Talk
- “Lou. I give out boats. One each, free. People ask why anybody'd need a boat on an island this far out. I tell them that's exactly why. Nobody walks home from here.”
- “Lose your boat out there, come see me. Call her and she'll come in. People get out, take a look around, turn around, and the boat's gone. Ocean takes it. Then it gives it back. The ocean's moody like that.”
- “Back the way you came is the ash. Before that, the dead marsh. Before that, green grass and a fella named Hollis selling sticks. I've never been. I hear the sticks are good.”
- “I've been on this dock twenty years. Seen a lot of people come in. Seen fewer go out. I don't do the math on that. The math does itself.”
Shop greetings
- “Boats. One each, no charge. Engines are extra. You're welcome to haggle. I'm welcome to ignore it.”
- “Back again. Lose the last one? Just call her. She'll come.”
Quips
After you buy
- “There's your engine. Faster boat. Same ocean, though.”
When you can't afford it
- “You're short. Engines cost what engines cost. The sea doesn't do discounts. Neither do I.”
When you claim your boat
- “There she is. Free. Good boat. I'd take her out myself, but I've seen what's out there.”
When your bag is full
- “Bag's full. You'll want room for the engine. Don't ask me how it fits. Trade secret. Mostly because I don't know.”
When you lack the recipe
- “Not until you know how a boat's made. Rules are rules. Gus's rules, but rules.”
When you already have a boat
- “You've got a boat. Call her. Nobody needs two of anything out here. Except water. You need a lot of water.”
After you sell
- “I'll take it. I'll find a use for it. Probably as a chair.”
When it is sold out
- “No more engines today. I build 'em at night. That's why I'm tired. That's why I'm always tired.”
When they don't buy it
- “I can't use that. I deal in boats. That's not a boat. If you can sail it, I'll buy it. You can't. I checked.”
Before you can build a boat
- “Name's Lou. I give out boats. You came here on one, so you know what they're for. If you don't, I can't help you. That's the one thing I can't help with.”
- “You need to know how a boat's made before I give you one. It's a rule. Gus over in Gallows Rest made the rule. I don't know why I follow it. He's not even here.”
Once you can
- “Gus says you got his plans back. Word reached all the way out here. Good for Gus. He'll lose them again. That's not a high bar. That's a bar on the ground. Anyway, you've got a boat.”
Calling your boat
- “There she is. Floats, mostly. Pointy end goes first.”
- “Here she comes. Good boat. She always finds her way back. Better than the folks on her.”
When you walk off mid-sentence
- “Okay. I didn't have much left to say anyhow. I'm tired.”
- “Walkin' off. Fine. Saves me the breath. It's hot out here.”
- “Go on, then. I'll be here. I'm always here. That's the job.”
