Talk
- “Every dock's got somebody like me on it. We don't know each other. We just know about each other. It's a lonely kind of friendship.”
- “Out west it's all ash. Green fog, big bones, spires. I don't go. I've got a jetty and a view of it. That's all of it I need.”
- “The boat's free. One each. People ask what's the catch. The catch is the ocean. The ocean's the catch.”
- “Abe up the beach sells everything. Except boats. I sell boats. Except I don't sell them, I give them away. Abe thinks I'm crazy. He's right about a lot of things. Not that. Well. Maybe that.”
More talk
- “The green fog out west, that's not weather. Weather changes. That stuff's on a loop. Same drift, same time, every day. I timed it. I've got a lot of time.”
Shop greetings
- “One boat, free. Two engines, not free. That's the whole menu.”
- “Back again. You look like somebody who's been out on the water. Pale. A little wet.”
Quips
After you buy
- “There's your engine. You'll go faster. Away from here, mostly. Can't blame you.”
When you can't afford it
- “You're short on gold. Out here everybody's short on something. You're short on gold. Lucky you.”
When you claim your boat
- “There she is. She's yours. Free. Like advice. And worth about the same, some days.”
When your bag is full
- “Bag's full. Make room. An engine's no small thing. It's a medium thing. With a big price.”
When you lack the recipe
- “Not until you know how a boat's made. Gus's rule. Out here it's the only rule. So we keep it.”
When you already have a boat
- “You've got a boat. Just call her in. She's around. Boats don't wander far. Not like people.”
After you sell
- “I'll take it. I'll leave it on the jetty. Somebody'll want it. Or the sea will.”
When it is sold out
- “No more of those today. Tomorrow. If the ash lets up. It doesn't. But tomorrow, anyway.”
When they don't buy it
- “Can't give you anything for that. Abe might. Abe buys anything. That's his whole problem.”
Before you can build a boat
- “Name's Hank. I sit on this jetty. People ask why. The ash can't reach me out here. That's my theory. I haven't tested it. Testing's how you find out your theory's wrong.”
- “Boats are for folks who know how they're made. Gus's rule. He's back in Gallows Rest. Deal with the fella on the islet who took his plans, then come see any of us on the docks and we'll sort you out.”
Once you can
- “You're the one who dealt with the fella on the islet. Gus sent word. By mail. There's no mail. I don't know how he did it. Anyway, you've got a boat.”
Calling your boat
- “Here she comes out of the fog. Every time I think she won't. Every time she does.”
- “There. She came. I like a boat that comes when it's called. I've known people who won't.”
When you walk off mid-sentence
- “Oh. Okay. That's alright. I'll tell it to the water. The water always stays.”
- “Well. Everybody leaves the dock. That's what a dock is for, I guess.”
- “Go on, then. Nobody ever finishes a talk with me. I'm startin' to think it's me.”
