Dialogue
Smokey Adams: Did you ever go to school, stupid?
Seaman Pomeroy Watson: Yeah, and I come out the same way.
Thomas Halstead: By the way, where do all the little bugs go this time of year?
Pomeroy Watson: Search me.
Thomas Halstead: No thanks, I just wondered.
Smokey Adams: If you asked a seaman how fast the ship was going, he wouldn't say "Miles" to you. He'd say "Knots" to you.
Pomeroy Watson: Well, nuts to him, too, if that's the way he feels!
