- Lucca: There was this ghost ship called the Zebrina. British cargo ship hauling coal. She ran aground in France after floating past all of you fellas coming to join the war. My hospital ship ran from her for weeks. I swear that empty b¡tch, she was chasing us. But the strangest thing I ever saw was off the coast of Indonesia. Little dinghies, two-man fishing skiffs, Just floating, 300 miles off shore. The seagulls swarmed 'em like hornets, picking at the men inside. And there must have been a thousand of them small dinghies, maybe more. I passed 'em for a week. Must have been a big swell that pushed 'em all out to sea. I don't know. It's a mystery. The sea's like that. Cunning... Like a fox. Always looking for ways to trick you. Now, who wants first watch?
- Elizabeth Strafford: This isn't what you promised. You haven't lost anything that I haven't lost. I'm an orphan too now. And all we have is each other & I don't even have that. Our wedding day came & went with no mention of it. We don't, we don't speak. You don't even touch me. I've got just as much right to hate the man as you do, but I don't. Because hate takes your whole heart, every bit of it. It leaves no room for love. I choose not to hate him, so there's room in my heart for you. If you won't do the same for me, then take me to town. Send me home, Jack. Look at the size of this prison. That's what I'm in, Jack.
