- Phillip: [while he becomes blind] Timothy?

- Phillip: Is it night?

- [Timothy turns in a stunned look]
- Phillip: I can't see!
- Timothy: WHAT?
- Phillip: I'm blind! I'm blind! I'm blind!
- Timothy: Young bahss, you cannot be blind!

- Timothy: Look at the sun!
- Phillip: I'm blind...
- Timothy: [puts him down] Now, please. You must lie down and rest. What has happened will go away. 'Tis most natural temporary
- [after the shipwreck, Phillip sees Timothy next to him on the raft]

- Phillip: My head!

- Phillip: My mother!
- Timothy: That lady, ah, they put her in the lifeboat. And that be true, young bahss.

- Timothy: Put your head back down, young bahss, and rest a little while longer.
- [Phillip gets seasick and crawls to the side of the raft to vomit]
- Timothy: [holds him] Dis be good, dis be good. 'Tis most natural for you to do this. 'Tis d'shock of having all this most terrible thing happen.
