Quotes
-
Capt. Daniel Gregg : I wish for a little quite around here. Sailors on shore leave make less noise than THIS household.
-
Capt. Daniel Gregg : Blast that four-legged shag rug.
-
Capt. Daniel Gregg : I've been thinking about our arrangement.
Carolyn Muir : Mm.
Capt. Daniel Gregg : I'm willing to make a concession since you find it so difficult to abide by the rules.
Carolyn Muir : Uh, me?
Capt. Daniel Gregg : Yes.
Carolyn Muir : Well, I think we're just muddling through splendidly.
Capt. Daniel Gregg : No, I've been selfish. I have no wish to deprive you and the children of my company.
Carolyn Muir : Ah.
Capt. Daniel Gregg : I'm recinding the rules.
Carolyn Muir : Oh, but we like the rules. They're practical.
Capt. Daniel Gregg : Nonsense. They're harsh and unrealistic.
Carolyn Muir : Not at all.
Capt. Daniel Gregg : Yes, they are. This is a house, not a ship.
Carolyn Muir : Well, it has a captain and a crew.
Capt. Daniel Gregg : Bilge. It has a family.
Carolyn Muir : We needed rules. You were right.
Capt. Daniel Gregg : You did not! I was wrong!
Carolyn Muir : Wrong? Not you.
Capt. Daniel Gregg : Yes, me!
Carolyn Muir : You need your privacy.
Capt. Daniel Gregg : NO MAN IS AN ISLAND!
Carolyn Muir : Except you.
Capt. Daniel Gregg : Oh, the opposite sex - why do they have to be so... opposite?
-
Capt. Daniel Gregg : [finding Carolyn surprisingly agreeable] Are you up to something?
Carolyn Muir : Captain, you do me a great injustice.
Capt. Daniel Gregg : [suspicious] I do, do I?
Carolyn Muir : Mm.
-
Carolyn Muir : Were you really surprised, Captain?
Capt. Daniel Gregg : I was absolutely speechless, madam; however, I do not think this is the occasion for frivolity.
Carolyn Muir : Oh, what better occasion than your birthday?
Claymore Gregg : Mm-hm, and it's all because of me. I told them the date.
Capt. Daniel Gregg : I thought YOU might have, you clod. You are not celebrating the date on which I was born. You're celebrating the date on which I passed away.
Claymore Gregg : [alarmed] Well... nobody's perfect.
