Francis Ford: Efe
Quotes
-
Doctor John Pearly : A steamboat is a female, you know? And when they're struttin' up and down the river, where everybody's lookin' at 'em, they're just like a woman with a new Easter bonnet on. But when nobody ain't lookin' at 'em, why, they get kind of careless - and don't care.
Efe : Yeah-sloppy.
Doctor John Pearly : Sloppy. That's right. But with a-with a good, live man on this boat like you are - say, you can make this thing perk up - and strut! Get some paint on her nose and get these chickens out of here. We can put them right in the pot now. Here. Here. Start flirtin' with that.

Efe : She ain't got another lick in 'er. We're sure licked now.
