GO ON, NOW.

DO AS I TELL YOU.

OH...

WHEN YOU'RE DRESSED UP, THERE

AIN'T NO HOOLIGAN ON THE WATERFRON LOOKS AS GRAND

AS YOU DO.

SAY, MANY'S THE TIME

I'VE HEARD ALEC SAY,

"WHEN POP'S

IN HIS SUNDAY BEST,

YOU COULD ALMOS MISTAKE HIM FOR A GENT."

HE ALWAYS WAS A BOY

TO TAKE NOTICE. YEAH.

YEAH.

BUT WE GOT TO:

DO HIM UP PROUD,

SHOW HIM WHERE HE GETS

HIS GOOD LOOKS FROM, HUH?

AND ME ON THE WATER WAGON. HOT DOGGIE!

GO ON. GO ON.

GET ALL SPROUSED UP,

AND DON'T TALK

SO MUCH ABOUT IT.

I WAS JUST WONDERING WHA YOUR FATHER'S GOING TO SAY.

AFTER ALL, YOU ARE

PATRICIA SEVERN AND-

AND MY FATHER WILL PROBABLY

THANK HIS LUCKY STARS

THAT IF HIS PRECIOUS

DAUGHTER HAD TO FALL IN LOVE,

SHE'D PICK

THE CRACK CAPTAIN

OF HIS WHOLE:

DARN STEAMSHIP LINE.

THAT'S PROBABLY MOTHER.

SHE'S COMING UP

THE SOUND TO MEET ME.

DOESN'T SOUND MUCH LIKE

HER VOICE AS I REMEMBER IT.

HA HA! SILLY.

SHE'S A GRAND PERSON,

ISN'T SHE, ALEC?

THEY DON'T COME

ANY BETTER.

I WANT TO MAKE THINGS EASIER

FOR HER NOW THAT I CAN.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW IT YET, BUT DOCKING

MY SHIP TODAY IS HER LAST JOB.

COME ON OUT,

AND WE'LL WHISTLE HELLO.

ALL RIGHT.

ALEC BRENNAN,

MASTER MARINER.

STAND BY TO HEAVE THE LINE,

PETE, WHEN I BRING HER ABOUT.

NICE WORK, EH?

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM!

AYE, AYE, SKIPPER.

I DON'T SEE MY FATHER.

HEY, TERRY,

ANNIE SAYS HURRY UP.

I'M LOOKING

FOR MY HAT.

LOST MY HAT.

TERRY!

TERRY?

WHERE ARE YOU?

HUH?

OF APPRECIATIVE CITIZENS

OF OUR GREAT COMMONWEALTH,

I AM INDEED PROUD TO WELCOME

TO BE AS PRETTY:

I'M TERRIBLY PARTIAL

TO THE FLEET.

WHERE'S TERRY?

TER-UH...OH...

HA HA!

TERRY? OH, YOU KNOW HE WAS

SO FILLED FULL OF EN-THOO-SISM

THAT HE FORGOT THERE WAS A LADDER

FROM THE WHEELHOUSE TO THE DECK,

AND HE BRAVELY SUFFERED

THE SPRAIN OF A LEG,

BUT-BUT, UM,

HE SENT HIS REGARDS,

AND HE HOPES THA YOU AND YOUR HONOR

WILL COME DOWN TO THE TUG

AND HAVE MESS OF TEA SOMETIME.

THANK YOU:

IT'S ONLY A TEMPORARY

CONCUSSION, YOU KNOW.

OH, OF COURSE,

FOR THE PRESENT,

ENTERTAIN COMPANY ON A DIRTY OLD TUG.

BY ANY CHANCE, ARE YOU TALKING
