonderry?
Oh, this is too much.
Faith, I don't blame you|for laughing at me.
True, it is the fool of the world I am|to come back to talk to you at all.
Oh, what's the use? What's the use of|me talking? What's the use of anything?
Anna...
Anna, if I could only be believing|I was the only man in the world...
...ever you had love for,|I could be forgetting the rest, maybe.
Are you trying to accuse me|of being in love...
...really in love, with them?
You fool, you.|I've stood enough from you.
Love them, is it? I hated them, I tell you.
And may God strike me dead,|and my mother too, if she was alive...
...if I'm not telling you the honest truth.
Oh, sure, Anna, if I could only|be believing you, now.
Why, Matt, you've got to believe it.
What can I do? What will I do|to prove to you I'm not lying?
Anna, would you...? Would you be willing|to swear an oath, a terrible, fearful oath?
Oh, sure, I will, Matt, on anything.
Would you swear on this?
Oh, sure. Give it to me.
It is a cross given to me by me mother,|God rest her soul.
And I'm telling you,|it has great power in it.
And I'm warning you now,|if you swear on this...
...it is me old woman herself who'd|be looking down on you from heaven...
...and praying the saints to put a curse|on you if she hears you swear a lie.
I wouldn't have the nerve,|honest, Matt, if it was a lie.
But it's the truth,|and I ain't scared to swear it.
Give it to me. What do you|want me to swear? You say it.
Swear I'm the only man in the world|ever you felt love for.
I swear it. I swear it by God.
And may the blackest curse of God|strike you if you're lying.
And may the blackest curse of God|strike me if I'm lying.
Oh, glory be to God,|I'm after believing you now.
- Now what's the matter?|- Is it Catholic you are?
- No, why?|- Oh, God pity me.
Sure, it's some devil's treachery in it.
You swearing on a Catholic cross,|and you one of the others.
- Well, don't you believe me, Matt?|- Oh, but if it ain't a Catholic you are...
I ain't nothing, Matt.|What's the difference?
Didn't you hear me swear?
I'm afraid I love you, God forgive me,|no matter what you are.
I'd be going mad if I'd not be having you.
I'd be killing the world.|We'll be wedded this day.
And we'll be happy, the two of us,|in spite of the devil.
Well, we gotta have a drink on this,|my good man.
- Blast you.|- That's the way to talk.
Oh, Matt, it's time for you two|to kiss and make up.
You'll be shipmates|on the Londonderry, you know.
- Shipmates? Has himself...?|- Aye, and I'm boatswain on her.
The devil!
You'd be shipping away to sea|and leaving her alone again, will you?
It's all right, Matt. That's where|he belongs, and I want him to go.
You've gotta go too.|We'll need the money.
And as for me being alone, why,|that runs in the family...
...and I'll get used to it.
I'll get a house somewhere and I'll make|a regular place for you two to come back.
And now you'll drink|and be friends, huh?
Sure.
- Here's luck to you.|- Skoal.
Well, you'll not be lonesome long.|I'll see to that, God willing.
Sure as himself will be having|a grandchild riding his foot, I tell you.
- Maybe twins.|- Oh, quit your kidding.
Is it any religion at all you have,|you and your Anna?
Well, in the old country,|we was Lutherans.
Lutherans, is it?
Oh, then I'm damned entirely.
Oh, well, what's the difference?
It is God's will anyhow.
It's queer, you and me|shipping on same boat that way.
That ain't right.
It's that funny way old devil sea|do her worst dirty tricks.
Aye, is so.
Faith, I'm afraid you've the right of it|for once, devil take you.
Why, gee, Matt, you ain't|agreeing with him, are you?
Come on. Here's to the sea,|no matter what.
Be a game sport, man. Drink to that.
Fog, fog all time.
You can't tell where you was going.
Only that old devil sea.
She knows.
