Ishmael!

(Stubb) Easy now, boys. Easy!

(Stubb) Let's go, boys!

Get in this boat!

Queequeg not hunt whale without Ishmael.

(Queequeg) You bring luck.

See birds?

They show us where whale is.

(Birds crying)

All right, ready to push off?

(Stubb) Keep the stern low!

Easy now, boys, easy!

Dagoo! Dagoo, take me with you!

Ah, not today, my friend.

Your day will come.

But I'm not afraid. Just...

- It's too dangerous, Pip.

- Why?

- Come on, boys! Let's go!

- (Man) Let's go!

(Stubb) This is Stubb's fish, boys.

You remember that. This is Stubb's fish.

(Ahab) Let her down! Jonas!

- (Ahab) On the helm.

- (Urgent chatter)

Get out of the boat!

Come on, let's beat those bastards!

(Man) All right, Dagoo.

(2nd man) Row!

(Man) Hurry up, men!

Stubb's already away and ahead.

(Birds crying)

J' Blow, my bully boys, blow

J' Chase the boy and bring him down

J' Row, boys, row

J' Our prize will be his red-rose gown

J' Blow, my bully boys, blow

J' A dead whale or a stove boat

J' Row, boys, row

J' Aim the spear and watch him float

J' And blow, my bully boys, blow

J' Race across the churning brine

J' Row, boys, row

J' The old whale's heart is surely thine

J' Oh, blow, my bully boys, blow

J' A dead whale or a stove boat J'

(Man) Go on, boys.

Don't hurry yourselves.

There's plenty of time.

- (2nd man) Starboard!

- (Men shouting)

(Man) Come on, boys.

(2nd man) Put your backs into it.

What's the captain doing?

- Sir, I think he thought...

- Thought what?

That...That the white whale

might be out there, sir.

(Starbuck) Oh, God help me.

ROW!

Come on, boys, row.

Put your backs into it.

- (Ahab) Harder!

- Break your backs now, boys!

Pull! Row!

Stay on course.

Heave! Ho.

Watch your stroke, Ishmael.

Watch your stroke.

Ho!

(Starbuck) There you go.

This is Stubb's whale, boys!

We want to get ourselves a girl

on the edge of the herd, boys,

else all those b*tches will be after us.

(Stubb) Get down, Pip, get down!

This is Stubb's whale, boys!

(Men grunting as they row)

Strike it, Tash.

I'll have that whale,

or, I swear, I'll have you.

Strike now!

(Whale cries)

- (Stubb) Good work, Tash!

- I got her, sir!

- (Tash) She's hooked fast!

- Get down, Pip!

Ship your oars!

The bowline's keeling!

Ship your oars!

(Pip) Where do you want this?

Put down that goddamn rope!

Secure the rope!

Put it down now!

(Grunts)

Hold on, now!

- Whoo!

- Hold on, boy!

There they go.

Come on, boys!

Don't you let go, Watson!

Lean on it!

' (Pip

gag -

Hold hard now! Hold hard!

Hold hard!

- Hang on, Pip!

- (Grunting)

(Stubb) Hang on, Tash!

- Keep shy of her!

- Mr. Stubb!

Come on, my darling!

- Mr. Stubb!

- Help me!

Come on, my sweetie pie!

(Grunting, shouting)

(Tashtego) Cut the rope!

He'll be ripped in half!

Hold on, Pip! Hold on!

(Tashtego) Sir, the rope!

- Stubb!

- (Rope creaking)

Sir, the rope! Cut it!

(Men groan)

(Gasping)

Damn you! Damn you!

You shouldn't even be in the boat!

A waste!

Why'd they cut? What's wrong?

(Pip coughing)

You keep out of my sight!

Get the oars in the water.

(Starbuck) Heave! Heave together!

What happened to Pip? Pip!

That's Stubb's whale, Mr. Starbuck!

- Heave!

- First blood!

This b*tch is ours now!

That'll rile him up.

(Grunts)

Get the oars back in the water.

That b*tch is Stubb's b*tch,

and don't you forget it!

Ho. Ho.

Easy now, boys. Easy.

Don't slap the oars.

Here she is.

Easy. Easy.

Shh.

Get 'em in! Get 'em in! Get 'em in!

Queequeg, put the bow pin in!

Ishmael, rope's snagged under that oar!

Let it out!

All right, lock her off.

All right, here we go!

(Yelling)

Hang on!

(Roaring, whooping)

We're being dragged

by the Bank of England, boys!

She's got fight in her.

She's gonna drag us all the way home!

Don't let the nose drop!

Your first whale, Ishmael.

(Whooping and cheering)

Ishmael, the rope's getting hot!

(Gasps)

Fill this bucket with water.

Get me some water!

- (Queequeg exclaims)

- (Starbuck) Pour it on the rope.

Cool her down. Cool her down.

Hang on and pull! Yeah!

(Laughter, chatter)

(Starbuck) Look at Mr. Stubb's boat!

Trying to sneak up like it's theirs!

(Men hollering)

- Starboard only! Starboard only!

- There's no shame in that cut, Mr. Stubb!

She's still your whale!

It was our Pip what I cut, Mr. Starbuck!

You can finish her!

(Starbuck) Nice of you to join us, Mr. Flask!

Come on in!

Glad to see you and the girls are rested!

(Starbuck) Come on!

Put the can on Mr. Flask!

- (Starbuck) Not your day, Dagoo!

- She'll have sisters, boys.

- (Starbuck) Yeah, she'll have sisters.

- I thought she was your sister, Dagoo!

(Laughter)

She smells like your mother!

(Laughter)

H0! Wait! Wait!

Here's to a short and prosperous venture!

(Cheering)

(Man) Congratulations, Mr. Stubb!

(Steelkilt) What is it?

What happened to the bloody wind?

Leviathan needs the air.

He's there, though, boys.

I can feel him.

You want that doubloon,

Row. Hard!

(Men yelling)

" (Laughter)

Pip, are you hurt, Pip?

Oh, he'll be fine.

You shouldn't have been on that boat, and I

don't want to ever have to tell you that again.

(Stubb) Dagoo, keep those sharks

from my whale.

J' My boots and rags are all in pawn!

(Men) J' Go down your blood-red roses

Mr. Stubb, sir!

(Men) J' Go down your blood-red roses
